Avaliação do excesso de casos de tuberculose atribuídos a infecção HIV/AIDS: ensaio preliminar

Abstract: Propõe-se realizar um exercício de estimação do risco atribuível por cento (RA%) da ocorrência de casos de tuberculose na vigência da co-infecção HIV/AIDS. A seguinte fórmula é apresentada:onde: p = proporção infectados pelo BK; r = risco de infecção tuberculosa; h = proporção de infectados pelo HIV; m 1 = coeficiente de morbidade reativação endógena; m 2 = coeficientes de morbidade de reinfecção exógena; m 3 = coeficiente de morbidade tuberculose primária; R = risco relativo de morbidade entre infectados pelo… Show more

“…This discrepancy can likely be explained by the impact of AIDS epidemic. 13,16 The main fi ndings of this study that corroborate, though indirectly, this impact include increasing TB mortality rates that were more marked and at earlier ages in the states of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, and increased TB deaths among male In less developed countries, TB remains a major cause of death in AIDS patients. 8 Prevention of TB development is, at least to some extent, possible in patients with HIV/AIDS through screening and treatment of latent TB as recommended in PNCT guidelines.…”

“…Even in Central and Western Europe, where the rate of resistance is lower, resistance to rifampicin is 1.1%. (11) Different patterns of resistance can be related to tuberculosis/HIV coinfection, HIV infection being central to the risk of developing active tuberculosis, either by endogenous reactivation or exogenous infection, (15) the precise impact of which remains undetermined.…”

“…Loures (1995) considerando uma incidência anual de cerca de sessenta mil casos de tuberculose nos adultos, prevê que, por volta do ano 1999, ocorreriam 25% a mais de casos da doença devido à epidemia do HIV/Aids. Ruffino-Netto (1995) propõe um modelo para avaliar o excesso de casos de tuberculose atribuídos à infecção HIV/Aids. No modelo citado, simulando uma situação em que a prevalência de anticorpos anti-HIV fosse da ordem de 2% e risco de infecção de 0,8%, estimou-se (para a população geral e no Brasil atual) um excesso de casos de tuberculose de 17%.…”
