“…Causes of death were automatically processed using the Automated Classification of Medical Entities (ACME) for 1985 to 1995 10 and the São Paulo State Death Certificates software 14 , with adaptation for batch processing using the Selection of Underlying Cause (SCB) system 15 for 1996 to 2004. A review was made of the records in which cysticercosis was mentioned in the death certificate but not specified as the underlying cause.…”

IntroductionCysticercosis of the central nervous system (CNS), or neurocysticercosis, is an infection caused by the larval stage (cysticerci) of the pork tapeworm Taenia solium. The life cycle of this tapeworm includes humans as definitive hosts and swine as intermediate hosts. Pigs are infected when they ingest human feces containing microscopic T. solium eggs, which develop into cysticerci in the muscle and brain. After eating undercooked pork containing viable cysticerci, humans develop an intestinal tapeworm infestation, thus completing the natural evolutionary cycle. However, humans can also become intermediate hosts by directly ingesting T. solium eggs from feces of human carriers of the parasite. Humans are thus anomalous intermediate hosts in human cysticercosis. These eggs then develop into cysticerci, which migrate into muscle and the CNS, where the cysticerci can cause seizures and various other neurological symptoms. Both these forms of human cysticercosis are therefore human-to-human infections acquired by fecal-oral contamination in areas with poor hygiene and sanitation. Cysticercosis of the CNS is the most important neurological disease of parasitic origin in humans and is currently widespread around the world and one of the main health problems in the developing countries of Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The disease causes serious morbidity, and in areas where T. solium is endemic it is known to be a ARTIGO ARTICLE Santo AH 2918

“…Campos auxiliares foram incluídos, entre eles, campo para transformar em string único os correspondentes às linhas (a), (b), (c) e (d) da Parte I e da Parte II do Modelo Internacional de Atestado Médico de Causa de Morte (atestado médico da declaração de óbito). Nas unidades da Federação, para a identificação da causa básica e das causas associadas, respectivamente, os dados sobre as causas de morte foram processados automaticamente pelo programa Seleção de Causa Básica (SCB) 6 , exceto no Estado de São Paulo, em que foi usado o programa Declarações de Óbito de São Paulo (DOSP), que consiste na adaptação do SCB para processamento em lote 7 . As causas de morte usadas no estudo foram aquelas mencionadas originalmente no atestado médico (entity axis codes) 8 , definidas e apresentadas por meio da estrutura e das rubricas da CID-10 1, 3,8 .…”

“…Along with the implementation of the Tenth Revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10), in 1996, the Sistema Declarações de Óbito de São Paulo (São Paulo Death Certificate System -DOSP/SCBX), was also implemented, and the first decision tables for automatic processing of AIDS-related deaths were constructed. 9 The present study is aimed at investigating tuberculosis -related mortality in the state of São Paulo according to multiple causes of death, showing its importance as underlying and associated cause as well, and in this latter form, their interrelation with other underlying causes, especially AIDS.…”

ObjectivesThe goal of this paper is to investigate mortality related to tuberculosis in the state of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil, according to multiple causes of death and their interrelation with other underlying causes. MethodsThe study investigated deaths related to tuberculosis that occurred in the state of São Paulo in 1998. ResultsTB was the underlying cause of 1,644 deaths, a 4.6/100,000 population mortality rate. Main associated causes were respiratory failure (46,9%), pneumonias (16.5%), other specified symptoms and signs involving circulatory and respiratory systems (13.9%), cachexia (12.9%), diseases of the circulatory system (10.3%), conditions due to alcohol use (8.4%), septicemias (7.2%) and malnutrition (7.1%). Tuberculosis occurred as an associated cause in another 1,388 deaths. The mortality rate including TB as a both underlying and associated cause was 8.9/100,000 population, practically twice the classical rate. Deaths whose associated cause was reported as being TB had as underlying causes: AIDS (65.3%), diseases of the circulatory system (8.9%), neoplasms (7.5%), and diseases of the digestive system (4.8%). Clinical forms of nervous system and miliary TB were more frequent as a cause associated with AIDS than with other underlying causes (p<0,001). ConclusionsTotal reports of TB-related death practically doubled its mortality rate as an underlying cause. The increase in TB mortality was demonstrated to be influenced by the AIDS epidemic.
