Objective: to analyze the nurses’ discourses about the actions and strategies of care for the elderly with tuberculosis in primary health care services. Method: exploratory study, with qualitative approach, developed in the municipality of João Pessoa, Paraíba. Nurses working in Primary Health Care and who assisted elderly people diagnosed with tuberculosis in the municipality were included in the study. The empirical data were analyzed using the theoretical analytical device of the Discourse Analysis of the French matrix. Results: it was evidenced that the effective implementation of active search, incentives, home visits, comprehensive care for the elderly, health education and exams favor the control of the disease, in addition to the therapeutic adherence of the elderly. Final considerations: the nurses’ discourses elucidated that professionals should rethink how they are producing care for the elderly, especially those with tuberculosis, because this population lacks specific attention, with their own singularities.
