%X Aunque las cifras de tuberculosis en Cuba se mantienen entre las m芍s bajas de Am谷rica y Europa, su tendencia descendente se invirti車 a partir de 1992, y tuvieron lugar brotes de peque a magnitud, principalmente en pacientes VIH. Con el prop車sito de evaluar algunos indicadores cl赤nico-epidemiol車gicos revisamos 86 Historias cl赤nicas de pacientes notificados como tuberculosos por el hospital del IPK durante el per赤odo 1994-95. Finalmente se evaluaron los 68 que fueron egresados con este diagn車stico. Para el an芍lisis estad赤stico se utilizaron los programas EpiInfo-6 y Microsta. El mayor n迆mero de casos ocurri車 en el 1er trimestre de 1994. Predominaron las edades j車venes (m = 32 a os) y el sexo masculino (67,6 %), as赤 como los casos nuevos (91,1 %) y la forma cl赤nica pulmonar (91,2 %). Predomin車 el diagn車stico cl赤nico-radiol車gico (54,4 %), y por examen directo se pudieron diagnosticar 2 de cada 3 pacientes con TB pulmonar. El 50 % de los casos VIH curs車 sin manifestaciones radiol車gicas. Although the figures of tuberculosis in Cuba are among the lowest in America and Europe, its decreasing trend changed from 1992 on and there have been outbreaks of small magnitude, mainly in HIV patients. 86 medical histories of tuberculous patients reported by the hospital of the Institute of Tropical Medicine from 1994 to 1 995 were reviewed aimed at evaluating some clinical and epidemiological indicators. Finally, 68 that were discharged whit this diagnosis were evaluated. The EpiInfo-6 and Microsta programs were used in the statistical analysis. The highest number of cases was observed in the first trimester of 1994. Young ages (m = 32 years old) and males (67,6 %) predominated, as well as the new cases (91 %) and the clinical pulmonary form (91,2 %). The clinical and radiological examination prevailed (54,4 %). 2 out of 3 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis were diagnosed by direct examination. 50 % of the HIV cases had no radiological manifestations.
