Hyperglycemia during tuberculosis treatment increases morbidity and mortality in a contemporary cohort of HIV-infected patients in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

“…Previous studies have shown that TB induced stress hyperglycemia (due to general inflammatory factors triggered by active TB), especially in the first months after treatment initiation, but thereafter, there is a return to a euglycemic state (Bloom, 1969;Seth et al, 1982;Oluboyo and Erasmus, 1990;Jawad et al, 1995;Basoglu et al, 1999;Tabarsi et al, 2014;Ogbera et al, 2015;Boillat-Blanco et al, 2016). Likewise, in our cohort, the median time from TB treatment initiation to hyperglycemia detection was 30 days, and 68% of those patients further normalized to a euglycemic state.…”
