We investigated the link between LTBI and DM in people living with HIV (PHIV) in the Swiss HIV Cohort Study via time-dependent cox proportional hazards models. We found that LTBI significantly increased the risk of developing DM (HR=1.47), which was robust across different adjustment and censoring techniques. Our results thus suggest that LTBI may be associated with an increased risk of developing DM.enHeterologous immunity Inflammatory diseases Innate immunity Latent Tuberculosis Low-grade inflammation Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus600 - Technology::610 - Medicine & healtharticle10.48350/1657833517233210.1093/infdis/jiac054
