ABSTRACT
Pulmonary tuberculosis is a global health problem, especially in the Asian continent; in America, Mexico is one of the countries with the highest prevalence; the state of Veracruz, according to statistics published in 2017, is the state of the republic with the highest number of new cases of pulmonary tuberculosis per year and the second state with the highest number of deaths due to pulmonary tuberculosis per year; it is evident that these estimates ensure the need to carry out epidemiological studies to determine the sociodemographic and health factors that could determine the high prevalence;in the same way, it is necessary to take into account this information for the realization of awareness campaigns and the development of preventive models that reduce the prevalence of pulmonary tuberculosis in the state of Veracruz.
