Bidirectional Relationship

Screening for Tuberculosis in people with Diabetes and screening for Diabetes in people with Tuberculosis will allow earlier detection of co-morbidities, leading to better health outcomes. This study carried out in a tertiary care hospital in South India consisted of 500 Diabetic patients and 250 patients of Tuberculosis. In 250 Tuberculosis patients screened for DM, the overall prevalence of DM in TB patients was 24.8%,out of which 17.2 % already had Diabetes and 7.6% was the additional yield during screening. About 500 Diabetes cases screened for tuberculosis, 7.6% had symptoms suggestive of tuberculosis. On further evaluation of these subjects none of them revealed evidence for tuberculosis. There exists a bidirectional relationship between TB and diabetes, and they both impact the presentation of each other. This study highlights the need of routine screening for dysglycemia for all TB patients, especially at the time of diagnosis, similar to HIV screening.

Objective: The major theme of the research was to evaluate the frequency of diabetes mellitus patients with hepatitis C infection at tertiary care hospital of Sindh, Pakistan. Methodology: Descriptive cross sectional study was conducted at tertiary care hospital of Sindh, Pakistan for the period of 08 months; total 374 sample size was calculated by using Rao soft sample size calculator at the prevalence rate of 58.3% and confidence level 95% and margin of error 5%. Data was collected from patients of sero-positive HCV-RNA (Hepatitis C Virus-Ribose Nucleic Acid) visiting outpatient department or admitted at tertiary care hospital of Sindh, Pakistan and Informed consent form was also filled from all included subjects and data was analyzed by using SPSS software version 24.00. Results: From the 374 patients 209 were males and 165 females and all participants were divided in to various age groups as 15 patients were in the age group of 20-25 years, 67 patients were in 26-30 years, 48 patients included in 31-35 years and 109 patients were included in to age group of 36-40 years. Only 12 patients were included in the age group of 50 years and above. Total 164 (43.85%) were diabetic and 229 (61.22%) were diagnosed with Hepatitis C RNA (Ribose Nucleic Acid) positive. Patients had various range of HbA1c as 93 patients had range between 6-7mmol/dl. 107(28.60%) included in 7-9mmol/dl, 145(38.77%) included in 9-11mmol/dl and only 29 patients were having HbA1c (Glycated Hemoglobin) level above 11mmol/dl. Conclusion: It was concluded that there were increased number of diabetic patients with hepatitis C in worsening condition, so the proper programs should be conducted in order to reduce the complication of co-morbid disease.

Prevalence Of Diabetes Mellitus

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus and Tuberculosis are two major diseases that often present together and complicate each other at many levels. The epidemic growth of Diabetes Mellitus has occurred in developing countries where Tuberculosis (TB) is highly endemic. As a result, Diabetes Mellitus and TB are increasingly present together. Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of diabetes in tuberculosis patients currently on DOTS treatment and to determine the socio-demographic factors associated with it. Method: A cross sectional study was carried out among pulmonary TB patients receiving DOTS treatment. Total 340 patients were included using convenient sampling who received treatment between August and October 2018. Results: Out of 340 patients, 208 (61%) were males and 132 (39%) were females. The prevalence of diabetes in patients of tuberculosis was found to be 11.5%. Among diabetics, 59% had only diabetes and 41% had other co-morbid disease apart from it. About 56.4% of diabetic TB patients were consuming tobacco. Age, Illiteracy, re-treatment regime were significantly associated with presence of diabetes among TB patients.Conclusion: Diabetes was found to be prevalent in 11.5% of the patients of tuberculosis. Diabetes is significantly associated with the severity of TB, old age and literacy of the TB patients in this study.
