REPORT-BRAZIL

The Regional Prospective Observational Research in Tuberculosis (RePORT)-Brazil network was established in August, 2013 with funding from the Departamento de Ciência e Tecnologia (DECIT) - Secretaria de Ciência e Tecnologia (SCTIE) of the Ministry of Health of Brazil, and the National Institutes of Health of the United States... RePORT Brazil is a joint venture among the Departamento de Ciência e Tecnologia/Ministério da Saude (DECIT), the U.S. Office of AIDS Research and NIAID, co-funding a team of Brazil- and U.S.-based investigators to enroll people with active and latent TB in Brazil. Three sites in Rio de Janeiro, one in Manaus, and one in Salvador were selected to enroll up to 1,200 active TB cases and 2,700 close contacts of those TB cases (RePORT-Brazil phase 1). During phase 2 of enrollment (from 2022 to 2027), our plan is to enroll 1,000 new TB cases and 2,000 close contacts.
