All patients reported the presence of adverse drug reactions, 71.6% of which are minor and 28.3% both major and minor. The global quality of life analysis showed that patients with tuberculosis have a good average (67.3%).CONCLUSIONS:
There is an association between quality of life and adverse drug reaction, educational level, and vulnerability.
