Abstract

The relationship between patients with tuberculosis and diabetes has long been known. Numerous studies have shown that diabetes alters the clinical manifestations and X-rays of pulmonary tuberculosis. At Thai Nguyen Tuberculosis and Lung Disease Hospital, there has not been much research on this issue, so we conducted this study with the aim of describing the clinical and subclinical characteristics of pulmonary tuberculosis in patients Type 2 diabetes with research methods that describe cross-sectional designs, combining retrospective and prospective studies. The study results showed that the mean age ± SD of patients with tuberculosis with diabetes was 58 ± 13 years older than patients with simple tuberculosis (42.27 ± 18) (p = 0.001). Mild fever in the afternoon, hiss, snoring rale was more common in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis with diabetes (p <0.05), but more weight loss was seen in the pulmonary tuberculosis group (p <0.05). Cave lesions and mediastinal lesions on X-ray were more common in patients with tuberculosis with diabetes (27.9% and 62.8%, respectively) compared with patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (6.5% and 43.5%, respectively).
