“…However, such evidences are not consistent with other researches, because the disease in other regions have presented a heterogeneous spatial pattern [1,2,6]. The neighborhoods where there are the highest concentration of cases (João Cabral, Franciscano, São Miguel, Santa Teresa, Salesianos, Centro, Romeirão and Pirajá) are regions of high population flow, where there is a public market in the city and various trades.…”

“…Despite it is a curable disease with a free treatment, it is estimated that one third of the world's population is infected and about one million people die every year [1,2] In some countries of Western Europe and North America, this disease behaves as recidivist pathology, while in Brazil it has been characterized as a stigmatized illness with great vulnerability [3].…”

Background: For the control of tuberculosis (TB), it must be adopted specific measures in areas of high transmission. Thus, it was aimed to identify the spatial pattern of new tuberculosis cases in Juazeiro do Norte-CE/Brazil, from 2001 to 2012. Methods and Findings:It is a hybrid design, ecological study and temporal trend. The new cases reported with TB were included as subjects of research. It was outlined the socio demographic profile; the spatial analysis of cases was made through the Kernel technique and the nearest neighbor method with simulation. Among 914 new TB cases, there was a predominance of males (56.0%), aged between 20 to 39 years (42.0%), with incomplete elementary school (43.2%), pulmonary clinical form (89.1%). 79.1% of patients achieved a cure and 5.3% abandoned the treatment. In the studied period, it was identified homogeneous spatial distribution and non-random pattern, with the highest concentration of cases in the southern region of the city. Conclusion:The identification of spatial pattern becomes relevant, in order that it can contribute to the strengthening of the TB control by providing information that optimizes activities such as: active search, health education, notification of new cases and supervising the treatment performed by health professionals.

Objective: This work aims to identify the profile of morbidity due to TB in prisons among the regions of Brazil, from 2003 to 2012.Methods: This is an epidemiological and retrospective study in which the data were obtained through the virtual query to the database of the Notification Diseases Information System, through DATASUS portal and were tabulated and analyzed according to descriptive statistics. The numbers of cases of TB were organized respecting the years that make up the study and the region.Results: During the survey period there were reported 30,662 cases of TB in Brazilian prisons. The profile of TB in Brazilian prisons is made up of men, brown, allocated in the Southeast, with the pulmonary form of the disease, who are not HIV positive and who perform supervised treatment. It was also found that less than half of the cases had the cure varies as the situation of closure.

“…This situation can be explained by the growing number of elderly in the country, generated by the increasing life expectancy, which would lead to the development of the disease due to immunological deficiencies caused by aging. Additional factors, such as the difficulty to access health services, confinement in care homes, and delay to look for a doctor for confusing the symptoms of this disease with those of others must also be considered 19 .…”

ABSTRACT:Objective: to analyze the spatial distribution of tuberculosis in Crato, Ceará, Brazil, from 2002 to 2011, aiming to check for a point pattern. Methods: This is an ecological, temporal trend and hybrid design study, with a quantitative approach. A total of 261 cases of tuberculosis were geo-referenced and 20 (7.1%) were considered as losses due to the lack of address. The profile of patients in 10 years of study was in accordance with the following pattern: men aged between 20 and 59 years, with low schooling, affected by the pulmonary form of tuberculosis and who were cured from the disease. Results: The analysis of the spatial distribution of tuberculosis points out that in the period of study, new cases of the disease were not distributed on a regular basis, indicating a clustered spatial pattern, confirmed by the L-function. The map with the density of new cases estimated by the Kernel method showed that the "hot" areas are more concentrated in the vicinity of the central urban area. Conclusion: The study allowed pointing out areas of higher and lower concentration of tuberculosis, identifying the spatial pattern, but it also recognized that the disease has not reached all of the population groups with the same intensity. Those who were most vulnerable were the ones who lived in regions with higher population densities, precarious living conditions, and with intense flow of people.
