Objective: Correlate the cases of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and its spatial patterns with
the type of notification and sociodemographic variables. Method: Ecological study carried
out in the municipality of Bel?m, with 77 cases of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis registered
in the Special Treatment Information System for Tuberculosis, between 2012 and 2016. For
analysis, the data was debugged followed by geo-referencing in ArcGis 10.3 and Terra View
4.2.2. To relate the cases with the type of notification, the BioEstat 5.4 software was used,
with a significance level of 95%. Results: Of the total, 40 (52%) were new cases; 27 (35%),
relapses; and ten (13%) were re-enrolled after leaving. Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis was
randomly distributed and related to income, household, territorial cluster and water supply.
There was a concentration of cases in two administrative districts, corresponding to 28.5%
and 27.3% of the total, with a median Sociodemographic Index. Conclusion: Behavior of
