Disruptions in tuberculosis services have been reported around the world since emergence of COVID-19 pandemic. However, pandemic's effect on preventive treatment (TPT) has poorly explored. We compared TPT-notified prescriptions and outcomes before during pandemic Brazil. Retrospective cohort using secondary data from Brazilian TPT information system five cities with over 1000 notifications. The number was analysed 6 months after healthcare workers' training, 2018, to July 2021. proportion by...

Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading infectious disease cause of death worldwide. In recent years, stringent measures to contain spread SARS-CoV-2 have led considerable disruptions healthcare services for TB in many countries. The extent which these affected testing, treatment initiation and outcomes has not been comprehensively assessed. We aimed estimate service occurring during COVID-19 pandemic Brazil, India, South Africa. obtained country-level programme laboratory data used autoregressive...

Almost 200,000 deaths from COVID-19 were reported in Brazil 2020. The case fatality rate of a new infectious disease can vary by different risk factors and over time. We analysed the trends associated rates Brazilian public hospital admissions during first wave pandemic.A retrospective cohort all COVID-19-related between epidemiological weeks 10-40 Public Health System (SUS) was delimited available reimbursement records.

Background In Brazil, many individuals with tuberculosis (TB) do not receive appropriate care due to delayed or missed diagnosis, ineffective treatment regimens, loss-to-follow-up. This study aimed estimate the health losses and TB program costs attributable each gap in cascade for disease Brazil. Methods findings We constructed a Markov model simulating lifetime outcomes (e.g., death, cure, postinfectious sequelae) developing stratified by age, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) status,...

Individuals who were formerly incarcerated have high tuberculosis incidence, but are generally not considered among the risk groups eligible for prevention. We investigated potential health impact and cost-effectiveness of Mycobacterium infection screening preventive treatment (TPT) individuals in Brazil.

Abstract Background Malaria causes 400 thousand deaths worldwide annually. In 2018, 25% (187,693) of the total malaria cases in Americas were Brazil, with nearly all (99%) Brazilian Amazon region. The Bolsa Família Programme (BFP) is a conditional cash transfer (CCT) programme launched 2003 to reduce poverty and has led improvements health outcomes. CCT programmes may burden by alleviating promoting access healthcare, however this relationship underexplored. This study investigated...

Reliable subnational estimates of TB incidence would allow national policy makers to focus disease control resources in areas highest need. We developed an approach for generating small area incidence, and the fraction individuals missed by routine case detection, based on available notification mortality data. demonstrate feasibility this creating municipality-level burden Brazil. a mathematical model describing relationship between notifications deaths, allowing known biases each these...

Abstract: Brazil was heavily affected by COVID-19 both with death toll and economically, absence of a centralized Federal Government response. Tuberculosis (TB) notifications decreased in 2020 but partial recovery observed 2021. We have previously shown sharp (93%) reduction TB preventive treatment among five Brazilian cities more than 1,000 hypothesized would also recover. updated the previous analysis adding other that hold until 2022.
