Treatment outcomes in tuberculosis patients with diabetes: a polytomous analysis using Brazilian surveillance system.

<h4>Background</h4>The impact of non-communicable diseases on tuberculosis incidence has received significant attention. It has been suggested that the risk of tuberculosis is higher among subjects with diabetes and these subjects also has poor TB treatment outcomes.This study was aimed...
