For the diagnosis and treatment of TB, the province has 12 outpatient units, some of which are linked to municipal hospitals. In these units, pulmonary TB diagnosis is based on sputum microscopy performed on three patient-provided samples, clinical history and chest radiography. For extrapulmonary TB (EPTB), the diagnosis is based on microscopy of biological products depending on the infected organ or only on the symptoms of the disease, the clinical history and the radiography, at the doctor's discretion. Patients with criteria for hospitalization due to complications of TB or requiring further intervention are referred to the sanatorium hospital, since it is the reference unit.

Though most patients (78.9%) lived in the Huambo municipality, we cannot say whether the demand for these units is attributable to patients living in rural or urban areas. Although the number of patients that consulted the health center (17%) and traditional healer (5%) is low, there is a longer delay time. Similar results were also verified in the previous study in Luanda. This was also confirmed in previous studies, where longer diagnosis delays were obtained when private healthcare facilities and traditional healers,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0200"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">11,12,17,24,26</span></a> were the first healthcare unit used.

It was performed in an area with insufficient resources. Patients who appeared at the weekend were not questioned.

However, despite the fact that the excluded patients differ in their smoking habits, literary qualifications and first healthcare unit used, there were no differences between the two groups in any of the other analyzed variables that were significant in the diagnosis delay. We cannot exclude memory bias in the responses. We assume that the delay time was calculated based on the dates declared by the patients, which may have been subject to error.</p><p id="par0160" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Despite the limitations presented, the strengths of this study are relevant.

To reduce delays and improve access to health care, efforts should be made to expand public health institutions in rural communities, to decentralize health services. The government, via Ministry of Health, should create policies involving the private sector in TB care. This will provide a key basis for TB control and health coverage for people living in areas of poor access. The community should also be informed on how to recognize the symptoms of TB through lectures, and healthcare professionals should be better trained, in order to reduce the patient's delay time until diagnosis and initiate treatment as early as possible, interrupting TB transmission.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0280"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">27</span></a> Although sputum microscopy is the favoured method used in the province, new diagnostic techniques like Xpert MTB/Rifampin should be implemented, because they contribute to the rapid diagnosis and effective detection of TB disease and drug resistance.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0285"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">28,29</span></a></p></span><span id="sec0070" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0100">Conflicts of interest</span><p id="par0170" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors have no conflicts of interest to declare.</p></span></span>" "textoCompletoSecciones" => array:1 [ "secciones" => array:10 [ 0 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "xres1090340" "titulo" => "Abstract" "secciones" => array:4 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0005" "titulo" => "Introduction" ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0010" "titulo" => "Material and methods" ] 2 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0015" "titulo" => "Results" ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0020" "titulo" => "Conclusions" ] ] ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xpalclavsec1033633" "titulo" => "Keywords" ] 2 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0005" "titulo" => "Introduction" ] 3 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "sec0010" "titulo" => "Methodology" "secciones" => array:3 [ 0 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "sec0015" "titulo" => "Study design" "secciones" => array:4 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0020" "titulo" => "Inclusion and exclusion criteria" ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0025" "titulo" => "Place of study" ] 2 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0030" "titulo" => "Data collection" ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0035" "titulo" => "Sample" ] ] ] 1 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "sec0040" "titulo" => "Definition of variables" "secciones" => array:1 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0045" "titulo" => "Statistical analysis" ] ] ] 2 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0050" "titulo" => "Ethics approval" ] ] ] 4 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0055" "titulo" => "Results" ] 5 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0060" "titulo" => "Discussion" ] 6 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0065" "titulo" => "Conclusion" ] 7 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0070" "titulo" => "Conflicts of interest" ] 8 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xack370370" "titulo" => "Acknowledgements" ] 9 => array:1 [ "titulo" => "References" ] ] ] "pdfFichero" => "main.pdf" "tienePdf" => true "fechaRecibido" => "2017-03-08" "fechaAceptado" => "2017-10-08" "PalabrasClave" => array:1 [ "en" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "clase" => "keyword" "titulo" => "Keywords" "identificador" => "xpalclavsec1033633" "palabras" => array:4 [ 0 => "Tuberculosis" 1 => "Diagnosis" 2 => "Associated factors" 3 => "Huambo" ] ] ] ] "tieneResumen" => true "resumen" => array:1 [ "en" => array:3 [ "titulo" => "Abstract" "resumen" => "<span id="abst0005" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0010">Introduction</span><p id="spar0005" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">Early diagnosis is necessary for the success of the tuberculosis (TB) program.
