Summary

Introduction

The tuberculosis and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) spatial analysis, based on Morbidity and Mortality date, Contributes to the knowledge of socio-environmental risks and the identification of the most vulnerable areas.Purpose: Identify the spatial distribution tuberculosis and VERIFY Conglomerates of the existence of tuberculosis and tuberculosis/HIV coinfection cases. Morbidity due to tuberculosis (TB) in developed countries has intensified and expanded in the Asian and American continents under the influence of Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), the bacillus drug resistance, social and economic inequality of patients under funding of health services [1], being a current public health problem resulting from a dynamic process of individual and collective factors related to the conditions of life and access to services saúde [2,3]. Tuberculosis is considered a priority public health problem, with an annual average of 73,000 new cases per year in Brazil between 2005 and 2014. Ceará is the third state in the Northeast region in number of priority municipalities for tuberculosis control in Brazil [6]. The areas of highest number of cases are in urban areas, pockets of low socioeconomic conditions, and/or municipalities with low human development index (HDI) [7]
