What is Diabetes and Tuberculosis: Is There a Relationship? about?
## Abstract **Background:** There is growing evidence that Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is an important risk factor for Tuberculosis (TB) and might affect disease presentation and treatment response. Risk factors for TB include HIV/AIDS, immune suppression (i.e. steroids), silicosis, malnutrition, smoke from domestic stoves and cigarettes, and DM. In recent decades, TB incidence has declined in high-income countries, but incidence remains high in countries that have high rates of HIV infection, malnutrition, and crowded living conditions. Furthermore, DM prevalence is increasing globally, fueled by obesity. Several case–control studies have shown that the odd ratios of developing TB in diabetic patients ranges from 2.44 to 8.33 compared with non-diabetic patients. Several large-scale longitudinal cohort studies have shown similar findings. **Case:** A 63-year-old male with poorly controlled type 2 DM (HbA1C of 15%), HTN, COPD and history of pulmonary TB who had previously received 2 courses of treatment, was admitted with sudden dyspnea with non-productive cough. In the ED, he was hypoxic, had bilateral pleural effusions, lower extremity edema and newly diagnosed acute systolic CHF. Sput
