Each variable was analyzed using descriptive statistics and the calculation of health indicators. Results: An increase of 13.7% in the incidence of TB was observed in the municipality, associated with a 51.9% reduction in the mortality rate. There was a predominance of involvement in males (67.3%), young adults (43.7%), browns (79.9%), with low education (59.9%). The cure rate was 72.1% and the abandonment rate was 5.3%. Conclusion: The municipality of Sobral, in the analyzed period, remains with a high coefficient of incidence and mortality.
