Abstract

Introduction: COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in disruptions in delivery of Tuberculosis services especially, in resource-limited settings. Provisional data by the WHO from 84 countries indicates that about 1.4 million fewer people received care for tuberculosis in 2020 than in 2019. This study assessed the effect of COVID-19 pandemic on tuberculosis case notification rates in Ogun state, Nigeria Methods: A retrospective review of presumptive TB and diagnosed TB cases that were notified in 2019 and 2020. Analysis was done using Epi-info version 7.2.3.1. Level of statistical significance was p < 0.05 Results: A total of 3102 and 3326 confirmed cases were reported in 2019 and 2020 respectively with an increase of 7.2%. There was significant decline in total number of cases notified in Q2, 2020 compared to 2019 (p=0.001) with a significant increase in proportion of TB cases notified by private facilities from 11.65% in 2019 to 20.27% in 2020. Conclusion: Total TB cases notified in Ogun state increased during the covid-19 pandemic. There was significant decline in TB cases during the lockdown but an increase in proportion of TB cases notified by private facilities demonstrating that private facilities can withstand disruptions to TB case notifications due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Keywords: Tuberculosis; COVID-19; case notification; private-public mix; private sector.

2019冠状病毒病大流行对尼日利亚奥贡州结核病病例通报的影响

导言:COVID-19大流行导致结核病服务的提供中断，特别是在资源有限的环境中。世卫组织来自84个国家的临时数据表明，与2019年相比，2020年接受结核病治疗的人数减少了约140万人。本研究评估了2019冠状病毒病大流行对尼日利亚奥贡州结核病病例通报率的影响方法:回顾性分析2019年和2020年报告的推定结核病和诊断结核病病例。使用Epi-info版本7.2.3.1进行分析。p <0.05 & # x0D;结果:2019年报告确诊病例3102例，2020年报告确诊病例3326例，同比增长7.2%。与2019年相比，2020年第二季度报告的结核病病例总数显著下降(p=0.001)，私营机构报告的结核病病例比例从2019年的11.65%显著增加到2020年的20.27%。结论:在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间，奥贡州报告的结核病病例总数有所增加。在封锁期间，结核病病例显著下降，但私营机构通报的结核病病例比例有所增加，这表明私营机构能够承受因Covid-19大流行而中断的结核病病例通报。关键词:结核病;COVID-19;通知;公私混合;私人部门。
