Novas tecnologias para estudo da tuberculose: Uma análise da detecção e transmissão de M. tuberculosis circulante

Abstract: Além de identificar os doentes com tuberculose (TB), é importante monitorar os genótipos de M. tuberculosis circulantes. Mesmo após a implantação do Xpert® MTB/RIF, o diagnóstico é ainda realizado apenas pela baciloscopia, que apresenta baixa sensibilidade, na maioria dos laboratórios. Objetivo: Utilizar análises de DNA para o diagnóstico e identificação dos genótipos circulantes em uma população do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Metodologia: Amostras clínicas foram analisadas pelo Detect-TB (Labtest, MG), por PCR… Show more

“…In order to examine the relationship between living conditions and environmental factors and TB, it is necessary to adopt spatial analysis techniques. Moreover, understanding TB behavior in an area and its determinants is essential for implementing interventions aimed at reducing inequalities and improving treatment adherence (8). Thus, the identification of areas at different risk for TB may be essential to allow the public health system to adopt strategies tailored to the characteristics of each region and to prioritize areas with a higher incidence of the disease (9).…”
