“…( 18 ) This may be related to the higher frequency of side effects of chemotherapy among patients with this condition,( 19 ) especially gastric intolerance, because it complicates the continuity of treatment. In fact, the nutritional status of patients is reported as one of the factors that may be related to the side effects of tuberculosis treatment( 20 ) and as a reason for noncompliance,( 21 ) i.e., contributing to nonadherence to treatment.…”

OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of nutritional deficiency among patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study using data obtained from the Brazilian Case Registry Database and from the medical records of patients diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis (15-59 years of age) residing in one of the municipalities that make up the 16th Regional Health District of the state of Bahia. We calculated the incidence, lethality, and mortality rates, as well as the prevalence of nutritional deficiency, as evaluated by body mass index. Demographic, social, clinical, and epidemiological data were collected. RESULTS: Of the 72 confirmed cases of tuberculosis, 59 (81.9%) were in males, and 21 (29.2%) of the patients were in the 40-49 year age bracket. The majority (85.3%) described themselves as Mulatto or Black; 55.2% reported using alcohol; and approximately 90% were treated as outpatients. In the district and age bracket studied, the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis was 30.6/100,000 population. Among the 72 patients, data regarding nutritional status was available for 34. Of those, 50% and 25%, respectively, presented nutritional deficiency at the beginning and at the end of treatment. No statistically significant differences were found between normal-weight and malnourished patients regarding the characteristics studied. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of nutritional deficiency was high among our sample of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. This underscores the importance of nutritional follow-up for the assessment of tuberculosis treatment in the decision-making process regarding therapeutic interventions.

“…In the 1970s, we had the dissemination of the results of an important tuberculin investigation with students, developed by Certain et al 44 (1972), in addition to relevant articles about planning and evaluation techniques for TB control activities in health services 9 , 10 and new treatment schemes 33 . We also found texts on robust methods of risk estimation of tubercular infection 144 , 145 , an indispensable support to the improvement of TB control strategies.…”

Path of infectious diseases in Brazil in the last 50 years: an ongoing challenge

In this article, we comment on the main features of infectious diseases in Brazil in the last 50 years, highlighting how much of this path Revista de Saúde Pública could portray. From 1967 to 2016, 1,335 articles focusing on infectious diseases were published in Revista de Saúde Pública. Although the proportion of articles on the topic have decreased from about 50.0% to 15.0%, its notability remained and reflected the growing complexity of the research required for its control. It is noteworthy that studies design and analysis strategies progressively became more sophisticated, following the great development of epidemiology in Brazil in the recent decades. Thus, the journal has followed the success of public health interventions that permitted to control or eliminate numerous infectious diseases – which were responsible, in the past, for high rates of morbidity and mortality –, and also followed the reemergence of diseases already controlled and the emergence of until then unknown diseases, with a strong impact on the Brazilian population, establishing a little predictable and very challenging path.

A fragilidade ou inexistência dos serviços sanitários na maioria dos países em desenvolvimento não permite que mesmo a tecnologia mais simples seja posta à disposição da maioria da população desses países.…”
