Abstract
With the purpose of evaluating the bacteriological diagnosis and the tuberculosis treatment control, the authors analyzed, in the years of 1999/2000, the tests processed by the Adolfo Lutz Institute in Campinas (SP), Health Regional Department (DIRS) and laboratories related to it from XII, XV and XX, witch serve 93 towns. During that period 53.341 samples were undertaken, 3.781 (7,1%) detected the presence of BAAR with positiveness of 4,9% for diagnosis, 1,2% for treatment control and 1,0% for the ones without information regarding the diagnosis item or treatment control. 7.603(14,3%) cultures were grown, with isolation of micobacteria taking place in 1.134 (14,9%); 13,2% for diagnosis, 1,4% for treatment control and 0,3% for the ones lacking information. 936 heathers belonging to Mycobacterium tuberculosis
complex and 48 belonging do M. avium complex were identified. The profile of sensitiveness of 381 heathers of M. tuberculosis showed that 78% were sensitive to tested drugs used and 22% resisted at least one drug. That data analyses have contributed to the realizations of the Tuberculosis Control
Program, helping to determining the epidemiological profile of the illness in the Campinas region and involved DIRs.
