Core Tip	Tuberculosis (TB) and diabetes mellitus (DM) are two common diseases especially highly prevalent in developing countries. Diabetes is an important risk factor for the development and perpetuation of TB owing to the immune dysfunction in patients with DM, whereas TB-related cellular and immunological alterations can worsen diabetes control. It is crucial to identify the risk factors for TB in patients with DM and vice versa to ensure prompt diagnosis and optimal management. Shi et al recently elaborated the factors associated with development of TB in DM cases in a recent issue of World Journal of Diabetes. Such research data is expected to improve our knowledge to fight against these dangerous diseases.
