Abstract

Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease. In Brazil, it is a serious public health problem, especially affecting vulnerable populations. Objective: To characterize the epidemiological profile of tuberculosis in the State of Piauí, between 2017 and 2021. Methodology: This is an epidemiological, descriptive and quantitative study, which analyzed the notified cases of tuberculosis in the State of Piauí, from 2017 to 2021. Data collection took place on the website of the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System - DATASUS. The collected data were attached in the Microsoft Excel 2019 program. As this is a study with secondary data, it was not necessary to submit it to the Research Ethics Committee. Results: During the analyzed period, 3,931 cases of tuberculosis were reported in the State of Piauí. The years 2018 and 2019 showed the highest prevalence of cases of the disease. Males were the most affected, representing 64.91% of cases in all years. 1,393 of the individuals diagnosed with tuberculosis had incomplete primary education. Conclusion: Early detection of tuberculosis is essential to offer preventive treatment, and strategies must be implemented to guide and encourage the search for health services at an early stage.
