DM is a risk factor for TB, while TB will adversely affect DM's treatment. The co-infection is more prevalent in TB-endemic areas and among low socioeconomic populations than others. Methods : This is a cross-sectional prospective observational study conducted at Kassala State in Sudan between March 2012 to March 2022, including 120 diabetic patients with tuberculous infected ulcers. The outcome measures were wound healing, response to anti-tuberculous drugs, and final treatment outcome. Results: 120 patients participated, majority were males 66.7%, living in rural areas 75.0%, 70.0% were illiterate, have wounds in the foot 66.7% and 60.8% had their wounds healed in less than 60 days for healing. The mean duration of diabetes was 14 years. Age, gender, residence place, BMI, disease duration, hospital stay, and wound site were associated with wound healing, with a P value 0.001), and hospital stay (P > 0.001) made a significant contribution to the prediction of the duration of wound healing. For the response to anti-TB drugs, site of the wound, AAFB result, ESR level, and severity of PAD, HbA1c level were significant. For the final treatment outcome, residence, site of wound, severity of PAD, and HbA1c level were significant. Conclusion: Factors affected wound healing were age, gender, residence, BMI, duration of infection, hospital stay, and wound site. For the response to anti-TB drugs and final treatment outcome, site of the wound, AAFB result, ESR level, severity of PAD, and HbA1c level residence, were the factors with significant impact. Health sciences/Diseases Health sciences/Medical research Health sciences/Risk factors DM TB outcome wounds Kassala Figures Figure 1 Introduction Patients with long-standing Diabetes Mellitus (DM) are more susceptible to bacterial invasion on minor skin trauma. The pathophysiological pathway is multi-factorial and is a subject of debate. Defective cell-mediated immunity, neuropathy, hypoperfusion, and hypoxia are the contributing factors to the development of infected ulcers [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ]. There are multiple wound classification systems to categorize diabetic ulcers. The University of Texas Classification (UT) and International Consensus on the Diabetic Foot (ICDF) are commonly used and easily applicable. (1,2) Other classification systems include IWGDF (International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot), IDSA (Infectious Diseases Society of America), and PEDIS classification, [ 1 , 4 ]. The vascularity assessment of the diabetic patient is a crucial part of their management. Multiple modalities of investigations assess vascularity according to the patient’s status. The Ankle Brachial Systolic Index (ABSI) is used to grade the severity of the peripheral arterial disease into five groups (normal 1.4-1, mild disease 0.9 − 0.8, moderate disease 0.7 − 0.5, severe disease < 0.5). [ 1 ] Treating diabetic wounds combines reperfusion, surgical debridement, antibiotic therapy, and growth enhancement. The surgical treatment ranges from regular dressing, debridement, and minor or major amputations, which occur in around 20% of patients with diabetic ulcers, representing 15% of diabetic patients [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. TB diagnosis is by isolation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in culture, AAFB after ZN (Ziehl-Neelsen) staining, or the presence of TB granuloma on histological examination. The clinical presentation is of utmost importance with focal lesions, weight loss, mild fever, and the type of ulcer. Some inflammatory markers, like CRP, ESR, and results of the Mantoux test, are helpful predictors of the presence of TB infection. MRI and CT-guided bone biopsy are additional investigations for complex cases in addition to PCR, Xpert MTB/RIF, and gold interferon, which are more precise tests [ 8 , 9 ] Recently with the increased incidence of DM and TB many researches are done in the field. Cutaneous tuberculous infection is a rare form of extrapulmonary TB, with an incidence of 1 in 1000 TB cases, the diagnosis depends on clinical suspicion of a non-healing ulcer not responding to regular wound care. The defective immune reaction of diabetic patients predisposes them to TB infection. Poor glycemic control, insulin resistance drug interactions, and the hyperglycemic effect of some anti-TB drugs are responsible for this decreased response to treatment, which increases mortality and treatment period. [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ] The clinical association between DM and TB represents a global concern for the WHO, as it increases the morbidity and mortality by worsening treatment outcomes. A multidisciplinary approach is crucial, especially in low-income countries, to improve the outcomes of these patients. [ 7 , 12 , 13 , 15 , 16 , 17 ] Here, we conducted an observational prospective study to identify the factors associated with the duration of wound healing, response