Perfil e seguimento dos pacientes portadores de Mycobacterium sp. do Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais

Abstract: INTRODUÇÃO: Em levantamentos feitos no Laboratório de Micobactérias do Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, em anos anteriores, constatou-se que cerca de 42% dos pacientes portadores de micobacterioses não haviam iniciado o tratamento por desconhecerem o diagnóstico. OBJETIVO: Avaliar o perfil dos pacientes portadores de micobacterioses do Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais. Descrever o seguimento desses pacientes e sua inserção no sistema de saúde, comparan… Show more

“…In Belo Horizonte, 1,897 new tuberculosis cases were notified in 2009 (incidence coefficient of 28.88/100.000 inhabitants), with cure rates of 66.2%, treatment abandonment rate of 19.7%, and tuberculosis mortality coefficient of 4.3%, data from the 2009 year. 10 In recent studies developed in the Hospital of Clinics of the Federal University of Minas Gerais (HC/FUMG), a high occurrence of resistant TB (15.3%) was detected, which is similar to data reported in other series analyzing the resistance profile between hospital attended patients 11 …”

“…The high tuberculin conversion (5.1%) and an infection risk of 1.4, three times higher than that found in the Brazilian general population, which is of 0.5, demonstrate both a high risk of recent transmission. Works just developed within Brazilian hospitals have reported a high conversion rate, but with significant decrease when measures of nosocomial control are implemented 24,25,11 . It is convenient to emphasize that this just seroconverted population has higher risk to fall ill and so perpetuate TB transmission, increasing then the burden on the health system.…”

“…However, another study conducted by the same team in Juiz de Fora, involving 156 patients with TB diagnosed from . This percentage of atypical mycobacteria (6%) was slightly lower than that found by Froes et al (2003). Also of public health and medical interest is the amplification of the oxyR pseudogene in a considerable portion (75%) of patients from laboratory 1 who had both negative results for AFB smear microscopy and a positive culture for mycobacteria.…”

“…Uma descrição original acerca dos resultados observados em um laboratório de micobactéria de um hospital universitário e sua inserção nas atividades de controle de tuberculose numa região metropolitana, em nosso meio, publicada por Froes GC et al (1) neste periódico, é de elevada relevância e pertinência. Deve-se ressaltar que nas últimas duas décadas, na discussão sobre as atividades de um Laboratório de Micobactéria em nosso país, tem sido priorizada a implementação e a otimização de treinamento e controle de qualidade apenas de laboratórios de saúde pública (Lacens).…”
