Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis is one of the most common infectious diseases that patients with DM get because of their weakened immune systems. Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify the prevalence of different types of active tuberculosis among individuals with diabetes. Methodology: The Department of Pulmonology at PIMS Hospital Islamabad, which was done from January 2021 to January 2022, employed cross-sectional, observational, and qualitative techniques studied in this inquiry. Inquiries were conducted in pulmonology department outpatient clinics with patients with diabetes who satisfied the inclusion criteria (cough with or without expectoration, hemoptysis, persistent fever, and unexplained weight loss) (OPDs). All instances of immunological compensation and secondary diabetes, as well as short duration of diabetes, age less than 10 and more than 85, were disregarded. After approval was gained, a comprehensive history, clinical examination, and testing were carried out to investigate the potential of TB. SPSS version 26 was used to import all the data for further analysis. Of of the 545 patients that were questioned, 149 were selected for further TB testing. Just 18 people had active TB, according to the data (12 per cent).
