Abstract:

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and HIV increase the risk of tuberculosis (TB). The frequency of DM among patients with TB with and without HIV is poorly documented in many low- and middle income countries. This was a cross-sectional hospital-based study performed in Abuja, Nigeria. Adults with presumptive TB were screened consecutively. Four hundred and ten individuals had TB culture, FPG, and HbA1c results. A high proportion of patients in Abuja have markers of DM and pre-diabetes at the time of TB diagnosis.
