Tuberculosis remains a major public health problem deeply influenced by inequality. The present study used data from the Brazilian Tuberculosis Case Registry Database in order to compare the rates of tuberculosis treatment success, loss to follow-up, and tuberculosis mortality between the homeless population and the general population of Brazil. The likelihood of tuberculosis treatment success was reduced by approximately 50% in the homeless population. In addition, the rate of loss to follow-up was 2.9 times higher in the homeless population than in the general population, and the rate of tuberculosis mortality was 2.5 times higher in the former.
