Abstract:

With the increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and multidrug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis (MDR-PTB), the effect of DM on MDR-PTB has aroused people’s concern. The authors analyzed the effects of DM on MDR-PTB by summarizing the incidence, clinical features, imaging features, other bacterial infections, selection and application of anti-tuberculosis drugs, and treatment outcome of MDR-PTB patients complicated with DM in the domestic and foreign literatures. The results suggest that DM is an important risk factor for MDR-PTB. Effective control of blood glucose as soon as possible, reasonable selection of effective anti-tuberculosis drugs, timely detection and management of adverse drug reactions during treatment, and treatment of DM complications are the key to improve the success rate of MDR-PTB with diabetes.
