“…1 According to the Programa Nacional de Controle da Tuberculose (PNCT -Brazilian Program on Tuberculosis Control), this group is considered to be vulnerable to such disease. 2 Scientific evidence [3][4][5] indicates that the incidence of TB is high in these populations, reaching rates [3][4][5][6]7 that are ten times higher than those found in the general Brazilian population.…”

Distribuição espacial de tuberculose nas populações indígenas e não indígenas do estado doCenters in Pará. The tuberculosis incidence rates were calculated for indigenous and non-indigenous populations in the 13 regions and maps were prepared to visualize the magnitude of the occurrence of tuberculosis. Results: Significant differences in the incidence of tuberculosis were found among non-indigenous and indigenous populations, reaching 7,812/100,000 inhabitants and 118/100,000 inhabitants respectively. Conclusion: Tuberculosis was distributed heterogeneously among the indigenous and non-indigenous populations. Moreover, it was possible to identify areas with high risk for this disease. It is important to note that knowledge about priority areas for tuberculosis control can help health service management to improve indicators that assess this disease and to develop different policies for indigenous peoples.Keywords: Tuberculosis; Indigenous Population; Spatial Analysis. Método: Estudio ecológico partir de datos del SINAN, estratificado para los 13 Centros Regionales de Salud existentes en Pará.Se calcularon las tasas de incidencia de tuberculosis en indígenas y no indígenas en las 13 regiones, y se confeccionaron los mapas para visualizar la magnitud de la incidencia de la tuberculosis. Resultados: Se encontró diferencias significativas en la incidencia de la tuberculosis entre la población no indígena y indígena, llegando a 7.812/100 mil habitantes y 118/100 mil habitantes. Conclusión: Se observó que la tuberculosis presenta una distribución heterogénea entre la población indígena y no indígena, y se pudo identificar las zonas con alto riesgo de la enfermedad. Es importante tener en cuenta que el conocimiento de las áreas prioritarias para el control de la tuberculosis puede ayudar a la gestión de los servicios de salud, para mejorar los índices que evalúan la enfermedad y desarrollar diferentes políticas para los pueblos indígenas.

Background: Tuberculosis remains a worldwide health hazard instead well documented well publicized methods of prevention and cure. Chest radiographs are used to stratify for risk and to assess for asymptomatic active disease. Hence; we planned the present study to retrospectively analyze the data of the pulmonary tuberculosis patients for analyzing the spectrum of radiographic findings. Subjects and Methods: In the present study, we analyzed the data records of a total of 100 pulmonary tuberculosis patients. A self-framed master cart was prepared in which, past medical history, clinical history, radiographic findings, clinical findings of all the patients was obtained. Data records of only those patients were analyzed in which both clinical and bacteriologic confirmation of the disease was present. Radiographs were evaluated. Only preoperative radiographic findings were taken into consideration. Results: The most common radiographic finding was hilar lymph node, found to be present in 66 percent of the patients. Unilateral nodular infiltration was found to be present in 25 percent of the patients. Patchy consolidation was seen in 22 percent of the patients. Fibrotic scar was seen in 10 percent of the patients while calcified nodule was seen in 8 percent of the patients. Conclusion: In diagnosing and assessing the extent of severity among tuberculosis patients, radiographic imaging is a vital tool.

“…The Brazilian literature has reported the importance of imaging exams in the study of lung infections ( 18 - 23 ) . Radio-logically, chest X-ray, although nonspecific, is important to demonstrate pulmonary involvement in HPS; it is also essential for the monitoring of disease progression.…”

Objective:The purpose of this study was to describe the high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) findings in patients with hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS).Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed HRCT findings from eight cases of HPS. All patients were men, aged 19-70 (mean, 41.7) years. Diagnoses were established by serological test (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) in all patients. Two chest radiologists analyzed the images and reached decisions by consensus.Results:The predominant HRCT findings were ground-glass opacities (GGOs) and smooth inter- and intralobular septal thickening, found in all eight cases; however, the crazy-paving pattern was found in only three cases. Pleural effusion and peribronchovascular thickening were observed in five patients. The abnormalities were bilateral in all patients.Conclusion:The predominant HRCT findings in patients with HPS were GGOs and smooth inter- and intralobular septal thickening, which probably correlate with the histopathologic findings of pulmonary edema.
