ABSTRACT

Objectives. The identification of TB cases and sociodemographic variables, disease development, risk factors, method for diagnosis, and the attack and lethality rates.
Materials and methods. A descriptive and transversal study conducted at the correctional facility Centro de Readaptación Social (CERESO) in the city of Tijuana, B.C. Mexico, dating from February 1999 to March 2000.
Results. In a population of 5,375 interns, 132 were notified of having TB. 1. Demographic data: the average age is 28 years old, 83% age between 25-44 years old; 93.94% are males; 40.15% of them were economically active before incarceration. 2. Risk factors: 7.58% HIV/AIDS, 90.91% drug use, and 1-2% other factors. 3. Disease development: 75% have a confirmed diagnosis, 93.94% have pulmonary disease, 96.21% are new cases, 96.97% were detected at the initial treatment level, 67.42% positive suspect, and 32.58% were identified through a contact study. Average: 21 months after admittance into the center until confirmed diagnosis. An average of 4.71 interns per cell. 4. Method of diagnosis: 66.67% positive BAAR smear on sputum culture, 6.82% culture, 1.52% histopathology, 22.73% clinical-epidemiological and 2.27% clinical-radiological. 5. Attack and lethality rates: 2.46 attack and 4.55 lethality.
Conclusion. Tuberculosis at CERESO is a health problem that requires implementing an intervention strategy whose success depends on the coordinated effort between the local TB program and the health services at the CERESO.
