RESUMO

Aunque las personas que administren y lean las pruebas tuberculínicas sean las mismas, se han encontrado variaciones notables en las resultados. En este estudio nos propusimos medir la consistencia y variabilidad en las lecturas de las pruebas tuberculínicas de un grupo de enfermeras en entrenamiento del Programa Nacional de Control de Tuberculosis en Cuba. Se realizó un taller de entrenamiento de 5 enfermeras usando un lector patrón de la OPS. Se realizaron 560 pruebas de Mantoux en adultos, trabajadores de 3 centros laborales, según técnica estándar de la OMS y recomendaciones de la Unión Internacional contra la Tuberculosis y Enfermedades Respiratorias. Las lecturas se hicieron a ciegas y para disminuir la variabilidad se hicieron ajustes permanentes. El índice de correlación más alto fue de la lectora A (69,6 (por ciento), seguido de la C (67,3 (por ciento) y la B (64,7 (por ciento). Las diferencias mayores se produjeron en las lecturas altas. Para participar en investigaciones de campo estas lectoras deberán ejercitarse más, hasta comprobar que algunos defectos que aún persisten, se hayan corregido(AU)


Although the persons in charge of administering and reading the tuberculin tests are the same, remarkable variability has been found in the final results. This study is aimed at measuring the consistency and variability of tuberculin test readings made by a group of nurses who receive training in the Cuban National Program of Tuberculosis Control. A training workshop was held for 5 nurses in which a PAHO model reader was used. Five hundred and sixty Mantoux tests were made in adults, workers from 3 centers, following the WHO standard techniques and the recommendations of the International Union against Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases. Readings were blind and ongoing adjustments were made to reduce variability. The highest correlation index was found in reader A (69.6 percent) followed by reader C(67.3 percent) and B (64.7 percent). The greatest differences were found in high readings. In order to participate in these field readings, these readers should practice more until some deficiencies that are still present are solved(AU)
