Objective: to evaluate the care organization of tuberculosis (TB) in primary care in Rio Grande do Norte. Method: descriptive study, cross-sectional cut of a multicenter project, based on the External Evaluation component of secondary data available in PMAQ-AB bank, for the first evaluation cycle conducted in 2012.

Results: although 27.7% of health services have not care protocols, 97.3% and 95.6% of the teams requesting smear and chest X-ray, respectively; 63.1% of the teams accompany the directly observed treatment (TDO), but only 57.3% conducts an active search for missing patients to this treatment modality.
