to evaluate the risk of infection and illness caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis among health care and security staff in prisons in two regions of Rio Grande do Sul (RS).
cross-sectional study involving prison staff. An interview and sputum smear microscopy and culture were performed. Latent infection was evaluated according to the result of the tuberculin test (TT), self-referred.
among staff who had a TT, 10 (83.3%) in the central region and 2 (16.7%) in the southern region were considered reactors. Length of employment among prison officers who reacted to TT was 15.3 years, and among health care workers, 4.1 years (p = 0.01). No cases of active tuberculosis (TB) were identified.
prevalence of latent TB was 27.9%. Length of employment between different professional categories and their working regions was considered a risk factor for latent TB.
评估巴西南部南里奥格兰德州(RS)两个地区监狱的医护人员和安保人员感染结核分枝杆菌及患病的风险。
对监狱工作人员进行横断面研究。进行了访谈、痰涂片显微镜检查和培养。根据自行报告的结核菌素试验(TT)结果评估潜伏感染情况。
在进行了TT检测的工作人员中,中部地区有10人(83.3%)、南部地区有2人(16.7%)被视为反应者。对TT有反应的狱警工作年限为15.3年,医护人员为4.1年(p = 0.01)。未发现活动性结核病(TB)病例。
潜伏性结核病的患病率为27.9%。不同职业类别及其工作地区之间的工作年限被认为是潜伏性结核病的一个风险因素。
