Resumen
COTIAS, Paulo Marcelo T.. Procedimentos em biossegurança na tuberculose. Bol. Pneumol. Sanit. [online]. 2001, vol.9, n.2, pp.65-67. ISSN 0103-460X.
Evaluation indicates that Biological Security strategies to deal with tuberculosis are practically identical to the ones in used in the rest of the infectious diseases. It is important to create and to implement a new philosophy on biosafety in each health unit, through continued education for all health professionals who work in the unit, without exception. The new strategies for Biological and Ambient Security must be incorporated in the routine, not only in the patient related activities, but in all areas, such as in and out-patients units, laboratory, pharmacy, nutrition, including until the cleanness actions. Using the Individual Equipment of Protection is a form of defense against contamination and work-related accidents. Being aware of the new methodologies and prophylactic actions makes medical work secure and successful, preserving the patient-health professional relationship
