Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), caused by bacteria of the Mycobacterium group, represents an infectious-contagious disease with high prevalence and risk of morbidity and mortality, particularly in immunocompromised patients. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) stands out as an important comorbidity, especially in those with poor adherence to treatment, increasing the risk of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis by affecting the response to anti-tuberculosis treatment. Studying the frequency and incidence of these cases offers opportunities to improve the selection of therapeutic approaches and the quality of life of patients. The main objective of this project is to analyze the impact of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus on patients of the Tuberculosis Program at the Santa Teresita Basic Hospital in Santa Rosa, El Oro Province, Ecuador, during 2020-2022, using descriptive statistics methods. and inferential to understand the level of involvement and the relationship between Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and tuberculosis. Literature review will be used for a comprehensive analysis of the collected data, focusing on the incidence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in patients of the tuberculosis program of the Santa Teresita Basic Hospital. It is highlighted that Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus can increase the risk of contracting tuberculosis due to the immunosuppression it causes, creating an environment conducive to infection by the bacillus. Additionally, this condition may predispose to increased multidrug resistance, especially with poor glycemic control.
