Resumo: | Objective: To estimate the prevalence of latent M. tuberculosis infection and identify characteristics related to latent infection among workers of the primary healthcare network.Methods: Cross-sectional, observational and descriptive study, conducted in 2011, included 137 basic health workers who performed their activities in a municipality. Interviews were carried out addressing characteristics of exposure at work (BCG vaccination, length of time working in the health system, potential exposure to tuberculosis, HIV infection, use of corticosteroids, diabetes, use of tobacco or alcohol) and subsequently performed tuberculin skin test (TST). Data was analyzed with Fischer and Student’s t-test (p < 0.05). Results: Health professionals were mostly women (n=126, 92%) with mean age of 35.3 (± 9.1) years. Among the reactors, 25 (55.5%) sought medical care, and of these, 7 (28%) underwent prophylactic treatment. The prevalence of latent tuberculosis was 32.8%. Of the characteristics evaluated, only smoking (OR 3.03; 95%CI 1.05-8.77) was associated with latent infection. Conclusion: The estimated prevalence of latent M. tuberculosis infection among the evaluated health workers was 32.8%. As for the characteristics studied, it was not possible to relate them to latent infection among workers in primary healthcare network, with the exception of the smoking habit. doi: 10.5020/18061230.2014.p269 |

Métodos: Estudio transversal, observacional y descriptivo realizado en 2011 con 137 trabajadores de la red básica de salud que desarrollaban sus actividades en un municipio. Se realizaron entrevistas sobre las características de exposición del trabajo (vacunación con BCG, tiempo de trabajo en la red de salud, exposición potencial a la tuberculosis, infección por el VIH, uso de corticoides, diabetes, uso de tabaco o alcohol) y, a posteriori, se aplico la prueba de la Tuberculina (PT). Los datos fueron analizados con la prueba de Fisher y el t-student (p < 0,05). Resultados: Los profesionales sanitarios eran en su mayoría mujeres (n=126, 92%) y edad media de 35,3 (±9,1) años. De los profesionales reatores, 25 (55,5%) buscaron la asistencia medica – de estos, 7 (28%) realizaron tratamiento profiláctico. La prevalencia de tuberculosis latente fue del 32,8%. De las características evaluadas solamente el tabaquismo (OR: 3,03; IC 95% 1,05-8,77) estuvo asociado a la infección latente. Conclusión: La prevalencia estimada de infección latente de M tuberculosis de los trabajadores sanitarios evaluados fue del 32,8%. No ha sido posible relacionar las características estudiadas con la infección latente entre los trabajadores de La red básica de salud, a excepción del tabaquismo. doi:10.5020/18061230.2014.p269Objetivo: Estimar a prevalência de infecção latente por M. tuberculosis e identificar características relacionadas à infecção latente entre os trabalhadores da rede básica de saúde.
