Many subjects with diabetes also had additional risk factors (current smokers (aOR=1.28; 95%\u2009CI 0.95 to 1.71), comorbid chronic kidney disease (aOR=1.26; 95%\u2009CI 1.03 to 1.55) and history of TB (aOR=2.08; 95%\u2009CI 1.19 to 3.63)). The presence of BCG scar was protective (aOR=0.66; 95%\u2009CI 0.51 to 0.85). Duration of diabetes and poor glycaemic control were unrelated to the risk of LTBI.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There was a moderately increased risk of LTBI in patients with diabetes from this high TB incidence area.
