“…In the study conducted by Saraceni et al 30 in Rio de Janeiro, only 17 of 67 eligible PLHIV (25.4%) had access to PTI; adherence to PTI was 53% among Brazilian patients enrolled in general healthcare facilities 31 . Santos et al 32 showed that 53 out of 66 eligible PLHIV had access to PTI (80.3%), but only 26 completed PTI (49.1%). In our own institution, a cross-sectional study conducted in 2005 showed that only 59% of eligible PLHIV had access to TST and only 55% of eligible patients had access to PTI 11 .…”

Tuberculosis (TB) is still a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among people living with HIV (PLHIV). The diagnosis of latent TB is required for the implementation of prophylactic therapy with isoniazid (PTI). However, low access to diagnosis of latent TB and non-adherence to PTI may hinder potential benefits of this essential intervention. In this study, we addressed the access and adherence to PTI in a cohort of PLHIV with positive tuberculin skin test (TST) in a reference HIV clinic in Sao Paulo, Brazil. We have also analyzed the occurrence of active TB over a median of 131 months after a positive TST among study participants. Our findings revealed that 88.3% of the 238 TST-positive patients had access to PTI, and 196 (93.3%) of those with access adhered to PTI. Active tuberculosis was diagnosed in three of the 196 TST-positive patients who adhered to PTI (1.5%; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.3-4.4%), whereas seven cases were detected among 42 patients without access or who did not adhere to PTI (16.6%; 95% CI 7.0-31.3%). The apparent beneficial effect of PTI in our cohort is consistent with previous studies including PLHIV, and highlights the importance of reliably delivering each of the steps between screening for latent TB and provision of PTI.

Objective: To understand the social determinants of health from the perspective of the work of community health agents. Method: A qualitative study conducted in a Health District Management in the city of Porto Alegre/Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, through focus groups and semi-structured interviews with community health agents. The analysis took place through thematic categorization, and the social determinants of health were adopted as the analytical category. Results: Twenty-five (25) community health agent workers participated. Overlapping individual and collective themes emerged, from violence and drug trafficking to lack of sanitation, improperly disposed garbage, illiteracy and the health problems themselves. Conclusion: The study revealed a complex relationship between the work of community health agents and the social determinants of health, reinforcing the need for a cohesive health team with intersectoral initiatives to address the different demands of the territories which are worked and lived in.

“…In the dimension of health education, few amenities were quantified when compared to the difficulties. The literature states that when it comes to the empowerment of TB patients as a strategy for disease control, it is emphasized the importance of health education as a political act, which can promote dialogue between health professionals and users, autonomy and incentive to an active posture of these subjects in their political and social environments (Fernandes et al, 2010;Santos et al, 2017). In this aspect, it was found that:…”

The study proposed to analyze the amenities and difficulties faced by nurses’ professionals in the fight against tuberculosis within the field of primary health care. This was a cross-sectional study with a qualitative approach. The sample consisted of 36 participants, all of whom were nurses. The statistical program IRaMuTeQ was applied and we also applied Laurence Bardin and Minayo content analysis to discuss both aprioristic and non-aprioristic categories. In the study it was clear that the difficulties are diversified, such as: personal matters from the professionals, physical and organizational structure, awareness of patients and family about the therapeutic process and the administration, the latter being the one most pointed out as difficult; regarding the amenities, the multi-professional work and protocols defined by the National Tuberculosis Control Program were pointed out. The study proves that the administrative question is the key to the function of the entire process of fighting tuberculosis, serving as a reference for improvements and adjustments.
