[Manifestations of pulmonary tuberculosis concurrent with diabetes mellitus and various haptoglobin phenotypes]
Abstract:
For diagnosis, detection of the specific manifestations of pulmonary tuberculosis (PT) concurrent with diabetes mellitus, 48 patients with insulin-dependent diabetes (IDD) and 132 with noninsulin-dependent diabetes (NIDD), who carry various haptoglobin (Hp) phenotypes were studied. It has been found that PT develops in IDD mainly in 5-10 years and in NIDD in 1-4 years. The gravest course of both types of diabetes is frequently encountered in those having Hp 2-2 phenotypes and slightly less frequently in those with Hp 1-1. The patients having these phenotypes have abnormalities in the levels of glycaric hemoglobin, 2.3-diphosphoglycerol phosphate, in the activity of the enzymes lactate dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and acid-alkali imbalance. It is expedient to determine Hp phenotypes to evaluate the severity and prognosis and to choose a treatment policy for comorbidity and the proposed biochemical indices should be more widely used to evaluate carbohydrate metabolic disturbances in PT concurrent with diabetes mellitus.

Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
