| Popis: | This was descriptive study carried out in a medium-sized Brazilian city. In ≤ 15-year-old contacts of index cases of active pulmonary tuberculosis, we assessed compliance with the Brazilian national guidelines for tuberculosis control. We interviewed 43 contacts and their legal guardians. Approximately 80% of the contacts were not assessed by the municipal public health care system, and only 21% underwent tuberculin skin testing. The results obtained with the Chi-square Automatic Interaction Detector method suggest that health care teams have a biased attitude toward assessing such contacts and underscore the need for training health professionals regarding tuberculosis control programs. Estudo descritivo realizado em uma cidade de médio porte no Brasil. Em contatos ≤ 15 anos de casos índices de tuberculose pulmonar ativa, avaliamos o cumprimento das etapas do manual de recomendações para o controle da tuberculose no Brasil. Foram entrevistados 43 contatos e seus responsáveis legais. Aproximadamente 80% deles não foram avaliados pelo sistema de saúde pública municipal e apenas 21% realizaram a prova tuberculínica. Os resultados obtidos pelo método Chi-square Automatic Interaction Detector sugerem que as equipes de saúde têm uma postura tendenciosa quanto à avaliação desses contatos e ressaltam a necessidade de capacitação desses profissionais na adequada abordagem dos contatos no âmbito de programas de controle da tuberculose. |
