Locally, the Ministry of Public Health reports that 54 cases were filled in 2011, 45 cases in 2012, and 48 cases in 2013. From this background, a descriptive study of cross section was performed to determine the cases of Tuberculosis by identifying Respiratory Symptomatic people in Zalapa and Motupe neighborhoods. The universe was conformed by 810 individuals to interview, whose sample was of 97 people with respiratory symptoms identified. To identify the respiratory symptomatic citizens, home visits where made, followed by the application of an interview. Once the symptomatic respiratory individual was identified, 2 sputum samples were taken to determine the presence of Koch bacillus by bacilloscopy. Once the results were obtained, a survey was conducted to find out the risk factors associated with developing tuberculosis. The results showed that the identified respiratory symptomatic people corresponded to 11.98% of the studied population; Koch bacillus was presented in 9.28% of the respiratory symptomatic citizens. From the tuberculosis analysis, the higher percentage was presented in men with 66.67% and in females with the 33.33%; according to age, the highest percentage corresponds to those with 65 years old and over with 44.44%, followed by ages 20 to 34 with 22,22%; 35 to 49 years with 22.22% and 50 to 64 years with 11,12%. The associated risk factors for the development of tuberculosis in patients with positive diagnosis were the low socioeconomic status (poverty) and the presence of respiratory diseases with 100%, followed by poor ventilation and comorbidities with 66.67%, alcoholism with 44.44%, contact with people with Tuberculosis at 33.33% and overcrowding and drugs with 22.22% and 11.11% respectively. Keywords: Tuberculosis, respiratory symptomatic people, bacilloscopy, risk factors. |
