Objective: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are often immunosuppressed and susceptible to infectious diseases. We investigated the mortality and related risk factors of active TB disease in patients with T2DM in Taiwan.
Materials And Methods: The data of 1258 patients diagnosed with both T2DM and active TB disease from January 1 to December 31, 2002 (T2DM-TB group) were retrieved from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. Patients in the T2DM-TB group were matched by age, sex, and comorbidities to a control group of 10,064 T2DM patients without TB disease (T2DM group). Patients were followed up since TB diagnosis until death or 31 December 2011. Cox proportional-hazards regression analysis was employed to compare the risk of death between the T2DM group and the T2DM-TB group.
Results: A total of 101,837 potentially eligible patients were included in the study. After 1:10 propensity score matching, 1,258 patients were classified in the T2DM-TB group and 10,064 patients in the T2DM group. After adjustment for age, sex and comorbidities, the T2DM-TB group showed a 2.16-fold higher mortality risk than the T2DM group (95% CI = 1.83-2.56, < .001). The mortality risk remained higher after stratification by year. The log-rank test indicated that male sex, age ≥60 years, hypertension and heart failure were independent risk factors.
Conclusions: TB increases mortality risk in patients with T2DM on long-term follow-up. The independent risk factors for mortality in patients with concurrent T2DM and TB disease include male sex, age ≥60 years, hypertension and heart failure.KEY MESSAGESThe co-presentation of T2DM and TB is an important emerging issue, especially in Asia.This study showed mortality risk was significantly higher in the T2DM-TB group compared with the T2DM group on long-term follow-up.Increased medical attention is necessary for patients with T2DM and a history of TB disease.

Background: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB), with a high global prevalence and mortality rate. To control the gruesome pathogen, a deep understanding of pathophysiology and host-pathogen interaction is essential for early diagnosis and novel drug development. Cytokines play a crucial role in infection and susceptibility, and their expressions could serve as potential biomarkers to enhance our understanding of Mtb pathophysiology for improved therapeutic approaches.

Background: To describe the trends of Type 2 Diabetes with Pulmonary Tuberculosis (T2DM-TB) patients from 2013 to 2022 and to investigate the impact of COVID-19 lockdown on glycemic control and associated factors in T2DM-TB.
Methods: In this population-based study of the First Affiliated Yijishan Hospital of Wannan Medical College in China, we described the 10-year trends of patients diagnosed with T2DM-TB. We included patients diagnosed with TB, T2DM-TB and T2DM-TB patients for comparative analysis, aged 15 years or older.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between active pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) by analysing the clinical features and computed tomography (CT) findings of patients with active pulmonary TB and comorbid T2DM (TB-DM) in the LiangShan Yi regions.
Methods: We collected data from 154 hospitalised patients with TB-DM initially confirmed at an infectious disease hospital in the Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture between 1 and 2019, and 31 December 2021. These were matched by sex and age ± 3 years to 145 hospitalised patients with initially confirmed pulmonary TB without comorbid T2DM (TB-NDM) over the same period.