to anti-TB drugs, and treatment outcome. Methods We conducted this prospective observational study at Kassala State in Sudan between March 2012 and March 2022. The respondents were from Kassala State and other areas nearby. All diabetic patients diagnosed with tuberculous infected ulcers participated in this study. A total of 120 patients were selected by convenience. Data was collected using pretested questionnaire. The questionnaire was composed of sociodemographic and clinical data. Data included gender, age and age group, residence, BCG vaccination status, level of education, duration of diabetes, amount of Insulin needed before and after treatment, duration of infection before diagnosis of TB, and length of hospital stay. All participants underwent investigations and clinical assessments initially and during the treatment course. These investigations included AAFB, Mantoux test, ESR, histological examination, doppler ultrasound of the lower limb, and HbA1c levels (For HbA1C just above average was between 6.5-8%, the high level was 8.1–10%, and very high is > 10%.). The clinical information included BMI, site of the wound, presence, and severity of the PAD using ABSI (For ABSI, normal was between 1.4-1.0, mild PAD was 0.9 − 0.8, moderate PAD was 0.7 − 0.5, severe PAD was < 0.5), duration of wound healing, clinical response to treatment and outcome of treatment. All methods were carried out in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations. All patients who participated in the study had given informed consent by the patient or his or her legal guardian. The approval to conduct the study was obtained from the Ethics and Research committee in Kassala Police Hospital Statistical analysis: For data analysis, we used SPSS version 26.0. a descriptive analysis was used for all included variables using mean ± ±SD for all continuous variables and frequency and percentage for categorical variables. We used Chi-Square and T-tests for bivariate analysis. Results As shown in Table (1)120 patients participated in this study; 80(66.7%) patients were males, and 40(33.3%) were females. Regarding their residence, 90(75.0%) patients were from rural areas, while 30(25.0%) were from urban areas. On evaluating their nutritional status, 88(73.3%) patients have a BMI between 14-16, and 32(26.7%) have a BMI of 16.1-18. On age distribution among the patients, 11(9.2%) were less than 40 years old,52(43.3%) were 41-50 years old,22(18.3%) were 51-60 years old, while 35(29.2%) were older than 60 years. The mean age was 55.3 years; the youngest patient was 30, and the oldest was 77. For vaccination 29(24.2%) patients received BCG vaccines, while 91(75.8%) didn’t. Wound sites, was in the foot in 90(75.0%) patients, leg in 15(12.5%) patients, and thigh in 15(12.5%) (Figures 1). Regarding the response to anti-TB medications, 85 (70.8%) patients had a good response,28(23.3%) had a fair response, and seven (5.8%) had a poor response. The final treatment outcome was a full recovery in 90(75.0%) patients; 13(10.8%) underwent debridement and toes amputations, eight (6.7%) had forefoot amputations, three (2.5%) had below knee amputation, four (3.3%) had above knee amputation, while two (1.7%) died. Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) was present in 93(77.5%) patients, while 27 (22.5%) had normal lower limb perfusion. Regarding the duration of DM, the shortest duration was two years, the longest was 35 years, and the mean was 14 years. For DM duration 21(17.5%) patients had diabetes for less than five years, 36(30.0%) were 5-10 years,34(28.3%) were diabetic for 11-15 years,15(12.5%) had diabetes for 16-20 years and 14(11.7%) were diabetic for more than 20 years. The lowest dose of Insulin on admission was 20 units, the highest was 70 units, and the mean was 54 units, while after anti-TB treatment, the lowest dose was 20 units, the highest dose was 60 units, and the mean was 35.6. Hospital stay was a minimum of seven days and a maximum of 46 days, with a mean of 20 days. Fifteen (12.5%) patients stayed less than ten days in hospital,58(48.3%) stayed 10-20 days, 34(28.3%) stayed 21-30 days, while 13(10.8%) stayed more than 30 days. The duration of the wound was as short as one month, but in some patients, it was five months and the mean was about 2.5 months; 11(9.2%) patients had one-month duration,62(51.7%) had two months duration,23(19.2%) had three months duration,18 (15.0%) had four months duration and six (5.0%) had five months. Investigation results (Table 1), showed that the AAFB test was positive in 112(93.3%) patients and negative in six (6.7%). Mantoux test was positive in 95(79.2%) patients, negative in 12(10.0%) and 13 (10.8%) missed the test. ESR level was >100mm/hour in 99(82.5%) patients, and in 21(17.5%) it was < 100 mm/hour. Mycobacterium Tuberculosis was histologically detected in 95(79.2%) patients, negative in 18(15.0%) , and seven (5.8%)patients missed doing the test. On the assessment of patients’ glycemic