Scientists probe hidden links between malnutrition, diabetes, and tuberculosis

NCT ID NCT04526613

Summary

This study aimed to understand how common health problems like malnutrition, diabetes, and worm infections might increase the risk of latent tuberculosis (TB) becoming active. Researchers in India enrolled 626 people with and without latent TB to measure how often these other conditions occur together. They collected blood, urine, and stool samples to look for biological signs that might explain the increased risk.
