SUMMARY:

In Brazil, the indigenous population is classified as traditional peoples, and the risk of contracting tuberculosis (TB) is higher in more groups that are vulnerable. Tuberculosis is a characteristic of these native peoples, and it remains a public health challenge, despite being curable and treatable exclusively through the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS). The objective of this study was to compare the profile of tuberculosis cases between indigenous and non-indigenous people in Porto Velho/RO, from 2016 to 2025. This is an observational, analytical, cross-sectional epidemiological study, conducted using sociodemographic, clinical, and treatment variables from the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN). Individuals will be classified according to ethnicity (indigenous and non-indigenous), and comparative analyses will be performed between the groups. Association tests (chi-square and Fisher's exact test) will be applied, adopting a significance level of 5%. The data will be stored in Excel and analyzed using descriptive statistics in Statistica software, version 13.5.0.17. The findings highlight the need to strengthen health surveillance actions, focusing on identifying the underlying causes of inequalities between indigenous and non-indigenous populations, thus supporting the formulation of equitable public policies within the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS).
