2014
Se efectuo un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal de 898 contactos de pacientes con tuberculosis, pertenecientes al municipio de Camaguey de la provincia de igual nombre, desde el 2008 hasta el 2009, a fin de evaluar el seguimiento a dichos contactos e identificar las principales debilidades de este proceso. Se empleo el formulario de seguimiento de los contactos con tuberculosis pulmonar y baciloscopia positiva, los cuales fueron inicialmente investigados y tratados con quimioterapia; solo en 35 de ellos no se completo la investigacion de acuerdo con los lineamientos del Programa Nacional de Control de la Tuberculosis; por tanto, se constato el cumplimiento de los citados lineamientos para el seguimiento de los contactos de casos positivos con esta afeccion, que fue mas riguroso en las edades tempranas y laboralmente activas (25-54 anos). Durante el proceso no se observaron debilidades; sin embargo, se debe sensibilizar a la poblacion para que cumpla con los examenes correspondientes. A descriptive and cross-sectional study of 898 contacts of patients with tuberculosis, belonging to Camaguey municipality, in Camaguey was carried out from 2008 to 2009, in order to evaluate the follow-up to their contacts and to identify the main weaknesses of this process. The follow-up prescription of the contacts with lung tuberculosis and positive bacilloscopy was used, which were initially investigated and treated with chemotherapy; only in 35 of them the investigation was not completed according to the guidelines of the National Program of Tuberculosis Control; therefore, the implementation of the mentioned guidelines was verified for the follow-up of the contacts of positive cases with this affection, which was more rigorous in the early and active working ages (25-54 years). During the trial weaknesses were not observed; however, the population should be sensitized so that they fulfil the corresponding examinations.
