Abstract:

Tuberculosis is still a major global health problem. In recent years, increasing evidence has demonstrated that diabetes increases the risk of tuberculosis infection, and tuberculosis complicated with diabetes can lead to adverse outcomes of tuberculosis, which brings great difficulties and challenges to the prevention and control of tuberculosis. By reviewing the latest epidemiological studies on tuberculosis complicated with diabetes in recent years, the authors expound the relationship between tuberculosis and diabetes. This paper further proves that two-way screening is beneficial to the early detection and treatment of diseases, and then summarizes the research progress in the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis complicated with diabetes, which is aimed to search for the optimal diagnosis and treatment methods and explore novel ideas for diagnosis and treatment.