control, 75(62.5%) patients had HbA1c just above the average level, 31(25.8%) had high levels, and 14(11.7%) had very high levels. Regarding BCG vaccination, 29(24.2%) participants had the vaccine, while 91(75.8%) were not. In this analysis, we used the Chi-square test and Independent T-test for all included categorical and continuous variables, respectively. For the response of the patients to treatment with anti-TB drugs, in Tables 2, the factors that showed statistically significant differences were the site of the wound (P value= 0.002), AAFB test results (P value=0.02), ESR levels (P value = 0.002), the ABSI and severity of PAD (P value= 0.001), and the diabetic control and HbA1c levels (P value < 0.001). Figure 1(A,B,C) shows different sites at different treatment times. Regarding the outcome of treatment, Table 3, the associated factors were the residence of the patients (P value was 0.05), the site of the wound (P value< 0.001), ABSI level, and severity of PAD (P value < 0.001) , HbA1c level (P value< 0.001), and response to anti-TB drugs (P value <0.001). However, the other factors had a clinical impact but did not show a statistically significant difference . With the duration of wound healing, Table 4 showed that age, gender, residence place, BMI, duration of infection before diagnosis, hospital stay, and the wound site were associated with the duration of wound healing, as the result was statistically significant with a P value less than 0.05. On the other hand, education, duration of diabetes, dose of Insulin on admission, and the dose of Insulin after treatment were not statistically associated with the duration of wound healing, as P values were more than 0.05. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to predict the most critical factors that have an association with the duration of wound healing after controlling other confounders (P > 0.05) by using a stepwise backward logistic regression method. It was demonstrated that gender ( P= 0.002), residence (P > 0.001), and hospital stay (P > 0.001) made a significant contribution to prediction, whereas other variables did not. The most critical factors responsible for increasing the BMI were identified using the Wald criterion, which gave the ‘importance’ of the contribution of each variable in the model. The Wald test estimated that hospital stay was the most important predictor of the duration of wound healing (Table 5). Discussion The incidence of DM with TB is more common in male patients and more common in older age and patients with low socioeconomic status. [ 13 , 15 ] In our study, 80 (66.7%) were males and 40 (33.3%) were females. Elderly diabetic patients are more prone to TB infection, especially in low or middle-income-class communities. The risk was higher in hyperglycemic patients. The same results occurred in a study from Denmark, which indicates that all the different economic classes are at risk [ 18 ] In our study, the highest incidence was among the age group aged 41–50 years, which was 52 (43.3%). The mean age was 55.3 years; the youngest patient was 30, and the oldest was 77. A systemic review looked into studies reporting on the DM and TB combination. The prevalence of DM among TB patients was variable, the lowest was 1.9 in Cotonu-Benin, and the highest was 54% in Ebeye-Marshal Islands. Meanwhile, the prevalence of TB among DM patients was 0.28 in Taiwan and 14% in Pakistan. [ 15 ] A systemic review and multiple researches revealed that the combination of DM and TB carries a higher risk of treatment failure and a higher incidence of death, especially in endemic areas of TB [ 19 , 20 ]. The mortality rate in our study was 1.7%; among 120 participants, two patients died within the course of treatment. Some authors related that to the presence of DM on top of TB, while other blame old age for that [ 12 , 15 ]. In our results, the patient's age was not a strong predictor of the patient's response to treatment. However, all patients below 40 years old had a good response to treatment, while two patients above 60 had a poor response. There was no statistically significant difference as the P value was 0.22 The treatment outcome also was not affected by the age group, as the two mortalities were one patient below 40 years old and one more than 60 years old, and there was no mortality or major amputation among patients aged 51–60 years; the P-value was 0.2 Delayed diagnosis of tuberculous diabetic ulcer eventually delays treatment. A high suspicion index is vital, especially in endemic areas of TB infection [ 21 ] In our study, the duration of ulcers before TB diagnosis was one month at minimum (43 patients, 35.9%) and two months at maximum (77 patients, 64.1%). Although it was clinically apparent that delayed diagnosis affected the response to treatment and prognosis, there was no statistically significant difference, and the P value was 0.3 for the response to anti-TB treatment and 0.07 for the treatment outcome. TB infection should be on