• Abstract:

  Tuberculosis (TB)is considered a public health problem. In 2015, theWorld

  Health Organization (WHO) estimated the occurrence of 480,000 cases of multidrugresistant TB (MDR-TB) and was considered a challenge to control the disease. In

  2015, the systematic monitoring of cases of resistant tuberculosis (TBDR) reported

  from Recife residents was implemented, aiming to identify the profile, monitor and

  follow the cases diagnosed with TBDR, to promote surveillance actions and attention

  to the control of the disease. Data from resistant tuberculosis cases are consolidated

  and analyzed in a critical way, subsidizing the planning of interventions such as: home

  visits, meeting with health unit professionals to discuss cases and identify cases to

  be discussed in meetings with the tertiary network. In the period from January 2015

  to May 2018, 101 cases of TBDR were reported. 60.4% (61) of the cases are male,

  62.3% (63) of the cases are between 25-54 years old, 68.3% (69) have been tested

  for HIV, and of these 14.5% (10 ) were positive. There were 61 home visits and 17

  case discussion meetings with the primary care network and tertiary referrals. TB DR

  in Recife remains a challenge to control the disease. The resistant patient has greater

  difficulty adhering to the treatment, eventually transmitting the resistant form, being of

  extreme importance coping actions for the proper handling of the care and surveillance

  of the cases.
