Extract
The association between diabetes mellitus (DM) and tuberculosis (TB) has been a matter of study worldwide, since it is assumed that DM triples the risk of TB [1]. Recent studies have found discrepant prevalence of DM among TB patients, ranging from 5.3% in Denmark [2] to 44% in India [3]. There is an urgent need to control both epidemics in order to achieve the World Health Organization (WHO) TB elimination goal [4]. To reach this goal, an integrated approach between TB elimination strategies and control of noncommunicable diseases that perpetuate the risk for TB is fundamental [5].
