RESUMO

In this retrospective study we asses the molecular epidemiological situation of Tuberculosis of the city of Caracas, Venezuela in the year 1994, applying IS6110 DNA Fingerprinting of clinical isolates. Fingerprinting of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains of sixty-four patients TB patients from all the 5 districts of the city revealed fifty-one distinct IS6110 patterns. Isolates from 20 patients (30%) had fingerprints that were shared with at least one other patient. Based on this sampling we conclude that at least a third of the tuberculosis cases in Caracas in the year 1994 were the result of recent and ongoing transmission, indicating micro-epidemics in the town.
