Objective To explore the chest CT features of drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis complicated with diabet-ic patients,in order to improve the understanding of its imaging findings.Methods A retrospective study was performed between 55 cases of drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis with diabetes mellitus(referred to as"concurrent DM group")admitted to Anhui Chest Hospital from June 2022 to May 2023 and 80 cases of drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis with-out diabetes mellitus(referred to as"non-concurrent DM group")who met the inclusion criteria during the same period,and the chest CT features of the two groups were compared and analyzed.Results In the concurrent DM group,the de-tection rates of destroyed lung,lobar and segmental consolidation or caseous pneumonia and tuberculous pleurisy were 32.73%(18/55),36.36%(20/55)and 41.82%(23/55),respectively,and the non-concurrent DM group were 13.75%(11/80),20.00%(16/80)and 23.75%(19/80),respectively.The differences between the two groups were statistically significant(X2=6.959,4.463,4.965,P<0.05).In the concurrent DM group,the detection rates of case of cavities and cavities without wall were 89.09%(49/55),54.82%(108/197),respectively,and the non-concurrent DM group were 67.50%(54/80),44.09%(82/186),respectively.The differences between the two groups were sta-tistically significant(X2=8.401,4.411,P<0.05).Conclusion The chest CT features of drug-resistant pulmonary tu-berculosis with diabetes mellitus has certain characteristics,which are more manifested as destroyed lung,lobar and seg-mental consolidation or caseous pneumonia,and multiple cavities without wall.Effective understanding of the imaging characteristics can provide help for early clinical diagnosis and treatment.
