Core Tip

Core tip: This study elucidated the distinct computed tomography imaging characteristics of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in patients with diabetes, highlighting the necessity for an integrated diagnostic approach. Findings indicated that PTB-diabetes patients had more extensive, complex lesion morphologies compared to those with PTB alone. Age and medical history significantly influenced infection severity and imaging outcomes, emphasizing the importance of personalized treatment strategies. This research underscores the need for heightened clinical awareness and tailored management of this comorbidity to improve diagnostic accuracy and patient care.
