Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that poses a significant health threat and is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Diabetes mellitus (DM) has high morbidity and mortality rates. Previous studies have reported that comorbidities can influence one another and aggravate immune disorders. A systematic and comprehensive evaluation of the immune status of patients with TB and DM (TB-DM) is helpful for early clinical immune intervention and for promoting the recovery of patients with TB-DM.
