Abstract
The association between tuberculosis (TB) and Diabetes Mellitus (DM) has been established by multiple epidemiological studies worldwide. This study aims to find the prevalence of DM in TB patients in Bangladesh and attempts to investigate other factors associated to DM after a comparative analysis between TB and TB-DM groups. A descriptive cross sectional survey was done among 100 TB patients admitted in NIDCH, Dhaka using a structured questionnaire and interview, and data collected from their clinical records. Statistical analysis was carried out to find the association between TB and DM and other socio-demographic variables. Out of 100 patients admitted to NIDCH, 37% of the patients were diabetics. Majority of both groups had pulmonary TB and exhibited multi drug resistance. Amongst the TB-DM group, majority had Type 2 diabetes, poor glycemic control and reported having major complications of their co-morbidity. Males and middle aged (31-50) were more in TB-DM group while females and younger patients (<30) were prevalent in TB group. TB-DM group had a greater proportion of patients who drank alcohol while TB group had more smokers. Being married, higher income, occupation and greater age were found to have strong association with diabetes.
