Diabetes Mellitus as Hub for Tuberculosis Infection: A Snapshot.
Tuberculosis (TB) still remains the thorn in the flesh of efficient therapeutics affecting one-third of global population annually.

In the recent years, growing body of evidence has gained considerable prominence which suggests that Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is individual risk factor leading to complicated TB infections. In this article the authors have attempted to summarize the link of type 2 DM with TB, the mechanistic action of how DM sensitizes for developing the active TB infection from the latent infection, and problems faced during treatment followed by possible preventive measures. We have tried to give account of the alterations that occurred in DM making a person more prone to develop TB.
