RESUMEN
Las pandemias siempre han perturbado los sistemas de atención de salud, incluida la prevención y el control de enfermedades endémicas. Esta alteración ha dado lugar a un aumento de la carga de enfermedad en los períodos posteriores a una pandemia. La crisis de salud y económica creada por la actual pandemia COVID-19, así como las medidas de salud pública para detener su propagación, pueden tener un impacto en la transmisión, diagnóstico, tratamiento, prevención y control de la tuberculosis (TBC). Los niños son un grupo vulnerable especialmente propenso a sufrir parte del daño. Es necesario recuperar cuanto antes las actividades de pesquisa, diagnóstico y tratamiento de la TBC de manera de disminuir el impacto que la pandemia por Covid19 tendrá en la morbimortalidad por TBC.
ABSTRACT
Pandemics have always disrupted health care systems, including the prevention and control of endemic diseases. This alteration has led to an increased burden of disease in the aftermath of a pandemic. The health and economic crisis created by the current COVID-19 pandemic, as well as public health measures to stop its spread, may have an impact on the transmission, diagnosis, treatment, prevention and control of tuberculosis. Children are a vulnerable group especially prone to suffering as part of the harm. It is necessary to recover as soon as possible the activities of investigation, diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis in order to reduce the impact that the Covid19 pandemic will have on TB morbidity and mortality.
