Desfechos do tratamento para infecção latente por tuberculose em portadores de HIV em uma Unidade de Referência da Secretaria de Saúde do Distrito Federal

Abstract

Introduction: People living with HIV (PLHIV) have a risk of having a mental disorder due to tuberculosis, that is, a state of illness due to tuberculosis, with latent tuberculosis infection, provide ample reservoir to reactivate and develop the active disease. The association of ILTB with immunosuppressive drugs, such as HIV / AIDS, is an aggravating factor, with an emphasis on a vulnerability that is directly related to immunodeficiency. In 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) marked the growth of 10 million, with 10% in PLHIV, highlighting the occurrence of a public health problem. Methods: A descriptive study, with a quantitative approach based on secondary information from the unit's own record book, the Notification Records System (Sinan) and the medical records. Results: Fifty-five PLHIV with a diagnosis of ILTB were eligible for this study. The final outcome of chemoprophylaxis was 69.09% in the general population, the highest rate in males with 72.7% in race / color in whites with 84.62%, in people between 60 and 72 years old with 80.00% and in individuals with higher education 80.00%. Discussion: The percentile found at the conclusion of ILTB chemoprophylaxis in the general population of the DF is in accordance with other studies conducted in Brazil and abroad, as well as the proportion of the term in the variables gender, age, race / color and educational level. Conclusion: The present study presented differentiated social, demographic and epidemiological profiles of PLHIV related to the outcome of the QTL of ILTB, which are monitored at the reference center of the federal capital. This study contributed to a better understanding of this topic, besides highlighting the need for further studies on latent infection that is little studied when compared to tuberculosis. Among the main limitations found in the development of this research, it was observed the incompleteness of completing the notification form of some important variables, compromising a more reliable analysis.
