Realizou-se busca ativa e passiva para estimar a magnitude da TB entre uma população de 764 detentos. Simultaneamente às estratégias de detecção e ao seguimento clínico dos 41 casos confirmados, realizou-se observação participante e registros em diário de campo, o que possibilitou analisar potenciais e limitações das ações de detecção e tratamento da TB prisional.

The functional dynamics of penal institutions difficult the integration of health routines, and may limit the actions to control TB and other diseases (20) . Scarce and inefficient health services are a source of great dissatisfaction among the prisoners (21) .…”
