Juiz de Fora (JF) had a high prevalence of tuberculosis (TB) in the set of municipalities in the state of Minas Gerais (MG) and Brazil, whose causes are not known. Get to know them and analyze the relationships involving environmental quality of neighborhoods and areas of the municipality of JF (MG), with a higher incidence of pulmonary TB, the public health policy of Primary Care (AB) in controlling the disease, with focus on the profile of Community Health Agents (ACS) and the carriers of the disease, especially those who discontinue treatment constitute the main scope of this thesis. How socioenvironmental context proceeded to the rescue of knowledge about TB, its introduction in Brazil and the historical evolution of the treatment, the current international situation and the recommendations of international organizations especially the World Health Organization (WHO) for countries with a high burden of disease, such as Brasil. The text that results from research on TB in JF uses theoretical sources from different areas of knowledge, empirical research, document and database of the Ministry of Health, in consultation with the reporting forms / TB research model SINANand statistical analyzes of the type control case, calculating the "odds ratio" as a measure of strength of association between the correlated parameters. The results revealed multifactorial causation. The TB concentrates in the neediest regions in that the Environmental Quality Index (IQA) is low revealed by unhealthy housing, lack of sanitation, low education and income. The profile of these ACS integrated into to the healthcare teams at the level the AB confirms frailties in their knowledge, insufficient number for demand and low involvement in disease control. The sociodemographic and clinical epidemiological profile of TB patients related to treatment dropout reveal prevalence of self-administered treatment to the detriment the supervised treatment as determined the National Programme Tuberculosis Control (PNCT) and the predominance of the more socioeconomically disadvantaged groups. It can be concluded that TB disease is in fact associated with poverty and somewhat neglected by the national public policy. Recommendations are done to resolve the causes found, as the need for awareness among the local health authorities and investment in trainings for family healthcare teams, addition to initiatives in health education for the community in general, mainly as to the benefits arising from the early diagnosis and supervised treatment. At the same time is recommended improve infrastructure conditions in the regions where the IQA is low.
