title: [Epidemiological and immunogenetic analysis of tuberculosis and diabetes mellitus association].
abstract: The prevalence of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) among adults in two Moscow okrugs was studied. It was 0.218 and 1.678%, respectively, the latter form being encountered 7.7 times more frequently. Patients with pulmonary tuberculosis followed at tuberculosis control dispensaries (n = 69,012) were found to have diabetes mellitus in 236 cases (120 with IDDM and 116 with NIDDM). The prevalence of IDDM among the tuberculosis control dispensary patients was 1.7%, which was 8 times greater than that in the general population. That of NIDDM was 1.68%, which did not significantly differ from that in the population. Epidemiological analysis showed that there was a highly significant association of tuberculosis with diabetes mellitus in the population. The risk for IDDM was 3.6% in patients and exceeded that in the population while the risk for NIDDM in the population was the same as that in the population. Analyzing the distribution of immunogenetic HLA-1 and HLA-2 markers showed that patients with tuberculosis concurrent with IDDM were intermediate between a group of patients with isolated tuberculosis and isolated IDDM.
