title: [Inter-relations between pulmonary tuberculosis and diabetes mellitus].
abstract: The glucose tolerance test was applied in 50 patients with cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis. In 8 cases chemical diabetes was found representing a proportion of 16% as compared to 2.13% in the rest of the population. Certain possible etiopathogenic factors are discussed: sex, age, environment, nutritional status, age of the disease and tuberculostatic medication. Tuberculosis may be considered as a "diabetogenic risk" factor.
