Enquête sur la tuberculose

The survey consisted of 12 questions, with responses ranging from 0 (no) to 1 (yes) or 99 (do not know). Initial assessments revealed that 1% of respondents reported experiencing a cough lasting more than two weeks, while 0.5% reported coughing up blood. These symptoms were identified as potential indicators of TB. Further analysis showed that 2.5% of respondents reported experiencing chest pain, shortness of breath, or night sweats over the past three months. Additionally, 1.5% reported experiencing weight loss, loss of appetite, fatigue, or fever. A history of TB was reported by 0.2% of respondents, with 0.1% having been previously treated for the disease. The majority of respondents (99.8%) reported not having been treated for TB. The survey also inquired about household and family members with TB, with 0.5% of respondents reporting a positive history. Recent contact with someone suspected of having TB was reported by 0.2% of respondents. Based on the survey results, individuals who reported coughing for more than two weeks, coughing up blood, or experiencing symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or night sweats were referred for a comprehensive medical evaluation, including TB testing through sputum analysis. Those who tested positive were referred for preventive therapy IPT evaluation.
