Abstract:Background
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common comorbidity of active pulmonary tuberculosis (APTB) that increases the risk of treatment failure during anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy.

Methodology
To explore changes in systemic inflammation, measured by a set of inflammatory mediators in subjects with APTB and TBDM before and after s… Show more
