About half of the diabetics were diagnosed (2.8%) at the screening. The mean age of the participants was 34.9 \u00b1 13.21 years; the mean duration of symptoms of TB was 9.65 \u00b1 9.49 months. Weight (kg) loss was the most predominant symptom occurring in 94% of the patients. There was no significant difference in the sputum positivity and duration of cough among patients with TB-DM and those with TB alone.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Diabetes is an important co-morbid feature to be sought in patients with TB.
