Abstract
The Brazilian emergency system is being reorganized as a hierarchy in the region of Ribeirão Preto, state of São Paulo. We found increased occupational risk for tuberculosis in this region tertiary reference center--a nurse technician (Incidence rate [IR] 526.3/100,000 inhabitants) had a risk of tuberculosis 12.6 (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.57-37.23) greater than the city population (41.8/100,000 inhabitants). The system reorganization will have to make the centers adequate to deal with this problem.Entities:
