RESUMO

This paper presents an exploratory comparative approach of some dimensions of analysis among the incidence of tuberculosis in Bolivian immigrants of Buenos Aires and São Paulo cities, based on a sociosanitary and regional perspective. In both contexts, tuberculosis is linked to migrant's life styles and precarious working conditions in clandestine textile workshops. In addition, their lack of documentation, their problems to access to public health care and the social suffering they experience, jointly deepen Bolivian immigrants social vulnerability. Infection risks are thus increased.
