Vigilância de oito vírus respiratórios em amostras clínicas de pacientes pediátricos no sudeste do Brasil

Abstract: Results: Of 336 samples collected from 336 patients, 187 (55.6%) were positive for at least one of the respiratory viruses studied. Of all the children, HRSV was identified in 24.1%, HMPV in 17.8%, HPIV3 in 8.3%, Ad in 6.8%, IA in 5%, HPIV1 in 0.6%, but no virus could be detected in 44.1%. Dual virus infections were detected in 7.1% of all samples (12.8% of positive samples). HPIV2 and IB were not detected in the present study. Conclusions:This study confirms that children younger than 5 years and particularly… Show more

“…However, lower access to and utilization of healthcare services may result in underestimation of the burden in Guatemala, despite our attempt to correct for healthcare seeking behavior. The proportion of ARI cases HMPV-positive among children aged <5 years in our study (13%) was higher than other previous studies from USA (New York and Tennessee), Italy, France and Korea,2629 but similar to studies in Alaska and Brazil 12,30. The proportion of hospitalized ARI cases that were HMPV-positive among adults ≥50 years (3%) was similar to that reported in TN, USA (4·5%) 25…”

“…Em estudo realizado para estabelecer a etiologia das infecções respiratórias agudas e epidemiologia dos vírus respirató-rios mais comuns em crianças pequenas atendidas no hospital universitário da Universidade de São Paulo, em 2003, observou-se que as crianças menores de cinco anos, especialmente as menores de um ano, apresentaram uma alta taxa de hospitalização devido aos vírus respiratórios sincicial humano, influenza, parainfluenza 1, 2 e 3, metapneumovírus humano e adonovírus, recomendando estratégias de prevenção a partir desse conhecimento (16) . No município de Ribeirão Preto, SP, estudo (17) revelou que os dados sobre morbidade hospitalar indicavam entre os grupos de diagnósticos mais frequentes nas internações de menores de um ano, as doenças do aparelho respiratório, recomendando que a intervenção tecnicamente adequada sobre estas patologias implicaria, basicamente, no desenvolvimento de ações em outros níveis que não o hospitalar, entendida como referência aos serviços de atenção primária em saúde.…”

“…Esses resultados estão de acordo com estudos realizados por Thomazelli et al 29 , nos quais um dos sintomas mais comuns foi tosse, observada em 86% dos casos de infecção respiratória. Pecchini et al 30 também encontraram como sintomas mais comuns tosse (92,3%) e coriza (64,7%).…”
