Abstract: Introduction: Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus (type-2 DM) is associated with the incidence of respiratory tract infections which is a risk factor for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) exacerbations. Interleukin-8 (IL-8) is one of inflammatory mediators both in COPD exacerbation and pathogenesis of type 2 DM. Method: We conducted literature searched in online database PUBMED and Google Sholar, all study published since 2015 until 2024. Conclusions: IL-8 is a proinflammatory cytokine that has been shown to play a role in COPD because it triggers mucus hypersecretion and bacterial colonization which is risk factor for exacerbation of COPD and causes adipose tissue dysfunction in type 2 diabetes. Keywords: COPD exacerbation; type-2 DM; prevalence; IL-8
