Abstract
The resurgence of tuberculosis and the appearance of multidrug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis are due to several different factors. Principal among these is the worldwide prevalence of autoimmune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), coupled with misdirected therapeutic practices and patient non-compliance, the latter being derived from the undesirable side effects of anti-tuberculosis drugs. Aside from AIDS, other diseases or immunosuppressive disorders have been associated with this new phase of tuberculosis infection. Metabolic disorders such as diabetes, which is closely associated with obesity, are among the most important immunosuppressive diseases. Diabetes is a major public health problem in Mexico, a country that leads the world in the incidence of childhood obesity.The aim of this study is to analyse the different factors involved in this phenomenon and to give a clear, comprehensive picture of the problem of tuberculosis resurgence and its correlation with diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
