Objective: To determine the characteristics of tuberculosis among healthcare personnel in health facilities in the Callao Region. Materials and Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted. The study population consisted of all healthcare personnel diagnosed with tuberculosis while working in health facilities during the period 2013–2015. Of 48 registered cases, 41 met the study criteria. Results: A total of 43.9% (n=18) were nursing technicians, followed by nursing and administrative staff. More than 90% of those affected worked in hospital settings. Pulmonary tuberculosis was present in 65.9% (n=27) of cases. Regarding environmental conditions, 46.3% (n=19) reported working in enclosed spaces and 34.1% (n=14) reported overcrowding. Concerning the use of N95 respirators, 46.3% (n=19) did not use them, while 31.7% (n=13) used them sporadically. Regarding harmful habits, 61% (n=25) reported alcohol consumption and 36.6% (n=15) tobacco use. Among comorbidities, diabetes mellitus and depression were the most frequent, present in 34.1% (n=14) and 17.1% (n=7), respectively. Conclusions: Tuberculosis among healthcare personnel primarily affects nursing technicians working in hospital settings. A high proportion of healthcare workers were found to be noncompliant with protective measures.Downloads
