ABSTRACT
A descriptive and cross-sectional study to characterize the population of patients with tuberculosis in Santiago de Cuba municipality, was carried out during 2008-2010 and 2014-2016, as well as the graphic analysis of the disease tendency. The population was formed by 101 new cases with confirmed diagnosis. The incidence rates and the rates percentage difference were calculated. Higher percentages of affected patients in the young and intermediate ages of life were considered (25-34 and 35-44 years) with 21.8 and 22.8% in the first triennium, as well as 20.7 and 18.2% in the second, respectively; although in both periods, the highest risks moved toward the most aged. In both trienniums the male sex prevailed (79.2 and 77.9%, respectively), as well as the risks of getting sick were higher in the first one with 11.3 cases every 100 thousand inhabitants of this sex. The disease tendency showed a progressive decrease of the patients, although in a slow and irregular way.
