There is little information dog bite related trauma epidemiology in Brazil even though this is a frequent trauma in Emergency Unit and the most important cause for rabies transmission in humans. Most of the dog bites and the costs of its attendances and hospitalizations could be avoided through educative and preventive actions. We investigated how type of injury, bite location, age of the victim, dog's breed and the attacking dog correlate in a developing country. This study suggests that younger children are at high risk for injuries, the majority are bites on head, accidentally motivated by housed, healthy and familiar dogs. Educational awareness of people about the risk of dog bites and rabies is necessary. Parental education and supervision are the most important action to prevent severe dog bite injuries.
(PQ), Raísa Uzun (IC). Resumo Mutações no gene da JAK2 no éxon 16, no códon 683 (R683) e no 617 (V617F) foram estudadas num estudo piloto prospectivo com 38 pacientes, divididos em portadores de SD, de LLA, de LLA e SD simultaneamente e não portador de SD nem LLA. Para o códon R683 não foram encontradas mutações dignas de notas. Para o V617F 29 amostras mostraram ausência de mutação e 9 amostras não mostraram amplificação. Não foi possível concluir se as mutações são menos frequentes em casos de LLA em portadores de SD.
