ABSTRACT:
Introduction: Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which mainly affects the lungs. However, it can present itself in other forms and attack different organs and systems, which can be evidenced in the manifestations of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, for example. Thus, the indigenous population presents risks related to tuberculosis, given that they are individuals who lack access to health services and may have greater immunological vulnerability. Therefore, in this aspect, the incidence of tuberculosis becomes significantly higher compared to the general population. Objective: To highlight the risk factors that expose the indigenous population to a higher incidence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections.
