摘要
Objectives. - To specify consequences of armed conflict in Cate d'Ivoire from 2002 to 2007 on treatment outcomes of new cases of smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB+) and retreatment cases. Methodology. - Retrospective analysis of treatment outcomes and reprocessing notified to the National Program against Tuberculosis from 2001 to 2008. Results. - Totally, 7,4232 cases of TPM+ and 5094 cases of reprocessing had been declared during the war period in Cote d'Ivoire. The global average rate of therapeutic success was 72% with a lower average rate of success in retreatment in Center, Northern et Western (CNO) zone (54%) than in Southern zone (73%). The average rate of lost sight was higher in CNO zone than in the South with respectively 27% and 11%. The average rate of success in retreatment was 60% on the national level with a lower rate in CNO zone (48%) than in the South zone (62%) and the average rate of lost sight in retreatment was higher in CNO zone than in the South zone (28% versus 16%). Conclusion. - Our results show that there was no early epidemic of tuberculosis during the armed conflict in Cote d'Ivoire which has although severely disrupted activities of tuberculosis management in ex-nongovernmental zone.
