| Sumario: | Tuberculosis (TB) is a respiratory infection that causes death in developing countries. Diabetes Mellitus (DM) weakens the immune system, making patients more susceptible to TB. This relationship is worrying, especially since both diseases are prevalent and COVID-19 has affected TB detection, increasing mortality, so early detection and treatment are crucial. Objective: To prepare a bibliographic review on the syndemic of diabetes mellitus and tuberculosis in the context of the pandemic. Methodology: 24 articles that included the search criteria in updated databases were reviewed. Results and Discussion: Diabetes mellitus increases the risk of active tuberculosis, drug resistance, treatment failure and recurrent disease, in addition, its poor control produces negative effects on susceptibility and adverse results of tuberculosis. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus among tuberculosis patients ranges from 1.9% to 35%. The relationship between tuberculosis and diabetes mellitus is complex and increases the risk of mortality. The profile of patients with TB and DM is different from that of patients with TB only. Conclusions: Diabetes increases the risk of tuberculosis and drug resistance, and better control of diabetes can reduce these risks. The World Health Organization identifies diabetes as a major and re-emerging risk factor for tuberculosis. |
