Epidemiological Situation

In the conditions of an unfavorable epidemiological situation for tuberculosis in the Perm Region, there was a decrease in the coverage of preventive examinations for tuberculosis in 2020 due to restrictive measures related to the pandemic of a new coronavirus infection. One in five mothers of those who were not vaccinated with the BCG vaccine refused to carry it out. In order to study the knowledge about tuberculosis among women of the Perm Region, a survey was conducted of 108 residents of the Perm Region in 2019, 135 women in 2021 and 22 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in 2021. The average age of the respondents was 40.2 years in 2019 and 37.8 years in 2021, among patients with pulmonary tuberculosis - 39.6 years. There is a fairly good knowledge about tuberculosis, about the need for an annual examination by Mantoux test methods, fluorography. Knowledge about the safety of BCG vaccination in the Perm Region among respondents increased from 2019 to 2021, as well as knowledge about the properties of the vaccine, allowed to reduce the negative opinion about it. From 2019 to 2021, there is a clear trend of increasing knowledge about the safety of the Mantoux sample. Despite the knowledge about fluorography, every fifth fluorography has not been performed for 2 or more years. The study allowed us to draw conclusions about the need to strengthen measures aimed at prevention, treatment and propaganda.

Pulmonary tuberculosis is a major health problem in Bangladesh that is responsible for about 7% of total death in a year. This study was conducted to isolate and identify Mycobacterium tuberculosis from sputum and to evaluate the efficacy of PCR as a modern diagnostic tool, for diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis, especially in the smear negative cases. One hundred and fifty suspected pulmonary TB patients (male/ female: 97/53) were included in this study. Single morning sputum was collected from each patient and diagnostic potential of PCR was compared with staining and culture. Twenty five (16.7%) sputum were positive by ZN stained smear. Among 125 smear negative samples, 13 (10.4%) yielded growth in culture in LJ media and 21 (16.8%) samples were positive by PCR. The sensitivity and specificity of PCR in smear negative cases was 100% and 92.9% respectively. Mean detection time in PCR was 24 hours. PCR detected M. tuberculosis in 21 smear negative and 9 culture negative samples. For diagnosis of tuberculosis in smear negative cases, PCR directly from sputum was a very sensitive and accurate method. In conclusion, PCR may be done, especially in clinically suspected pulmonary tuberculosis patients who remain negative by conventional methods.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjmm.v6i2.19368 Bangladesh J Med Microbiol 2012; 06(02): 2-6
