Epidemiological aspects of pulmonary tuberculosis in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil

Abstract: This study sought to show the importance of discussing territoriality more adequately in Brazil.

Then, it will be possible to correct the incidence rate of tuberculosis for specific populations in the state, taking into account populations in each place of residence and considering their specificities and differences. In conclusion, in the light of the present study, it is necessary to discuss more … Show more

“…These data show a higher incidence in such population, according to studies which concluded that indigenous groups are the most vulnerable to TB infection. [22][23][24][25] Regarding the georeferenced analysis of TB cases in nonindigenous populations, few cities showed a decrease in the mean coefficient of incidence during the transition from the 2005-2007 to the 2008-2010 three-year period. Nonetheless, there was a steady reduction in the incidence of cases in the group of cities included in the 6 th and 10 th CRS.…”

“…Em relação à etnia, na maioria das notificações os pacientes se intitularam brancos, em concordância com outros estudos. Essa informação pode estar associada ao modo como as pessoas se definem no ato do preenchimento da notificação, e não a uma predominância real da doença por raças 19,21 . A situação de rua e a institucionalização podem ser considerados ambientes de grande vulnerabilidade devido à aglomeração de pessoas, pouca condição de higiene, nutrição precária, uso de álcool e drogas, e difícil acesso aos serviços de saúde.…”
