Objective: to estimate the number of RS in the Administrative Regions of Itapoã, Vila Estrutural and Varjão, aiming to identify foci of TB in these communities. Methodology: descriptive, cross-sectional, for convenience study, by cluster sampling, 210 families settled in each of the three administrative regions.
