Abstract:

Objective: To analyze the trend of tuberculosis (TB) in Brazilian indigenous people2011 to 2017. Methods: This is an ecological study carried out with all new cases of TB in indigenous people reported in the Aggravated Disease Information System during the period 2011 to 2017. Thematic maps were prepared to monitor the spatio-temporal evolution of TB in the indigenous population each year. For the trend study, the Prais-Winsten generalized linear regression model was used. Results: During the study period, 6,520 cases of TB were reported in indigenous people. The overall incidence of TB in Brazilian indigenous people for the period was 109/100,000 inhabitants. In the analysis by region of the country, the highest incidence occurred in the Midwest, North and Southeast regions. In the UF analysis, the highest incidences were found in Mato Grosso, São Paulo, Rondônia, Mato Grosso do Sul, Acre, Maranhão, Pará and Rio de Janeiro. The trend of the disease in the indigenous was stable both in the country and in most of its regions and UF. Conclusion: TB disproportionately affects Brazilian indigenous peoples and the present study, by identifying priority regions and UF, can contribute to the elaboration and strengthening of more specific control actions.
