Abstract excerpt
Tuberculosis (TB) and diabetes mellitus (DM) represent a growing dual global health burden, with chronic hyperglycaemia recognized as a major modifier of host immunity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Macrophages, central to pathogen recognition, phagocytosis, antigen presentation, and intracellular killing, may be particularly vulnerable to diabetic metabolic dysregulation. This study evaluated...
