Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global health challenge.
  • Understanding the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of TB is vital for effective control strategies.
  • Factors like HIV infection, immigration, and chronic diseases influence TB prevalence and outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To estimate the incidence of Tuberculosis (TB) in a specific health area.
  • To analyze the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of TB patients.
  • To investigate the influence of HIV infection, immigration, chronic diseases, and lifestyle on TB.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of active and latent TB cases diagnosed in 2001 at Gregorio Marañon Hospital.

  • Inclusion of epidemiological, microbiological, clinical, and therapeutic variables.
  • Analysis of patient data including age, HIV status, immigration status, and diagnostic methods.

    • Main Results:

    • An estimated incidence of 11.14 cases per 100,000 inhabitants was recorded.
    • 43.6% of TB patients were HIV-infected, and 9% were immigrants.
    • 30% of analyzed samples showed drug resistance; HIV-infected patients had higher rates of TB reactivation and were more likely to not complete treatment.

    Conclusions:

    • Individuals with HIV infection, a history of injection drug abuse, immigration status, and elderly individuals in residential care are at higher risk for TB.
    • Early diagnosis and rigorous supervision of treatment are essential for controlling TB transmission and improving patient outcomes.
