Zika virus infection has attracted attention of the world population, being reported in many countries / territories. The Zika vírus (ZIKV; genus Flavivirus, family Flaviviridae) is a pathogen globally transmitted by emerging mosquitoes (arboviruses) of the genus Aedes spp. Recently in Brazil, the Ministry of Health confirmed the association between ZIKV and microcephaly outbreak in the Northeast, however, is not clear in the studies the pathogenesis of this process, which led us to conduct a review in databases Pubmed, Medline and Lilacs. The literature reports that the clinical manifestations of ZIKV infection are very similar to infections such as dengue and chikungunya, but usually milder and without deaths, however, the absence of specific commercial serological tests for ZIKV, makes infection a clinical challenge in diagnosis. The association of ZIKV with microcephaly is initially related to the first three months of pregnancy and leads to neurological complications that when does not result in death, causes severe functional limitations accompanied by changes in neuropsychomotor development. Because of the increased number of cases of microcephaly associated with ZIKV infection reported in Brazil, further discussions should be carried out.
Introdução: O equilíbrio corporal pode ser afetado por déficits visuais, proprioceptivos e/ou vestibulares centrais ou periféricas. Dentre as afecções vestibulares periféricos, a Vertigem Postural Paroxística Benigna apresenta grande interesse em pesquisas que buscam responder suas apresentações clínicas em adultos e sua associação com a integralidade dos demais sistemas corporais. Objetivo: Analisar as respostas de adultos jovens assintomáticos submetidos à semiologia do sistema vestibular. Metodologia: Estudo quantitativo, transversal analítico e descritivo, onde foram utilizados os testes de equilíbrio estático, dinâmico e a manobra de Dix-Hallpike, com amostra de 30 voluntários assintomáticos recrutados em uma instituição de ensino superior do município de Parnaíba/PI. Resultados: O teste de apoio unipodal (1,87 ± 0,346) foi negativo (p < 0,001) e no teste de Fukuda (1,20 ± 0,407) grande parte tiveram resultados positivos (p < 0,001). Os testes de Romberg (2,00 ± 0,000), Romberg-Barré (1,50 ± 0,509) e Babinski-Weil (1,37 ± 0,490) não foram significantes (p = 0,001). Para a Manobra de Dix-Hallpike observamos que os movimentos de sedestação para decúbito dorsal esquerdo e de decúbito dorsal para sedestação direito e esquerdo foram significativos (p < 0,001). Conclusão: Os adultos jovens assintomáticos podem apresentar resultados positivos em teste de equilíbrio e sintomas na manobra de Dix-Hallpike, confirmando a Vertigem Postural Paroxística Benigna.Palavras-chave: doenças vestibulares, equilíbrio postural, testes de função vestibular.
