The purpose of this study was to identify the profile of pulmonary tuberculosis deaths in a city in the Brazilian Northeast during the period from 2005 to 2014. This is a descriptive, exploratory, documental study with a quantitative approach carried out through the Mortality Information System considering a sample of 37 deaths caused by pulmonary tuberculosis. Data were processed using simple descriptive statistics. Z prevalence of deaths with a mean age of 60 years old was observed, with predominance of the pulmonary form, with no mention of bacteriological or histological confirmation (81.0%), males (65.0%), mixed race/color (67.0%), single (51.0%), and a predominant part had a high school education (32.0%) and were retired (32. 0%). It was also observed that most deaths occurred in hospital (73.0%), with medical assistance before death (76.0%), and the largest portion was assisted by an attending physician (38.0%) and the absolute majority of deaths (94.0%) were not submitted to necropsy. This investigation revealed the profile of a population fatally affected by pulmonary tuberculosis, evidencing important epidemiological aspects to be considered in terms of health service management and organization in order to provide equity in access, social development and intensification of disease control actions.
