RESUMEN
Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y transversal de los 323 casos con diagnóstico confirmado de tuberculosis en la provincia de Santiago de Cuba, con vistas a caracterizar la incidencia de esta enfermedad en el período 2007-2011, para lo cual se calcularon los porcentajes y las tasas de incidencia tipificadas. Entre los resultados principales predominaron el municipio Mella con la mayor tasa de incidencia, los pacientes de 25-34 años de edad y el sexo masculino; asimismo, 8 de cada 10 enfermos presentaron tuberculosis pulmonar (81,0 %) y el procedimiento diagnóstico mayormente realizado resultó ser el examen microscópico de esputo (56,6 %). Se concluye que la incidencia de esta afección en el territorio es marcadamente superior ante condiciones de vida menos favorables, y que el sexo masculino y la tuberculosis pulmonar fueron las características epidemiológicas más importantes. Se observó el pobre desempeño en la realización de la baciloscopia para el diagnóstico de esta entidad clínica en la población estudiada.
ABSTRACT
A descriptive and cross-sectional study of the 323 cases with confirmed diagnosis of tuberculosis was carried out in Santiago de Cuba, aimed at characterizing the incidence of this disease during 2007-2011, for which the percentages and the typified incidence rates were calculated. Among the main results prevailed Mella municipality with the higher rate of incidence, the 25-34 years patients and the male sex; also, 8 out of 10 sick persons presented lung tuberculosis (81.0%) and the diagnostic procedure mostly used was the microscopic exam of sputum (56.6%). It is concluded that the incidence of this disorder in the territory is markedly higher with less favorable life conditions, and that the male sex and the lung tuberculosis were the most important epidemiological characteristics. The poor performance in the realization of the baciloscopy for the diagnosis of this clinical entity in the studied population was observed.
