Results: 726 publications were identified, and after the application of the previously established criteria, 10 articles were considered eligible, carried out exclusively in Brazil, between 2004 and 2019, with a higher incidence in children under 5 years old, a predominance of the male gender, clinical pulmonary form, being the chest radiography the clinical variable most explored in the studies, the low performance of the tuberculin skin test and nutritional assessment, in addition to a high cure rate. Conclusion: Diagnostic difficulties are evident, including the low exam performance, failure to systematize the search for clinical findings, absence of nutritional assessment, and investigation of contacts.
