Abstract	The identification of the latent tuberous infection (ITL) is relevant in some social groups as drug users. We did this study to analyze the continuation of the ITL in patients that are hospitalized in the Toxicodependency attention area of HUC and evaluate the profitability of implanting an organigram to prevent the ITL in the Toxicodependency attention area. Material and methods: All patients hospitalized in the Toxicodependency attention area were analyzed during one year (from 1/5/18 to 30/4/19), divided into two periods, before the implementation of the organigram the 1/11/18 and after it. Results: 36 patients of 44 years old (average) were analyzed. The most common cause of hospitalization in the Toxicodependency attention area was alcohol, and cocaine. 20% of them have consumed drugs by injection. 23,9% of them had positive Mantoux. The percentage of the Mantoux test was less in the second period, after having implanted the organigram. Tuberous conversion was confirmed in 17 patients (18'8%) without active TBC. After the implementation of the organigram the cost of the early diagnosis of ITL decreased. Conclusions: the Toxicodependency attention area can detect ITL and TBC in people with high risk of having it. The normalization of the clinic practice allows us to be more eficient in the assistance activity.
