Objectives: To determine the prevalence of pulmonary tuberculosis in diabetics, to identify risk factors associated with pulmonary tuberculosis in diabetics, and to describe the clinical features of the association of pulmonary tuberculosis and diabetes. Materials and method: This was a cohort study that took place from November 18, 2015 to January 31, 2018 at the Department of Endocrinology, Diabetology and Metabolic Diseases of the University Hospital of Donka. Results: among the 1912 diabetic patients screened for tuberculosis, 46 had bacteriologically confirmed pulmonary tuberculosis, i.e. a prevalence of 2.4% and 01 had clinically diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis with 0.1%. A female predominance was noted with a sex ratio of 0.8. The 45 - 54 age group was the most affected with a mean age of 46 years. Body Mass Index (p = 0.001), smoking (p = 0.0101) and history of infection (p = 0.001) were significantly associated with pulmonary tuberculosis. The history of smoking (p = 0.0101), the notion of contagion (p = 0.001), the cough (p = 0.001), the fever (p = 0.001), the nocturnal sweat (p = 0.001) and the hemoptysis (p = 0.001) were the clinical characteristics significantly associated with pulmonary tuberculosis. Conclusion: The results of this study show a remarkably high prevalence of tuberculosis in diabetic patients in Guinea highlighting the need for urgent action to better understand and treat the double burden of tuberculosis and diabetes.
