Abstract

Background: Despite the implementation of a widely adopted strategy to control tuberculosis (TB), the disease remains a major public health problem particularly in developing country, like India. The objective of the study was to find out the prevalence of Diabetes mellitus type 11 among pulmonary tuberculosis patients in and around District of Kancheepuram, Tamil Nadu, India.

Methods: A total of 326 sputum samples were collected from clinically suspected pulmonary tuberculosis patients aged between 20-60 yrs, in a Tertiary care hospital and Research Institute Kancheepuram District, Tamilnadu, for a study period of 6 months.

Results: Among the 326 pulmonary TB suspects, a total of 53 (16.25%) were identified as pulmonary tuberculosis based on smear positive results. All smear positive samples were subjected for Diabetes mellitus. Out of 53 TB patients, 7 (13.20%) patients were positive for Diabetes mellitus type II. Of the 07 positive samples, 4 (57 %) males and 3 (43%) females had Diabetes mellitus type II and PTB

Key words: Pulmonary Tuberculosis, Diabetes mellitus (DM), Sputum AFB smear, Sputum culture.
