Tech/Engineering - Computers: Systems, Networks / Computer module for monitoring tuberculosis in Bolivia
Spanish term or phrase: Escritorio SICTB
This paragraph is about software for monitoring multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB in English) in Bolivia. I asked a C# programmer, and he didn't have a clue. As a guess, I've translated it as ***SIC-TB Desktop**. I'd be thrilled if anyone can find some information on it.

Source text: Apoyo al sistema de información del programa tuberculosis, con asistencia técnica para el desarrollo de un modulo de TB MDR (Tuberculosis Multi Drogo Resistente), con el desarrollo de términos de referencia y contratación de un profesional en informática, se ingresaron registros de la gestión 2008, para validar tanto pacientes y variables incorporadas en el cuaderno, en el cual se pudo evidenciar la inconsistencia de los reportes procesados manualmente, errores de conteo y asociación de variables, Se desarrollaron los manuales y especificaciones de los cambios estructurales, así mismo como la Estructura y Diccionario de datos, la versión Preliminar en medio Digital CD Instalador. Se modificó la Base de Datos, para la reutilización de tablas, procedimientos almacenados y vistas y se desarrollo el instalador de la nueva versión incluyendo el modulo TB MDR en lenguaje de programación C#.NET, para el sistema de **Escritorio SICTB** con reportes en EXCEL así como modificaciones en Crystal Report.

Explanation:
SIC could mean "Sistema Informático Centralizado" - but since I don't "do " acronyms, I'm posting a low confidence level.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi Neil, Thanks, I like your suggestion. I've heard about your position on abbreviations before, and I've commented on it elsewhere. Unfortunately, none of my clients would accept that. I mainly work for international organizations, and their texts are one long alphabet soup. It's part of our job.

Asker: P.S. I also find that knowing what an abbreviation stands for can make a big difference in my translation of the sentence.
