to describe socio-demographic and clinical characteristics and indicators of tuberculosis (TB) in Brazilian imprisoned population, from 2007 to 2013.
descriptive study with data from the Information System for Notifiable Diseases (Sinan).
from 2007 to 2013, 38,083 TB cases were reported in the imprisoned population, equivalent to a TB prevalence of 1,236 cases/100,000 individuals; this prevalence was higher among women (1,693/100,000), indigenous people (2,874/100,000), and in the age group >60 years (4,093/100,000); there were mainly reports of cases of pulmonary TB (91.5%) and new cases (78.1%); the TB incidence rate in 2013 (904.9/100,000) was higher than 2007 (627.6/100,000), whilst the mortality rate in 2013 (16.0/100,000) was lower than 2007 (18.0/100,000).
TB in the imprisoned population presents some specific characteristics and higher occurrence than in the general population; the highest prevalence in women and the highest incidence at the end of the study period stood out.
