Abstract:

Data of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients registered by Infectious Disease Reporting System (IDRS) and Tuberculosis Management Information System (TBMIS) from 2011 to 2015 in the District of Longgang were collected to analyze the epidemiological features of PTB complicated with diabetes mellitus (PTB-DM). The result showed that 3974 PTB cases were registered from 2011 to 2015 in the district of Longgang, among whom 102 (2.57%) cases were identified with PTB-DM. There were 65 male and 37 female PTB-DM patients. Most PTB-DM patients were ≥45 years, accounting for 85.29% (87/102). The majority of PTB-DM patients (92.16%, 94/102) were found by clinical consultation. The proportion of onset of diabetes before the PTB (89.22%, 91/102) was higher than that of the PTB before diabetes (10.78%, 11/102). Therefore, we should strengthen screening PTB-DM, improve the cure rate of PTB, and reduce the spread of tuberculosis.
