RESUMEN
Fundamentos El Programa de Control de Tuberculosis en Cuba ha logrado reducir significativamente la incidencia de casos en todas sus formas. Desde hace 5 años el municipio Habana Vieja ha mantenido la incidencia más alta de la provincia Ciudad de La Habana y una de las más altas del país. El objetivo del trabajo fue estimar el costo de la detección de casos de tuberculosis en el municipio Habana Vieja durante el año 2002.

Métodos:

Se realizó un estudio descriptivo retrospectivo de estimación de costos, con perspectiva social. Se estimaron costos de la detección de casos y sus partidas en instituciones de salud. Para pacientes con tos/expectoración > o igual 14 días (SR+14) se estimó el gasto de bolsillo y pérdidas monetarias por ausencias laborales. Los costos se expresaron en pesos cubanos equivalentes a dólares Americanos (1 CUC = 1 USD). Se obtuvo información de registros oficiales en instituciones de salud y entrevistas a trabajadores y SR+14.

Resultados:

En promedio el costo social de la detección de casos de tuberculosis para un SR+14 en CUC fue de 24,11 y el institucional de 12,55; la investigación clínica 0,37; la baciloscopía 2,25; el Cultivo 7,05; la radiografía de tórax 1,67; la notificación 3,07; y registro 0,36.

Conclusiones:

Los mayores costos se observaron en la realización de baciloscopías y cultivos; el salario y los reactivos fueron las partidas que más aportaron a ese costo
ABSTRACT

Background:

The Cuban Tuberculosis Control Program has been able to significantly reduce the tuberculosis cases incidence in all its forms. La Habana Vieja municipality has maintained the highest incidence in Havana City province during 5 years and one of the highest in the country.

Objective:

To estimate the cost of Tuberculosis cases detection in Habana Vieja municipality, in the year 2002.

Methods:

A descriptive retrospective study to estimate the costs with social perspective was carried out. The costs of cases detection and their departures in health facilities were considered. For patients with cough/expectoration ³14 days (RS+14) the pocket expense and monetary losses for labour absences were considered. Costs were expressed in equivalent Cuban pesos to American dollars (1 CUC = 1 USD). Information from official records in health institutions and from interviews to workers and RS+14 was obtained.

Results:

Social cost of tuberculosis cases detection for an RS+14 was in average 24,11 CUC, and institutional cost was 12,55; for clinical investigation 0.37; for sputum smear microscopy 2,25; for culture 7,05; for thorax X-ray 1,67; for notification 3,07; and for registering 0,36.

Conclusions:

The biggest costs were observed in sputum smear microscopies and cultures performance; salaries and reagents were the issues contributing more in that cost. The results obtained in this study could be extrapolated to other municipalities in the country with social and economic conditions similar to La Habana Vieja
