“…The precariousness of the data system suggests that the situation with respect to tuberculosis may be even worse than that which has been registered in this study, particularly because 17 of the Sanitary Districts did not notify this disorder during the period under study. 4,6 The situation with respect to malaria is also a cause of concern. The World Health Organization considers that populations with IPAs greater than 50/1,000 are under high risk for malaria and that IPAs varying from 10-49/1,000 express a medium risk for this disease.…”

Distribuição espacial de tuberculose nas populações indígenas e não indígenas do estado doCenters in Pará. The tuberculosis incidence rates were calculated for indigenous and non-indigenous populations in the 13 regions and maps were prepared to visualize the magnitude of the occurrence of tuberculosis. Results: Significant differences in the incidence of tuberculosis were found among non-indigenous and indigenous populations, reaching 7,812/100,000 inhabitants and 118/100,000 inhabitants respectively. Conclusion: Tuberculosis was distributed heterogeneously among the indigenous and non-indigenous populations. Moreover, it was possible to identify areas with high risk for this disease. It is important to note that knowledge about priority areas for tuberculosis control can help health service management to improve indicators that assess this disease and to develop different policies for indigenous peoples.Keywords: Tuberculosis; Indigenous Population; Spatial Analysis. Método: Estudio ecológico partir de datos del SINAN, estratificado para los 13 Centros Regionales de Salud existentes en Pará.Se calcularon las tasas de incidencia de tuberculosis en indígenas y no indígenas en las 13 regiones, y se confeccionaron los mapas para visualizar la magnitud de la incidencia de la tuberculosis. Resultados: Se encontró diferencias significativas en la incidencia de la tuberculosis entre la población no indígena y indígena, llegando a 7.812/100 mil habitantes y 118/100 mil habitantes. Conclusión: Se observó que la tuberculosis presenta una distribución heterogénea entre la población indígena y no indígena, y se pudo identificar las zonas con alto riesgo de la enfermedad. Es importante tener en cuenta que el conocimiento de las áreas prioritarias para el control de la tuberculosis puede ayudar a la gestión de los servicios de salud, para mejorar los índices que evalúan la enfermedad y desarrollar diferentes políticas para los pueblos indígenas.

“…Recent studies show that the incidence and case fatality rates for tuberculosis in the Brazilian Amazon may be over ten times higher among Indians than those observed among non-Indians living in the same region (Sousa et al 1997, Escobar et al 2001, Garnelo et al 2003, Basta et al 2004.…”
