Busca de casos de tuberculose pulmonar: abreugrafia em sintomáticos respiratórios, seguida de exames bacteriológicos nos suspeitos

Abstract: INTRODUÇÃOO diagnóstico da tuberculose pulmonar é tarefa compreendida no âmbito das atribuições do médico, tendo como objetivo maior o alívio do sofrimento individual. A busca de casos na população é atribuição de um sistema de saúde, do qual o médico é apenas um componente, sendo o seu objetivo principal localizar aqueles pacientes que constituem risco para a comunidade, a fim de tratá-los adequadamente e com isso romper a cadeia de transmissão.Trata-se pois de empreendimento complexo que requer a contribuiçã… Show more

“…To understand the long term impact of sustained intensive screening on TB prevalence and mortality in this type of setting, further operational research should be done as modeling suggests that significant reductions in TB mortality and incidence might be possible using this approach [22]. In published studies in Brazil [23], Kenya [24], India [19], [20] and Tanzania [25], screening at health facilities has generally been of a short duration and with much smaller numbers. The study in Tanzania looked at results over nine months, but only screened women at hospitals and had high rates of HIV, which is not the case in Pakistan.…”

(16) The limitations imposed of the number of radiological tests performed via the Brazilian Unified Health Care System made it impossible for patients with respiratory symptoms to have regular access to these tests.…”
