Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health problem in India. TB worsens
glycaemic control in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), complicating the
treatment for each condition leading to poor treatment outcomes and increase in
morbidity / mortality. Human immunodeficiency virus - tuberculosis (HIV-TB) coinfections are on the rise. The objectives of the study were to describe various
comorbidities in patients with tuberculosis, determine expected radiological
presentations in these patients and to determine prognosis altering metabolic
indicators in patients with TB.
