Objective: The aim: To assess carbohydrate and lipid metabolic profiles of tuberculosis patients with bilateral injuries of the lungs and mycobacteria excretion.
Patients and methods: Materials and methods: Seventy two newly diagnosed pulmonary TB patients were examined. Group I - 17 newly diagnosed TB patients who had unilateral pulmonary lesions and had no mycobacteria excretion. Group II - 55 newly diagnosed TB patients who had bilateral pulmonary lesions and mycobacteria excretion. The control group included 20 healthy persons. Fasting insulin level, indices of lipidogram were measured, oral glucose tolerance test was performed. Statistical processing of the obtained results was carried out by analyzing the contingency tables using the StatisticaBasicAcademic 13 for Windows software package.
Results: Results: Tuberculosis patients develop insulin resistance - condition that is a precursor to developing type 2 diabetes and metabolic disorder of lipid exchange - dyslipidemia. Patients with bilateral pulmonary lesions and mycobacteria excretion have the most pronounced disorders of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism compared to patients with limited lesions of the lungs.
Conclusion: Conclusions: We suppose that mycobacteria excretion and bilateral lesions of lungs may be the markers of the degree of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism disorders in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.
Keywords: glucose metabolism; lipidogram; mycobacteria excretion; pulmonary tuberculosis.
