“…It was observed the predominance of males, in people in economically active age range, with less than eight years of education. These findings are in acordance with other studies carried out in other Brazilian scenarios 8 - 9 . Similarly, the study is consistent with the literature regarding the predominant clinical form of the disease, in which pulmonary TB was the most prevalent 2 , 7 - 8 .…”

Objective:to describe the epidemiological clinical profile of tuberculosis and analyze the spatial distribution of cases in a municipality in the state of São Paulo. Method:descriptive and ecological study of cases of tuberculosis through the records in an information system. Descriptive statistics were used to calculate central tendency (mean) and chi-square test, with Yates correction or Fisher exact test, when necessary. The Kernel technique was also used to calculate the occurrence densities of tuberculosis cases, using a radius of 1000 meters. Type I error was set at 5%. Results:299 cases of tuberculosis were identified, with 290 (96.98%) being geocoded. The majority of these were male (n = 212; 70.91%), median age 40 years, and the pulmonary clinical form was predominant (n = 244, 81.60%). The distribution occurred in a non-random manner, observing important areas of the municipality with a higher density of cases of the disease. Conclusion:the study evidenced an epidemiological profile of tuberculosis cases similar to those in the literature; however, their distribution does not occur in a random manner, pointing to specific population groups that require greater management and planning of health services for the control of tuberculosis.

“…This fact makes the system unreliable and does not fulfill its purpose, which is to give tools to the health teams in the provision and organization of health services. One study emphasized that surveillance strategies used to control TB should include reliable information systems and efficient methods for locating bacilliferous cases 9 .…”

“…Estudos no município, realizados em 2012 e 2018, demonstraram alta incidência de tuberculose e hepatite C na mesma região, demonstrando que o fator socioeconômico é um agravante para a transmissão de doenças infectocontagiosas nessa região. 20,21 Um estudo realizado em Belém/PA corrobora os dados do presente estudo, que evidenciou que indivíduos com renda mensal menor ou igual a 2 SMs, moradores de rua, com dependência química, precárias condições de moradia, má alimentação, baixa renda, falta de saneamento básico e baixo nível de escolaridade constituem elementos determinantes relacionados ao aumento da incidência de HIV/aids nas comunidades. 22 A variação da incidência, entre os dois períodos analisados (3,4/100 mil vs. 59,4/ 100 mil), pode estar relacionada com a atualização do PCDT, além da inclusão do HIV na relação de agravos de notificação compulsória, em 6 de julho de 2014 (Portaria MS nº 1.271).…”

Resumo Objetivo: descrever a distribuição espacial, a situação do tratamento e as características dos casos de pessoas infectadas pelo vírus da imunodeficiência humana (HIV), em Santa Cruz do Sul/RS, de 2001 a 2020. Métodos: estudo descritivo com dados de indivíduos em tratamento para HIV/aids, em Santa Cruz do Sul, diagnosticados no período de janeiro de 2001 a outubro de 2020. Resultados: foram analisados 708 (94,4%) casos, dos quais 58,2% eram do sexo masculino, com idade média de 39 anos. A taxa de incidência máxima foi registrada em 2019 (59,4/100 mil habitantes), e observou-se frequência elevada de casos nas regiões sul e central do município; 92,9% dos indivíduos continuavam em tratamento ativo, e a taxa de abandono alcançou 7,1% no período. Conclusão: observou-se uma maior incidência de HIV entre adultos do sexo masculino, das regiões central e sul da cidade, com uma taxa de tratamento próxima às metas da Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) e baixa taxa de abandono.

Introduction:The objective was to identify space and space-time risk clusters for the occurrence of deaths in a priority city for the control of tuberculosis (TB) in the Brazilian Northeast. Methods: Ecological research was undertaken in the City of São Luis/ Maranhão. Cases were considered that resulted in deaths in the population living in the urban region of the city with pulmonary TB as the basic cause, between 2008 and 2012. To detect space and space-time clusters of deaths due to pulmonary TB in the census sectors, the spatial analysis scan technique was used. Results: In total, 221 deaths by TB occurred, 193 of which were due to pulmonary TB. Approximately 95% of the cases (n=183) were geocoded. Two signifi cant spatial clusters were identifi ed, the fi rst of which showed a mortality rate of 5.8 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants per year and a high relative risk of 3.87. The second spatial cluster showed a mortality rate of 0.4 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants per year and a low relative risk of 0.10. A signifi cant cluster was observed in the space-time analysis between 11/01/2008 and 04/30/2011, with a mortality rate of 8.10 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants per year and a high relative risk (3.0). Conclusions: The knowledge of priority sites for the occurrence of deaths can support public management to reduce inequities in the access to health services and permit an optimization of the resources and teams in the control of pulmonary TB, providing support for specifi c strategies focused on the most vulnerable populations.Keywords: Pulmonary tuberculosis. Spatio-temporal and spatial analysis. Death.Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the main causes of death among infectious contagious diseases and occurs mainly in developing countries (1) . In 2012, 1.3 million people died of TB worldwide. Brazil ranked 16 th in the number of cases and 109 th in terms of incidence rate(1) , with 36.1 cases per 100,000 inhabitants and a mortality rate of 2.4 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants (2) .It is notable that among the clinical forms of the disease, pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) is on the list of avoidable causes of death because if the local health services established appropriate health promotion, protection and recovery actions for patients and their families, deaths from TB would be less common (3) .Considered a social disease (4) , TB should be studied from a microregional, local and focal viewpoint, according to the spatial distribution (5) . Therefore, a geo-epidemiological approach to the disease, using geoprocessing techniques, has been adopted in the international sphere (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) (11) (12) (13) (14) (15) (16) (17) . Nevertheless, the introduction of this technology to support the action planning and decision making of health managers and workers is still restricted (18) .In Brazil, a series of studies was undertaken that considered the incidence of the disease and undoubtedly contributed to a better understanding of its dynamics in distinct territories (19) (20) (21) (22) (23) (24) (25) (26) (27) (28) ...
