Diabetes tends to reduce immunity ,thus the Anti-Tubercular Therapy(ATT)may not be as effective as it is in a younger and nondiabetic patient and may need more time.Ruling out urinary tract infection and other systemic infections, or Typhoid fever may be required.Other investigations as suggested by a physical examination by his doctor will help pinpoint the cause.A review of ATT may be required.
