“…The use of tobacco and illegal drugs was prevalent among PDL diagnosed with TB, and an ascending trend was veri ed for alcohol, tobacco, and illegal drugs in prison facilities. The highest RR was found in the prisons located in the east macro-region (metropolitan region of Curitiba), showing that prisons contribute to TB burden and are an environment that favors the disease, considering a large number of alcohol consumers and drug users [5,7,9,19,20]. However, a high number of TB cases is observed among PDL, mainly pulmonary TB, which is of concern considering that the bacillus is airborne and the prisons' conditions such as overcrowding and poor ventilation favor the dissemination of TB [23].…”
