Since the 1980s, HIV has contributed to an increase in tuberculosis (TB) cases across the globe. Recently, diabetes has been found to be an important risk factor for TB. In a new study, Yale researchers investigated whether having both HIV and diabetes increases the risk of developing TB among individuals living in rural South Africa.
The study, led by Sheela Shenoi and Pranay Sinha, is published in the International Journal of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease.
