ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: In developing countries, there is little information about the risk factors that predict noncompliance with tuberculosis (TB) treatment in hospitals. OBJECTIVE: This study analyzes possible factors associated with noncompliance with TB treatment among patients treated at HAA. DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study was made including all patients who initiated TB treatment at HAA, from January to December 1998. A standard form was used to review medical records and to collect data on each patient. This data was evaluated in comparison with data from the state TB control program. RESULTS: Of the 341 patients included in the study, 186 (61.2) were considered cured and 67 (22) were non-compliant. The factors associated with noncompliance were: previous anti-TB treatment (RR = 1.95, 95 CI 1.29 to 2.93), prescription of drugs other than the standard first-line regimen proposed by the Brazilian Health Ministry (Rifampin + Isoniazide + Pyrazinamide) (RR = 0.54, 95 CI 0.35 to 0.83), the need for hospitalization (RR = 2.19, 95 CI 1.46 to 3.29) and non-inclusion in the hospital s TB Control Program for treatment follow up (RR = 0.54, 95 CI 0.35 to 0.82). SETTING: Anuar Auad Hospital (HAA) GoiÔnia, Goißs, Brazil. CONCLUSION: Our results indicate the importance of establishing Tuberculosis Control Programs in hospitals, while paying special attention to patients with risk factors for noncompliance with TB treatment.

ABSTRACT

As dermatofitoses säo infecçöes superficiais capazes de produzir lesöes em tecidos queratinizados, como pele, pêlo e unhas. Foram examinados 6068 indivíduos procedentes de Goiânia, com suspeita clínica de infecçöes fúngicas, durante 5 anos (1993-1997), verificandose a incidência e a etiologia das dermatofitoses nos referidos pacientes. Material coletado de várias regiöes corpóreas permitiu caracterizar 1595 dermatófitos em 1345 indivíduos. A identificaçäo dos dermatófitos realizada através de cultivo em ágar Sabouraud e microcultivo em lâmina, permitiu verificar uma maior frequência de Trichophyton rubrum (37,4 por cento), T. mentagrophytes (36,4 por cento)e Microsporum canis (16 por cento). Os dermatófitos foram mais frequentemente encontrados produzindo lesöes nos pés (30,5 por cento), regiäo inguino crural (l 7, 8 por cento) e regiäo glabra do corpo (15,5 por cento). Foi analisada a distribuiçäo corporal das lesöes de dermatofitoses com os respectivos agentes etiológicos encontrados. Melhores condiçöes higiênicas e diagnóstico precoce da doença säo necessários para controlar e diminuir a incidência de dermatofitoses na nossa regiäo

ABSTRACT

A criptocose é uma das importantes complicaçöes nos indivíduos com AIDS. Nestes pacientes tem predominado como agente etiológico C.neoformans var. neoformans e muito raramente relata-se C.neoformans var. gattii, mesmo nas regiöes onde se verifica a sua prevalência. O liquído cefalorraquidiano (LCR) de pacientes com AIDS foram submetidos ao exame direto com tinta nanquim, cultura em ágar Sabouraud dextrose e em ágar Guizotia abyssinica mantidos à temperatura ambiente e à temperatura de 37§C, identificando-se Cryptococcus neiformans pelas suas características macro e microscópicas. O meio L-canavanina-glicina-azul de bromotimol (CGB) foi utilizado para difderenciar as variedades, sendo identificados 42 Cryptococcus neoformans var. neoformans e 3 var. gattii. O trabalho relata a meningite criptocócica causada por C.neoformans var. neoformans e C. neoformans var. gattii e pacientes com AIDS.
