Abstract:

Tuberculosis (TB) and diabetes mellitus (DM) are both frequently-occurring clinical diseases and global pandemics. The two can coexist and influence each other. DM increases the risk of active TB, and TB may provoke hyperglycemia. The double burden of TB and DM has become a major public health problem. Therefore, it is necessary to manage the two diseases jointly. This consensus focuses on the pandemics, two-way screening, pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis, treatment and management of comorbidity of TB-DM, providing guidance to health care workers.
