Issue Date: | Jan-2019 | Publisher: | Oxford University Press (OUP) | Journal: | Open forum infectious diseases | Abstract: | The growing burden of diabetes mellitus (DM) is posing a threat to global tuberculosis (TB) control. DM triples the risk of developing TB, modifies the presenting features of pulmonary TB, and worsens TB treatment outcomes. We aimed to analyze the prevalence of DM among TB patients and to describe the characteristics and clinical presentation of TB-DM patients in Europe. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12188/9159 | ISSN: | 2328-8957 | DOI: | 10.1093/ofid/ofy337 |
