Abstract: The aim of this study was to analyze the spatial distribution of the tuberculosis endemic in Rio de Janeiro State from 2002 to 2011. A retrospective study was conducted in the state of Rio de Janeiro from 2002 to 2011. Spatial analysis techniques were used to describe the distribution of tuberculosis incidence in the state. Multilevel Poisson regression model was used to access the relationship of tuberculosis and the following factors: “sex”, “age-group” and “diagnostic year” (individual-level factors).

“…In the present study, cross-reactivity was observed, as in previous similar studies [10, 26, 46, 47]. In our and in the other similar Brazilian [10] studies the majority of participants were BCG vaccinated and, more important, they live in a city with a high TB incidence rate [48, 49]. Thus, it is possible the OPL patients may have presented TB as undiagnosed co-morbidity or were LTBI, since some of them presented QFT-GIT® positive results.…”

“…The GMI confirmed the spatial dependence of cases of general, pulmonary, childhood, extrapulmonary tuberculosis, and TB-HIV co-infection, corroborating the findings of other studies 29 - 30 . Tuberculosis is a disease strongly associated with the Social Determinants of Health, which include factors such as income, schooling, social class, race/skin-color, housing conditions, work and nutrition.…”

“…In line with the study conducted by Tupasi et al (2000), Lönnroth et al (2010), Austin et al (2016) said that the higher the population of a country or region, the higher the number of TB cases.The population density variable has a positive and significant effect on TB cases in Indonesia. In line with the research of Lönnroth et al (2010), Bhunu et al (2012), Apolinario et al (2017), Rodrigues et al (2017) state that population density and mobility are high so that the risk of transmitting the spread of TB is high.The high population and population density and high social inequality of TB control in big cities have become a global challenge to date. The incidence of TB is closely related to vulnerability to social determinants, such as HIV co-infection, drug use, immigration, unemployment, low education levels, slum quality, and densely populated areas.…”
