    Introduction: Pulmonary tuberculosis is an infectious and contagious disease and a public health problem worldwide. Objective: To systematize scientific articles on the factors that influence treatment compliance in users with tuberculosis. Material and Methods: Observational and retrospective systematic review, the search has been restricted to systematic reviews with full text, published in the last 10 years, selected after being analyzed using the GRADE evaluation and identifying their scientific quality. Results: 40% (4/10) are systematic reviews, 30% (3/10) cohort studies and 30% (3/10) case-control studies. It is observed that when selecting scientific articles it was found that 60% (6/10) of evidence talks about knowledge about the disease, 30% (3/10) talk about family support, 10% (1/10) about work support, 10% (1/10) about directly observed treatment (DOT) and financing; and only 10% (1/10) stated that change of address is a factor that favors non-compliance, as well as being over 65 years of age. All the previously mentioned topics are factors that determine treatment compliance. Conclusions: Knowledge about the disease is the most influential factor in anti-tuberculosis treatment.
