Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to delineate the epidemiological profile of bone tuberculosis (BT) in Brazil from 2001 to 2017. Methods: Retrospective study with a descriptive and quantitative approach. Data was obtained from the Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN) available for consultation in the database of the Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS). Results: There was reduction in the number of cases of tuberculosis when comparing the whole numbers of 2001 and 2017, and the bone involvement remains prevalent, being the fifth cause of extrapulmonary involvement in Brazil. In most cases, the individuals are male, aged between 20-59 years, living in urban areas, in the Southeast of the country. Conclusion: BT remains an important focus of extrapulmonary involvement in Brazil, and affects mainly the economically active groups.
