Measles epidemiological profile in Brasil from 2013 to 2018

Abstract

SUMMARY BACKGROUND To determine the epidemiological profile of measles in Brasil from 2013 to 2018, and to evaluate the possible association between increased number of cases and vaccination coverage. METHODS This is an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, retrospective study with quantitative approach, carried out through analysis of secondary data collected through the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN), in the National Immunization Program (PNI). RESULTS The total number of reported cases was 10,886, with the year 2018 having the highest number (10,185). In the North macro-region (93.4%), male (55.53%), autochthonous cases from the city of residence (94.42%) and laboratory confirmation (99.09%) predominated. Regarding the age group, it was observed that in the period from 2013 to 2015 the highest prevalence occurred in <1 year, with 44.5%, 40.6% and 29.0%, respectively, while in 2018, the highest rate was in the 20-29 age group with 24.2%. Vaccination coverage was below 95%, except for SCR - D1 (first dose of triple viral) in the years 2013 to 2016. Regarding the outcome, there was a limited number of deaths secondary to measles (0.12%). CONCLUSIONS There was an exponential growth in the number of measles cases in Brasil in 2018, which represents a public health problem. In view of this, it is necessary to implement measures such as broad vaccination coverage and sanitary control at the borders, in order to reduce the incidence of this disease and, consequently, the number of deaths.

“…Vários alimentos aumentam a propensão a gazes e consequente dor abdominal, assim, esses alimentos devem ser consumidos de modo regrado e em conjunto com outros alimentos que minimizem odores e possíveis gazes. O acompanhamento nutricional é determinado por todas as condições de vida do paciente, incluindo a financeira, sendo de suma importância que esses pacientes recebam orientações adequadas durante e após a alta hospitalar, de acordo com as suas necessidades (COSTA et al, 2018).…”

“…Segundo a Sociedade Brasileira de Pediatria, a meta de vacinação contra o sarampo é de, no mínimo 95%, de forma homogênea em todos os municípios, e o número de pessoas não imunizadas não pode ultrapassar 8% (COSTA et al, 2020). São recomendadas duas doses da vacina tríplice viral, aplicada aos 12 meses de vida e aos 15 meses de idade, respectivamente (ZONIS et al, 2014;XAVIER, et al, 2019).…”

“…Os dados foram coletados por meio de questionário com perguntas abertas Viroses emergentes e reemergentes vêm crescendo nos últimos anos no Brasil. O aumento de casos de doenças infeciosas conhecidas, tais como, Dengue, Febre Amarela, AIDS, Sarampo, COVID-19, dentre outras, têm despertado atenção e preocupação da comunidade médico-científica (KERR et al, 2018;COSTA et al, 2020;KENI et al, 2020;SILVA et al, 2020). Nesse contexto, cabe a escola desenvolver ações diferenciadas Com o objetivo de avaliar esta ação voltada ao ensino de Ciências, foi solicitado aos discentes que relatassem sua opinião acerca da aplicação do jogo didático.…”

“…According to WHO, currently all continents are facing measles outbreaks and not just in children. Data from a scientific survey on the epidemiological profile of measles carried out in 2020 indicate that in 2018 in Brazil, there was a prevalence of infected individuals between 20 and 29 years of age (Brasil, 2019, Costa et al, 2020.…”

“…This increase in the incidence of cases is the result of several aspects, such as: social determinants; low levels of immunization (especially due to hard-toreach places); application of only one dose (the recommended by the Ministry of Health is two doses); anti-vaccination movements; religious, cultural and migration aspects (Costa et al, 2020, Gomes et al, 2020.…”
