Abstract in Portuguese
O presente trabalho estuda algumas características epidemiológicas de 241 casos de Meningite tuberculosa de pessoas residentes na Grande São Paulo, nos anos de 1982 e 1983. O levantamento de casos foi realizado no Centro de Investigações de Saúde e outras fontes oficiais de informação e complementado pela visitação domiciliária que representou um recurso inestimável para o esclarecimento dos dados. Os casos foram analisados por região de residência, aspectos individuais, núcleos familiares, história da doença, hospitalização, seqüência de tratamento e conhecimento sobre a doença. Os resultados identificam condições insatisfatórias de vida na maioria da população, demora no diagnóstico por falhas assistenciais, alta letalidade hospitalar e desconhecimento do modo de transmissão e prevenção da tuberculose pela maioria das pessoas entrevistadas. O grupo de menores de 5 anos de idade foi o mais comprometido pela ocorrência de seqüelas e, a maior letalidade oi na faixa de 7-12 meses. Ao final do estudo, houve 45,7 por cento de cura, 27,8 por cento de óbito, 13,3 por cento de abandono. Em 13,2 por cento dos casos, alguns permaneciam em observação e outros desconhecidos pelo sistema de controle de notificações.
