INTRODUCTION. Tuberculosis is the ninth leading cause of death worldwide and the leading cause of death from an infectious agent. The pulmonary location is frequent, has nonspecific symptoms and a tendency to chronicity. OBJECTIVE. To assess the quality of life in a cohort of patients with a diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Observational, analytical case-control study. Population and known sample of 129 data from Medical Records, 43 cases and 86 healthy controls, in 15 Health Centers in Quito, from may to june 2015. Inclusion criteria (cases): older than 18 years, diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis under treatment; (controls): not having a diagnosis of pulmonary or extrapulmonary tuberculosis or chronic pathologies. The data were taken from the Medical Records, a personalized survey and the Short Form-36 version 2 quality of life questionnaire were applied. A univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis was performed. For data analysis, the statistical program International Business Machines Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 23 was used. RESULTS. The cases had low quality of life scores compared to the controls (MD=34,11 CI 29,7-38,4). The dimension most affected was physical function (MD=46,5 CI 39,2-53,8) and the least affected was body pain (MD=24,1 CI 16,9-31,4). DISCUSSION. Similar results were found in other countries with a high prevalence of pulmonary tuberculosis that affected the quality of life of patients. CONCLUSION. Pulmonary tuberculosis was a determining factor in the deterioration of quality of life.
