ADR: adverse drug reaction; TB: tuberculosis; DM: diabetes mellitus; values in parenthesis are expressed in percentage; values were compared by using chi square test. p ≤ 0.05 was considered as significant. Statistical calculation was performed by using chi square test between the two groups. ∗∗∗ p < 0.001.
