We studied whether diabetics who are one of the high risk groups of developing pulmonary tuberculosis had undergone chest X-ray examination periodically. The feasibility of chemoprophylaxis in diabetics was also studied by investigating whether fibrotic lesions of tuberculosis can be found on previous chest X-ray films of these patients.<BR>Of the pulmonary tuberculosis patients admitted to our hospital for treatment, 78 patients complicated with diabetes mellitus were enrolled in this study. As to the mode of detection, the majority, 63 cases, are discovered, by undergoing medical examination because of respiratory symptoms, followed by 8 patients in whom pulmonary tuberculosis was found by health examination and only 1 patient was found by the periodic observation of diabetes mellitus.<BR>Of the 57 patients receiving the original treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis preceded by the discovery of diabetes mellitus, only 15 (26%) had undergone chest X-ray examination periodically. This fact shows that physicians treating diabetes mellitus have only a little concern on tuberculosis, thus the re-training of physicians dealing with diabetics on tuberculosis is considered to be necessary. According to chest X-ray films of 21 patients who had undergone chest X-ray examination and in whom the previous films were available, there were 6 patients without any lesion of pulmonary tuberculosis, 8 patients with fibrotic lesions and 7 patients with active lesions. The 8 patients showing fibrotic lesions have developed pulmonary tuberculosis on the average 15 years after they were diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, and the fact suggests that the prevention of the development of pulmonary tuberculosis among diabetics could be possible by chemoprophylaxis.