the list of differential diagnoses of lower limb ulcers in endemic regions, where patients can easily get the infection [ 21 , 22 ] Although controlling the glucose level minimizes the chances of developing TB among DM people but a standard way to control glucose level is still lacking. [ 21 ] Our results showed that before anti-TB treatment, the lowest dose was 20, and the highest was 70 units of Insulin, with the mean being 54, while after the treatment, the lowest dose was the same, but the highest dose became 60 units with the mean being 35.6. In the Far East, both DM and TB have high prevalence; therefore, tight glycemic control and early intervention for both diseases are highly recommended [ 23 ] HbA1c level had a significant impact on the response to treatment with a P value of < 0.001; out of 75 patients with the mild rise of HbA1c, 61 patients had a good response, and five of 14 patients who had very high levels of HbA1c levels had a good response, Table 5 . For the final treatment outcome, the glycemic control showed a significant impact with a P value < 0.001, as 66 of patients with good glycemic control fully recovered, and none died or underwent major amputation. The conventional diagnostic tools for TB are inclusive in some patients with the disease. AAFB test using ZN stain may be negative in infected patients 31% positive cases and L.J. (Lowenstein-Jensen) culture, which takes a very long time, and 14% is positive results among infected patients. Mantoux test was positive in 58% of cases of infected patients. [ 22 ] The AAFB test was positive in 112 (93.3%) patients and negative in eight (6.7%) patients. The Mantoux test was positive in 66 (77.6%), negative in nine (10.6%), and ten (11.8%) missed out the test. ESR level was more than 100mm/hour in 99 (82.5%) patients, and in 21 (17.5%), it was less than 100 mm/hour. Histological detection of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis was positive in 95 (79.2%) patients, negative in 18 (15%) patients, and seven (5.8%) missed doing the test. Factors associated with DM in TB patients were male sex, elderly, crowded city living, drug and alcohol users, smoking, overweight, high blood pressure, HIV infection, long-standing DM, hyperglycemia, and pulmonary TB. These were associated with poor prognosis in TB patients. Multisectoral effort is the best approach to achieve good outcomes for this issue [ 14 , 24 , 25 ]. Favorable factors for good treatment outcomes were male gender, age less than 45 years, normal BMI, and negative AAFB test. [ 25 ] For the response to treatment with anti-TB drugs, the factors that showed statistically significant differences were the site of the wound (P value = 0.002), AAFB test results (P value = 0.02), ESR levels (P value = 0.002), the ABSI and severity of PAD (P value = 0.001), and the diabetic control and HbA1c levels (P value < 0.001). Regarding the outcome of treatment, the associated factors were the residence of the patients (P value = 0.05), the site of the wound (P value < 0.001), ABSI level, and severity of PAD (P value < 0.001), HbA1c level (P value < 0.001), and response to anti-TB drugs (P value < 0.001). Studies have given different results to the response of diabetic patients to anti-TB treatment, some authors reported poor responses with high incidence of drug resistance and mortality among diabetic patients with TB, While others reported better responses of diabetic TB patients than non-diabetic ones.One study reported that the serum level of Rifampicin in diabetic patients is half that of non-diabetic patients, which explains the poor response. [ 12 ] Different stages of wounds response to treatment are shown in Fig. 1 which shows a leg ulcer at the beginning of treatment A, shows thigh ulcer two months after beginning the treatment B, while C shows a foot ulcer three months after treatment. Amputation is the most feared outcome of diabetic wound, it is indicated in patients with poor response to conservative management. Minor amputations are indicated in 38%, and major ones are indicated in 9% of patients with diabetic ulcers. [ 2 , 3 ] The final treatment outcome in our study was a full recovery in 90 (75%) patients, 13 (10.8%) underwent debridement and toe amputations, eight (6.7%) had forefoot amputations, three (2.4%) had below knee amputation, four (3.3%) had above knee amputation, while two patient (1.7%) died. Factors that are associated with an increased risk of major amputations were poverty, smoking, peripheral arterial disease, IHD, renal failure, peripheral neuropathy, male gender, presence of ulcer with osteomyelitis ,low BMI, low albumin, anemia, raised TWBC, high APTT ,poor glycemic control and previous amputation [ 26 , 27 , 28 ]. Our results did not match these findings, which may necessitate a bigger number of cases and a multicentric study including all risk factors, especially those not assessed in this study. The duration of diabetes, with its neuropathic and retinopathic