Resumo
Among the years of 1997 and 2000,4.975 cases of tuberculosis in the state of
Goias, Brasil were recorded. From them, 152 patients under specific
treatment (3,0%), were followed with culture for mycobacterias and test of
susceptibility to antituberculous drugs. In 214 samples analyzed, the only
species isolated was Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In 128 cases it was not
possible to detect the time for reporting results. The strains from 80 patients
(52,6%) showed susceptibility to all tested drugs. Among these patients, 31
had already been treated for tuberculosis in the past. Among patients with resistant strains, 66 (43,3 %) showed resistance to one or more drugs of the
scheme 1. The simultaneous resistance to three drugs occurred in 17 patients.
It was possible to characterize the co-infection with HIV in only 48 cases,
being 19 seropositives.
