Abstract

The research works the subject of tuberculosis in São Paulo from 1900 to 1930 under the hygienism view, wherein the formulating proposals of an ideal society and city were guided by hygienic and sanitation. Before the discovery of the cure of the disease in 1940, the fear of its contamination established a situation of great tension around tuberculosis patient, relegatedto the physical and social segregation. In this sense, the study identifies and discusses the "place" that the TB patient occupied in the city of São Paulo before the opening of the first state sanatorium, opened only in 1924 in the city of São José dos Campos. Within this context, and from the viewpoint of hygienic medicine, which is premised on the maintenance of the health of the city, the research sought to identify the paths taken by paulista hygienism to disease control in the design and looks of the specific locations for permanence of these patients, seen as uncomfortable and embarrassing figure in the urban environment. Internationally, in all countries where the disease increased the number of mortality statistics, the arsenal antituberculosis should be done in three principles: the maintenance of wholesome home, the health education and the construction of sanatoriums. Thus, each city established ad hoc education and prophylactic programs around the disease. The research shows how these three principles were made in São Paulo taking into account the delayed deployment of sanatoriums establishments (AU)
