چکیده
Tuberculosis is at least as old as mankind and the history of tuberculosis is intertwined with that of civilization. Over the centuries its prevalence has waxed and waned but it remained a continuous threat. Its association with diabetes mellitus was reported by Avicenna (Ibn Sina 980-1037) an Arabian physician [1,2]. It was the leading cause of death in diabetic patients in the preantibiotic era and more than 50% of them were documented to have had pulmonary tuberculosis during postmortem examination[2].
