Kepatuhan pengobatan merupakan aspek penting dalam pengobatan TB dan berdampak positif terhadap keberhasilan pengobatan. Pengetahuan adalah faktor predisposisi yang dapat merubah perilaku individu. Semakin tinggi pengetahuan pasien akan berdampak baik terhadap kepatuhan.  Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran tingkat pengetahuan pasien TB yang berobat di Puskesmas Kota Bengkulu. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode crosssectional. Jumlah sampel sebanyak 36 responden yang berobat di Puskesmas Padang Serai, Puskesmas Betungan dan Puskesmas Telaga Dewa. Tingkat pengetahuan di nilai dengan menggunakan jawaban dari kuesioner pengetahuan. Hasil univariat menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar responden berusia 18-35 tahun (47,22%), sebagian responden berjenis kelamin laki-laki (52,78%), mayoritas responden merupakan lulusan SMA (63,89%). Hasil pengetahuan pasien TB menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar pasien TB memiliki pengetahuan yang sedang (50%).Pengetahun pasien TB di puskesmas Kota Bengkulu termasuk dalam kategori sedang. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan upaya peningkatan pengetahuan melalui program kesehatan.
