ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Comparar as manifestações clínicas, radiológicas e laboratoriais de indivíduos com tuberculose pulmonar coinfectados com HIV com aqueles sem a coinfecção. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal, no qual sinais e sintomas foram analisados por meio de anamnese e exame físico em pacientes internados com tuberculose pulmonar. A baciloscopia, a cultura para Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a dosagem de hemoglobina e a contagem de células T CD4+ foram obtidas de registros dos prontuários, assim como os laudos das radiografias de tórax. RESULTADOS: Foram incluídos 50 pacientes com tuberculose pulmonar, que foram divididos em dois grupos (HIV positivo e HIV negativo; n = 25 por grupo). A média de idade dos participantes foi de 38,4 ± 10,5 anos, 46 (92 por cento) eram do sexo masculino, e 27 (54 por cento) eram caucasianos. Apresentaram expectoração 21 (84 por cento) e 13 (52 por cento) dos pacientes nos grupos HIV negativo e HIV positivo, respectivamente (p = 0,016). Achados radiológicos de cavitação estavam presentes em 10 (43 por cento) e 2 (10 por cento) dos pacientes nos grupos HIV negativo e HIV positivo, respectivamente (p = 0,016), ao passo que padrão intersticial estava presente em 18 (78 por cento) e 8 (40 por cento) dos pacientes nesses grupos (p = 0,012). O nível médio de hemoglobina foi de 11,1 ± 2,9 g/dL e 9,3 ± 2,2 g/dL nos grupos HIV negativo e HIV positivo, respectivamente (p = 0,015). CONCLUSÕES: Entre pacientes coinfectados com tuberculose e HIV desta amostra, houve menor prevalência de expectoração, foram menos frequentes os achados radiológicos de cavitação e de padrão intersticial, e os níveis de hemoglobina foram mais baixos do que naqueles sem essa coinfecção.


OBJECTIVE: To compare clinical, radiological, and laboratory characteristics of individuals with pulmonary tuberculosis co-infected or not with HIV. METHODS: A cross-sectional study, in which signs and symptoms were assessed by anamnesis and physical examination in patients hospitalized with pulmonary tuberculosis. The results of sputum smear microscopy and culture for Mycobacterium tuberculosis, as well as hemoglobin levels and CD4+ T-cell counts, were obtained from medical records, and chest X-ray reports were consulted. RESULTS: We included 50 pulmonary tuberculosis patients, who were divided into two groups (HIV-positive and HIV-negative; n = 25 per group). The mean age of the participants was 38.4 ± 10.5 years; 46 (92 percent) were males; and 27 (54 percent) were White. Expectoration was presented by 21 (84 percent) and 13 (52 percent) of the patients in the HIV-negative and HIV-positive groups, respectively (p = 0.016). Radiological findings of cavitation were present in 10 (43 percent) and 2 (10 percent) of the patients in the HIV-negative and HIV-positive groups, respectively (p = 0.016), whereas an interstitial pattern was observed in 18 (78 percent) and 8 (40 percent), respectively (p = 0.012). The mean hemoglobin level was 11.1 ± 2.9 g/dL and 9.3 ± 2.2 g/dL in the HIV-negative and HIV-positive groups, respectively (p = 0.015). CONCLUSIONS: In our sample of tuberculosis patients, expectoration was less prevalent, hemoglobin levels were lower, and cavitation was less common, as was an interstitial pattern, among those co-infected with HIV than among those without HIV co-infection.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Descrever os patógenos isolados em cultura quantitativa de escarro, nas exacerbações agudas de doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica, em pacientes internados no Hospital Nossa Senhora da Conceição – Tubarão/SC e no Hospital Nereu Ramos – Florianópolis/SC. Metodologia: Foi realizado um estudo de delineamento transversal, utilizando escarro coletado em pacientes internados, o qual foi submetido à cultura quantitativa. Foi utilizada como ponto de corte a presença de 106 ufc/mL. O uso da antibioticoterapia foi confrontado com o isolamento em cultivo de agente etiológico bacteriano, através do índice de concordância Kappa. Resultados: Foram avaliados consecutivamente 13 pacientes, sendo 69,2% pertencentes ao gênero masculino, com média de idade de 67,15. A cultura de escarro evidenciou o crescimento de 53,8% de Streptococcus viridans e 7,7% de Haemophilus influenzae. Em 38,5% das culturas, não houve crescimento bacteriano. Quantificou-se 38,5%(n = 5) das culturas com mais de 106 UFC e 23,1% (n = 3) com menos de 106 UFC. O índice de concordância Kappa entre o uso de antibioticoterapia e a presença de infecção foi de -0,519. Conclusão: Houve um predomínio de pacientes do gênero masculino, e o agente mais comumente isolado nas culturas foi o Streptococcus viridans. Ocorreu discordância entre o uso de antimicronianos e a presença ou ausência de infecção.


Objective: To describe the pathogens isolated through quantitative sputum culture, in acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in patients admitted to the Hospital Nossa Senhora da Conceição, Tubarão/SC and Hospital Nereu Ramos, Florianópolis/SC. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted using sputum collected from hospitalized patients, which was subjected to quantitative culture. The presence of 106 cfu/mL was used as a cutoff point. The use of antibiotics was compared with isolation of bacterial culture from the etiologic agent by Kappa index of agreement. Results:Thirteen patients were consecutive evaluated, 69.2% out of them were male, mean age 67.15. Sputum culture showed 53.8% growth of Streptococcus viridans and 7.7% of Haemophilus influenzae. There was no bacterial growth in 38.5% of the cultures. Of the total, 38.5% (n = 5) contained more than 106 CFU and 23.1% (n = 3) contained less than 106 CFU. The Kappaindex of concordance between antibiotic use and the presence of infection was -0.519. Conclusion: There was a predominance of male patients, and the agent most commonly isolated in cultures was Streptococcus viridans. There was disagreement between antimicrobial use and the presence or absence of infection.
