In 60 tuberculosis patients with diabetes mellitus and autoimmune thyroiditis serum level of selenium, thyroid state and immunological indexes were studied. Low level of selenium, subclinical hypothyroidism and weaken immunological response toward tuberculosis were diagnosed. Prescribing of selenite sodium with 200 ц daily during 2 months normalized serum level of selenium, restored thyroid function and improved immunological response. Inclusion of selenite sodium in complex therapy of tuberculosis patients with diabetes mellitus and autoimmune thyroiditis after examination of serum level of selenium and thyroid state is recommended.
