Article Synopsis
- The study took place at Bowring and Lady Curzon Hospital in Bangalore, focusing on the bidirectional screening of tuberculosis (TB) and diabetes mellitus (DM).
- The research involved assessing all TB patients for DM and vice versa over a six-month period, revealing that 6.3% of TB patients were previously diagnosed with DM, while additional screening identified more cases of pre-diabetes and DM.
- The conclusion highlights that screening for DM in TB patients is effective, though the detection rate of TB in DM patients was low, suggesting the need for improved diagnostic methods in future studies.
