Prevalence of diabetes type-2 & pulmonary
tuberculosis among Filipino and treatment
outcomes: a surveillance study in the Eastern
Saudi Arabia
Aim: The aim is to study prevalence of diabetes type-2
and pulmonary tuberculosis among Filipino patients and
treatment out comes. Tuberculosis centre of Dammam
medical complex(MOH) is a referral centre for the Eastern
Saudi Arabia where patients from all government and private
hospitals having open pulmonary tuberculosis are admitted
for isolation till they are rendered non-infectious. All patients
are treated for 6 months under DOTS strategy with 4 drugs
(2HRZE) for 2 months as initial intensive phase and 2 drugs
(HR) for 4 months as continuation phase.
Materials & Methods: We retrospectively reviewed clinical
records of 1388 patients admitted with open pulmonary
tuberculosis between Jan- 2003 and June-2010.
Results: Among 1388 patients, 39% (n=542) were Saudis and
61% (n=846) were non-Saudis. Among these 12.39% (n=172)
were Filipinos, 153 males and 19 females respectively. Out
of 1388 patients, 114 (7.17%) were found to have diabetes
type-2. Among these diabetics, majority n=91 (79.82%) were
Filipinos. Sputum conversion was late in diabetic patients
resulting in relatively longer hospital stay compared to fellow
patients having only tuberculosis.
