“…Sã o José do Rio Preto city (population 400 000) is one of the 12 cities with higher coefficients of TB ⁄ HIV cases (CVE 2006) in Sã o Paulo State and occupies the fifth place in AIDS incidence (CVE 2008 Matos et al 2004;Silveira et al 2006). As expected, the positive association between prison record and MT isolation (28.3%) found in this study was greater than that previously published (6.3%) for a TB ⁄ HIV-coinfected population from Rio Grande do Sul, Extreme South of Brazil (Mattos et al 2006 as the incidence index of the prison population in São Paulo State is 17.8 times higher than that of the general population (Nogueira & Abrahã o 2009). In 1996, Brazil took the pioneering decision to provide free HAART to all individuals with AIDS, which greatly contributed to increasing the survival of this population (Arruda et al 2004;Goldberg et al 2005).…”

“…Given the precarious conditions of confinement, the Brazilian prison population is vulnerable to numerous diseases [1], and several studies have sought to identify the main factors associated with diseases that affect this population [2,3,4,5]. However, studies of oral health have been few, and little is known about the oral health status of prisoners in Brazil, although in general, it appears poor [6].…”

“…These differences in incidence rates originate in different causes. As for the inmates, in which was found a relative risk of 25.2 (95%CI 22.3 -28.5) compared to the general population of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, it is known that confinement favors the transmission and maintenance of TB [16][17][18] . Indeed, overcrowding, poor ventilation and poor standards of hygiene and cleanliness put inmates in conditions of high risk for TB.…”
