    Background: Migrants are a high priority group for tuberculosis control measures due to their high exposure to risk factors such as poverty and social vulnerability. Objectives: Understanding the TB illness process in international migrants, refugees and asylum seekers from the perspective of critical epidemiology; to identify barriers and facilitators for combating tuberculosis in international migrants, refugees and asylum seekers; identify factors associated with latent tuberculosis among international migrants living in four Brazilian state capitals and analyze a Local Action Plan to promote access to the health system of indigenous Venezuelans from the Warao ethnic group in Manaus, Brazil. Methods: In the review, 10 studies were included and two empirical categories emerged: barriers (11) and facilitators (10). (2) cross-sectional study, carried out in September and October 2020, with 903 international migrants, residing in four Brazilian capitals: Boa Vista / RR (458), Manaus / AM (136), São Paulo / SP (257), and Curitiba / PR (52). Data were collected with a questionnaire consisting of open and closed questions on personal characteristics, information on tuberculosis, and use of preventive measures. Tuberculin skin test was performed, with reading after 72 h by trained nurses and using 5 mm induration as the positive cutoff. Chi-square test (X2) and Fisher's exact test, both two-tailed, were used to compare statistically significant levels of association between the migrants´ sociodemographic characteristics, vulnerability, and latent tuberculosis infection. Binary logistic regression was applied to calculate odds ratios and respective 95% confidence intervals. For all the tests, type I error of 5% was defined as statistically significant (p < 0.05). (3) a mixed methods study, with quantitative data and a selfcompleted questionnaire by health professionals; and qualitative with an interview script with the Warao sheltered in Manaus. Descriptive statistics, cluster analysis (GA) by hierarchical levels and multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) were applied. Content analysis was applied to qualitative data. Results: In the review, 10 studies were included and two empirical categories emerged: barriers (11) and facilitators (10). In article 2, the prevalence of latent tuberculosis among migrants was 46.1% in Manaus/AM, 33.3% in São Paulo/SP, 28.1% in Curitiba/PR, and 23.5% in Boa Vista/RR. Factors associated with latent infection were age, male gender, and brown or indigenous race. In article 3, 106 healthcare providers participated in the study, with the following characteristics: 94 (88.7%) females, 67 (63.2%) pardo race/color, 40 (37.7%) working in primary healthcare, and 49 (46.2%) nurses. In addition, 43 (40.6%) of the healthcare providers reported providing care to warao. Among the providers, 89 (84%) had received training for assisting warao. Additionally, 30 warao were enrolled for interviews in the qualitative phase. The barriers to seeking care were language, distance to health units, and lack of money for transportation. Conclusion: The study showed that there are several barriers and facilitators for coping with tuberculosis, high prevalence of tuberculosis infection among international migrants. The local care plan has proven to facilitate access to the health system for indigenous Venezuelans of the Warao ethnic group in Manaus and improve access to the health system.
