In this bias, the objective was to present the epidemiological scenario of TB in the state of Piauí and the municipality of Socorro do Piauí, between the years 2001 to 2021, based on the notification data provided by Sinan net. The methodology adopted was a retrospective study of a quantitative and descriptive nature, whose data were collected and analyzed using SINAN, available on the Indicators/TABNET platform of the Ministry of Health of Piauí (SESAPI). The variables evaluated were prevalence, gender and age. Based on the main results, male involvement was observed both in the state of Piauí and in the municipality of Socorro do Piauí. In the state of Piauí, there was a prevalence in the 20-39 age group, with 7,150 registered cases, followed by the 40-59 age group, with 6,999.
