Tuberculosis is the second leading cause of death from infectious diseases in the world. The specific targets set in the End TB Strategy are to reduce mortality by 95% and incidence by 90% by 2035 compared to 2015. The objectives of this study were to characterise the event and identify the diagnostic tools used. This study is a descriptive analysis of surveillance using case definitions from the bacteriologically and clinically confirmed case protocol. For confirmation, smear microscopy, culture, GeneXpert and pathology were used. A treatment and follow-up book and data from the Management Information System (SIGSA 18 and SIGSA WEB) were reviewed, and Excel was used to calculate cumulative incidence per 100,000 population (using the population at risk by the programme) and measures of central tendency and dispersion.
