Objective: to describe the actions to detect tuberculosis (TB) cases carried out by Primary Health Care in the municipalities of Uruguaiana, Pelotas and Santa Maria, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Method: cross-sectional, quantitative, carried out with 385 health professionals, using a self-administered structured questionnaire on the organization and planning of actions to detect respiratory symptomatics. Results: it was identified that, in Uruguaiana, about a quarter of professionals report that their unit planned TB detection actions, while the proportion in the other municipalities did not reach one tenth of professionals. It was observed that the search for cases in the community, as well as the guidance of CHAs on signs and symptoms of TB was considered practically non-existent in Santa Maria. Conclusion: although the municipalities studied are priorities for TB control, health unit professionals are not encouraged to maintain a differentiated look at this problem in their territory.
