Resumen
La detección de síntomas de tuberculosis en los pacientes ingresados en los hospitales de Bengaluru es factible. Este enfoque ayuda a detectar casos de tuberculosis (TB), lo que contribuye a los objetivos del Programa Nacional de Eliminación de la Tuberculosis (NTEP).
Área de la Ciencia:
- Salud pública
- Enfermedades infecciosas
- Medicina Clínica
Sus antecedentes:
- La tuberculosis (TB) representa una carga significativa para la salud mundial, y la India está trabajando activamente para su eliminación a través del Programa Nacional de Eliminación de la Tuberculosis (NTEP).
- A pesar de los esfuerzos en curso, lograr la eliminación de la tuberculosis sigue siendo un desafío, lo que requiere mejores estrategias de detección de casos dentro de los entornos de atención médica.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para evaluar la prevalencia de cuatro complejos de síntomas de tuberculosis clave entre los pacientes internados en un hospital de atención terciaria en Bengaluru.
- Determinar el número necesario de pruebas de detección (NNS) para identificar un caso de tuberculosis entre los pacientes ingresados.
Principales métodos:
- Se realizó un estudio transversal de abril a junio de 2023 en un hospital de atención terciaria de 750 camas en Bengaluru.
- Los pacientes hospitalizados de las salas de medicina, emergencias y pediatría fueron examinados para detectar síntomas como tos prolongada, fiebre, sudores nocturnos y pérdida de peso.
- Los datos se recopilaron mediante un cuestionario validado y los casos positivos se remitieron para su confirmación diagnóstica.
Principales resultados:
- De los 1497 pacientes examinados, 272 (18%) presentaron síntomas relacionados con la tuberculosis.
- Se confirmó la tuberculosis en 31 pacientes (11,3% de los sintomáticos) mediante el examen del esputo y la radiografía de tórax.
- El número necesario para la detección (NNS) para identificar un caso de tuberculosis se calculó en 48.
Conclusiones:
- La detección diaria de los síntomas de la tuberculosis en los departamentos clave es una estrategia factible.
- Este enfoque de detección es prometedor para la integración en los entornos de las universidades médicas para mejorar la detección de casos de tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis, more commonly referred to as TB, is an infectious disease stemming from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. While it primarily impacts the lungs, TB can also affect other body areas. Given its severity and global impact, timely and accurate diagnosis is crucial for controlling its spread and improving patient outcomes.
Several diagnostic approaches are used to detect TB. The conventional method is the Tuberculin Skin Test (TST), also known as the Mantoux test. However, this method has...

Medical management of tuberculosis (TB) patients involves a comprehensive approach that includes diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring. The specific strategies can vary depending on the type of tuberculosis (latent or active), the patient's overall health status, and other considerations.
Latent tuberculosis infection occurs when TB bacteria are present in a person's body, but are not causing illness or symptoms. It is not contagious, and preventive treatment is crucial to avoid the...

Tuberculosis, often called TB, is a contagious illness primarily caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It mainly affects the lung parenchyma but can also impact other body parts.
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.

Tuberculosis, or TB, is a bacterial infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. While its primary impact is on the lungs, leading to pulmonary tuberculosis, it can also affect various other organs, a condition referred to as extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
Here is a detailed explanation of its pathophysiology:
Transmission: The process begins when a person inhales droplet nuclei containing M. tuberculosis. These are typically released into the air when an individual with pulmonary or...

Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infection primarily affecting the lung parenchyma but which can also affect other body parts. TB can be classified based on disease development, presentation, and the affected anatomical site.
The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:

Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...
