TLDR
The prevalence of patients with severe vitamin D deficiency is higher in patients with dual affection of TB and diabetes mellitus as compared with either disorder alone implying that patients with type 2 diabetes with the most severe vitaminD deficiency are the one of the most predisposed to pulmonary TB.
Abstract
Introduction: Vitamin D deficiency is expected to be higher in patients with diabetes and pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). Studies estimating prevalence in the subset of patients with both diabetes and pulmonary TB are scarce. Materials and Methods: A total of 155 subjects were recruited; 46 patients with type 2 diabetes, 39 non-diabetic healthy controls, 30 patients of pulmonary TB and 40 patients with both pulmonary TB and type 2 diabetes. Vitamin D level (25 OH vitamin D) levels were done for all the 4 groups. Results: Mean vitamin D levels were not different between groups with TB, diabetes mellitus or combination of both, but the prevalence of severe vitamin D deficiency was higher in the group with both diabetes and TB (45%) as compared with the group with only TB (26.66%) and diabetes (17.39%) and healthy controls (7.69%). Conclusion: The prevalence of patients with severe vitamin D deficiency is higher in patients with dual affection of TB and diabetes mellitus as compared with either disorder alone implying that patients with type 2 diabetes with the most severe vitamin D deficiency are the one of the most predisposed to pulmonary TB.

Vitamin D deficiency and the risk of tuberculosis: a meta-analysis.

TL;DR: The authors' analyses revealed an association between vitamin D and TB that VDD is more likely a risk factor for TB than its consequence, and the result that anti-TB treatment did not affect vitamin D level in TB patients receiving the treatment was strengthened.

TL;DR: Empirical analyses have elucidated an association between DM and the development of TB, and suggest that vaccination against tuberculosis is a viable treatment option for DM-related TB.

TL;DR: DM was associated with an increased risk of TB regardless of study design and population and efforts to diagnose, detect, and treat DM may have a beneficial impact on TB control.

TL;DR: A high prevalence of physiologically significant hypovitaminosis D among pregnant women and their newborns is observed, the magnitude of which warrants public health intervention.

A single dose of vitamin D enhances immunity to mycobacteria.

TL;DR: Vitamin D supplementation significantly enhanced the ability of participants' whole blood to restrict BCG-lux luminescence in vitro without affecting antigen-stimulated IFN-gamma responses, and should be performed to determine whether vitamin D supplementation prevents reactivation of latent TB infection.

High prevalence of low dietary calcium, high phytate consumption, and vitamin D deficiency in healthy south Indians

TL;DR: Low dietary calcium intake and 25(OH)D concentrations were associated with deleterious effects on bone mineral homeostasis and Prospective longitudinal studies are required to assess the effect on bone Mineral density, a surrogate marker for fracture risk and fracture rates.

TL;DR: The findings show that vitamin D deficiency is common in urban north Indian hospital staff, and the possible reasons include inadequate sunlight exposure and skin pigmentation in Indians.
