Abstract:
This is a Research and Extension project in the line of action Alcohol,
crack and other drugs. The research scenario is the UBSF in Bairro Ramadinha II,
located in the city of Campina Grande - PB. This choice was made because it was
of a unit located close to a needy community with a high rate of
of violence in the municipality and a well-known place for the use and sale of narcotics, where
difficulties faced by health professionals during the
treatment and in relation to the investigation of contacts of patients with TB,
especially in drug users. UBSF also presented,
for the years 2007 to 2009 an average incidence of TB greater than 100 cases per
100,000 inhabitants according to SINAN-TB data. Our line of research is
objective to seek and verify the prevalence of tuberculosis among alcohol users,
crack and other drugs in users of the UBSF in the Ramadinha II neighborhood of Campina
Grande and the implications in the treatment of tuberculosis (TB). In our research
we found a prevalence of 12% in relation to those who underwent the test
diagnosis and 7.89% of the total sample (Respiratory Symptomatic), which
demonstrates a higher percentage value than that found with the national perspective
which is 1.67% (95%CI 0.70-3.90). However, it is worth mentioning that our population in
absolute terms is small, and there is no way to reliably relate the
prevalences found in both studies. There is a dearth of national data
that corroborate with the researched topic. We conclude that more is needed
large-scale studies to increase the inference power of our research.
