Results: of the total 174 studies, 15 were selected, revealing the epidemiological profile of the co-infection in different scenarios: male, economically active age, low education level, brown/black ethnicity, low income, heterosexual, pulmonary clinical form, alcoholism and Directly Observed Therapy.
