Resumen

PEREZ CRUZ, Hayvin et al. Mycobacterium avium intracellulare complex pulmonary disease species and therapeutic match. Rev Cubana Med Trop [online]. 2013, vol.65, n.1, pp.57-65. ISSN 0375-0760.

Introduction: the global concern about diseases caused by environmental mycobacteria is growing since their diagnosis and treatment are difficult. Objectives: to determine the behavior of Mycobacterium avium intracellulare complex pulmonary disease, and the therapeutic match with the treatment given at Benéfico Jurídico Pneumological Hospital, during the 2000-2010 period. Methods: a retrospective descriptive study of 55 patients diagnosed with the disease, who met the previously defined inclusion/exclusion criteria. The diagnostic registration trend was based on the linear correlation coefficient; the qualitative quantitative discrete variables used frequency distributions with percentage calculations and their respective 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: a decreasing trend in the diagnosis of pulmonary disease from Mycobacterium avium-intracellular complex species; 47.3 % of the studied patients aged 50 to 69 years. Most of the group had no occupation with epidemiological risk, and the pulmonary comorbidity was detected in 97.9 % of patients, mainly pulmonary tuberculosis. A mismatch between the received therapy and the recommended treatment by the American Thoracic Society (ATS) was proved in 100% of patients. Conclusion: the introduction of a therapeutic program adapted to the internationally accepted standards of treatment is a must for the care of this group of patients in Benefico Juridico Hospital.
