dc.description.abstractGlobally, epidemics of diabetes mellitus (DM) and tuberculosis (TB) are increasingly linked.1,2 Diabetes is associated with TB infection and with a two-to-four-fold increase in the risk of active disease;3 active TB may also increase the risk of diabetes.4 In sub- Saharan Africa, where the prevalence of diabetes in the general population is lower than in other regions,5 the prevalence of diabetes among patients with TB has been estimated at 9%.6 However, many studies that contributed to that estimate, including one in Uganda,7 evaluated only hospitalized TB patients and may not be representative of the region’s TB epidemic as a whole. There are few data from sub-Saharan African settings on the prevalence of DM among non-hospitalized TB patients or people with TB who have not yet sought treatment. Therefore, the extent to which diabetes detection or management should be integrated with TB care in this region remains unclear.en_US