complications, increases the incidence of ulcers in diabetic patients, which may reach 60% in 3 years and 75% in five years. This increases the risk of amputations fourfold. [ 19 ] However, in our patients, duration of DM didn’t affect the response to treatment (P value = 0.1) or the outcome of treatment (P value = 0.2). Controlling TB and Diabetes will require a joint response to ensure that all patients have access to much-needed care on both fronts [ 29 ]. The cost of diabetes management is high. Therefore, when it is combined with TB, the expenses will be much higher, bearing in mind that TB is the disease of a low socioeconomic population, so greater collaboration within the healthcare systems is crucial, especially in low-income countries. [ 30 ]. Conclusion Our study showed that factors associated with the duration of wound healing were age, gender, residence, BMI, duration of infection, hospital stay, and wound site. For the response to anti-TB drugs, site of the wound, AAFB result, ESR level, and severity of PAD, HbA1c level had a significant impact. For the final treatment outcome, residence, wound site, severity of PAD, and HbA1c level were the factors with significant impact. Further multicentric studies are needed to validate these results and re-evaluate factors that impact the patients’ response and treatment outcome.

The pathophysiological pathway is multi-factorial and is a subject of debate. Defective cell-mediated immunity, neuropathy, hypoperfusion, and hypoxia are the contributing factors to the development of infected ulcers [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR1\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR2\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR3\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR4\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003e]. There are multiple wound classification systems to categorize diabetic ulcers. The University of Texas Classification (UT) and International Consensus on the Diabetic Foot (ICDF) are commonly used and easily applicable. (1,2) Other classification systems include IWGDF (International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot), IDSA (Infectious Diseases Society of America), and PEDIS classification, [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR1\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR4\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003e]. The vascularity assessment of the diabetic patient is a crucial part of their management. Multiple modalities of investigations assess vascularity according to the patient\u0026rsquo;s status. The Ankle Brachial Systolic Index (ABSI) is used to grade the severity of the peripheral arterial disease into five groups (normal 1.4-1, mild disease 0.9\u0026thinsp;\u0026minus;\u0026thinsp;0.8, moderate disease 0.7\u0026thinsp;\u0026minus;\u0026thinsp;0.5, severe disease\u0026thinsp;\u0026lt;\u0026thinsp;0.5).

The surgical treatment ranges from regular dressing, debridement, and minor or major amputations, which occur in around 20% of patients with diabetic ulcers, representing 15% of diabetic patients [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR2\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR3\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR4\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR5\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e5\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR6\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e6\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR7\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e7\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTB diagnosis is by isolation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in culture, AAFB after ZN (Ziehl-Neelsen) staining, or the presence of TB granuloma on histological examination. The clinical presentation is of utmost importance with focal lesions, weight loss, mild fever, and the type of ulcer. Some inflammatory markers, like CRP, ESR, and results of the Mantoux test, are helpful predictors of the presence of TB infection. MRI and CT-guided bone biopsy are additional investigations for complex cases in addition to PCR, Xpert MTB/RIF, and gold interferon, which are more precise tests [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR8\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e8\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR9\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e9\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRecently with the increased incidence of DM and TB many researches are done in the field. Cutaneous tuberculous infection is a rare form of extrapulmonary TB, with an incidence of 1 in 1000 TB cases, the diagnosis depends on clinical suspicion of a non-healing ulcer not responding to regular wound care.

For the final treatment outcome, residence, wound site, severity of PAD, and HbA1c level were the factors with significant impact.
