Thirty one cases of TB were confirmed with predominance of male and with age between 40-50 years. Pulmonary form of the disease occurred in 90% of the patients and extrapulmonary form occurred in 10% of them. The diagnosis was obtained through the Baciloscopi of pulmonary secretion (70.96%) and through pleural and transbronchial biopsy (3.22%). For the cases with diagnosis not very clear with the routine method, the therapeutic test was applied and the diagnosis was confirmed in 22.58%.
