  1. GOOD MORNING

  2. JR 2 GENDER DIFFERENTIAL OF PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS TRANSMISSION & REACTIVATION IN AN ENDEMIC AREA BY Dr. MEILAND TINA J.D.S SUPERVISOR Dr. HILALUDDIN SEMBIRING, DTM&H, SpP

  3. BACKGROUND LOW INCOME COUNTRY ♂>♀ TUBERCULOSIS • Identify gender based differences in patients with • Pulmonary Tb • 2. Use this information to improve • Tb control efforts. A I M

  4. METODSStudy Population and Enrolment 12 municipalities 618.11 km² 369.235 inhabitants 14.9% in rural Orizaba Health Jurisdiction Veracruz State Mexico STUDY AREA

  5. PASSIVE case finding PARTICIPANT TREATMENT (Mexico’s national TB control program) COUGH>15 days M Tb(+) sputum Evaluated (SQ,PE,RÖ,HIV Test) March 1995-April 2003

  6. Mycobacteriology and Genotyping Susceptibility Testing Mycobacterium Ziehl Neelsen Staining Species Identification Culture Standard Insertion Sequence IS6110 RFLP GenotypicAnalysis

  7. Statistical Analysis Sociodemographic Bivariate & Multivariate Clinical Characteristic Behavioral

  8. RESULT PARTICIPANT (n=8195) AFB M Tb (+) n= 829, 10.1% ♀ (n=4569) ♂ (n=3626) Sputum sample (n=3067, 84.6%) Sputum sample (n=3948, 86.4%) Mycobacteriological Culture n= 623, 75.1% PULMONARY TB

  9. DISCUSSION • By using molecular epidemiological techniques, we further determined that higher rates among men are the result of both reactivation of latent infection and of recent Tb transmission. • Public health strategies that aim to reduce Tb will need to address both disease processes. • Data indicating higher Tb rates for men, particularly when obtained from developing countries, have been highly controversial and often been attributed to gender based differences in access to health care.

  10. Differences in Tb rates have also been attributed to biological phenomena. • The higher ratesof pulmonary Tb among the men in our study are partially explained by the local transmission dynamics, particularly in crowded, poorly ventilated or nosocomial settings. • There were significant differences in outcomes of anti-tuberculosis treatment between men and women, although all to be treated with DOTS, men were more likely to default from treatment. The behavior patterns of non-adherent male patients have amply described.

  11. CONCLUSION • Higher rates of transmitted and reactivated disease and poorer treatment outcomes among men are indicators of gender differentials in the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary Tb, and suggest specific strategies in endemic settings. • The result of our study support the need to devise and implement Tb control strategies to block further Tb transmission, including better case finding and confirmation that each Tb patient is cured. • Our data also show that increased screening and treatment of latent infection will be needed to decrease the incidence of reactivated disease.
