“…When the relative humidity in air is high, the presence of fungi in the household environment may also explain the number of hospital admissions recorded in July (during winter) because these microorganisms are important allergens, especially in predisposed individuals, and are particularly important in acute crises of asthma and chronic bronchitis [49]. In the months of February and March, i.e., at the beginning of autumn (when people return from holidays), the contact between children with a weakened immune system and children with microorganisms brought from the various family households is a problem reported by Low [50] and is a persistent cause of new cases of hospitalization.…”

Mutagenicity in Tradescantia pallida as an Indicator of the Effect of Air Pollution and Human Health

et al. 2021

The present study aims to relate the micronucleus frequency in Tradescantia pallida to environmental factors and cardiorespiratory diseases to infer the effect of air pollution. The number of hospitalizations, diseases cases, frequency of micronuclei in plants, environmental variables, altitude, and vehicle traffic in cities of Mato Grosso do Sul were evaluated due to the high flow that surrounds agribusiness. The frequency of micronuclei decreased with the increase in relative humidity, while the altitude did not influence the mutagenicity or genotoxicity of the evaluated plants. The municipalities with micronucleus frequencies above 200 had the highest number of vehicle and cardiorespiratory diseases. Biomonitoring data obtained in cities throughout the year indicate that the number of cardiorespiratory diseases was probably due to vehicular pollution, which is evidenced by the increased frequency of micronuclei in T. pallida.

“…However, this is also when children return to schools and day care centers. Therefore, the March peak might be attributable to the fact that children with low immunity come into contact with classmates carrying microorganisms brought from various nuclear families, (26) influenced by close living quarters, (13) which can be an aggravating factor in the dissemination of infections.…”

OBJETIVO: Analisar as internações hospitalares por doenças respiratórias em menores de 15 anos de idade em uma área com elevados níveis de poluição ambiental. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal da morbidade hospitalar por doenças respiratórias de residentes no município de Tangará da Serra (MT) na Amazônia brasileira, no período de 2000 a 2005, através de dados de internações hospitalares do Sistema Único de Saúde brasileiro e de estimativas populacionais do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística. RESULTADOS: Em 2005, a taxa de internações por doenças respiratórias em menores de 15 anos foi de 70,1/1.000 crianças na microrregião de Tangará da Serra. Entre 2000 a 2005 ocorreram, no município de Tangará da Serra, 12.777 internações de crianças, das quais 8.142 (63,7%) por doenças respiratórias. No período da seca (maio a outubro) houve 10% mais internações por doenças respiratórias que no período da chuva (novembro a abril). As principais causas de internação foram: pneumonias (90,7%) e insuficiência respiratória (8,5%). Em menores de 5 anos de idade, as internações por pneumonia foram mais de 4 vezes o esperado para o município. Os menores de 12 meses de idade foram mais frequentemente internados, com incremento médio de 32,4 internações por 1.000 crianças a cada ano. CONCLUSÕES: Tangará da Serra tem apresentado elevado número de internações por doenças respiratórias, portanto, é coerente considerá-lo como área prioritária para investigação e monitoramento dos fatores de risco ambientais para tais doenças.

“…18 Data on ARI incidence in day care facilities are scarce in the indexed literature, but several studies have shown the role of these facilities as risk factors for respiratory illnesses. [4][5][6][7][8][9]19,20 To the best of our knowledge, this is the most extensive prospective study of viral respiratory infections in children from socioeconomically underprivileged families attending day care in Brazil.…”

“…Some studies have shown that attending day care can be a risk factor for respiratory diseases in young children. [4][5][6][7][8] Therefore, it is relevant to carry out studies on the etiology of ARI in day care facilities which constitute probably the most favorable environment for the transmission of common respiratory viruses among assembled susceptible hosts. Surprisingly, studies on the viral etiologies of ARI in children attending day care are relatively few in the indexed literature.…”

A cohort of children attending a day care center in Salvador (Bahia, Brazil) was studied prospectively to determine the incidence of viral respiratory infectious episodes and to identify the viruses associated with them. Two hundred seventy-one nasopharyngeal samples were collected over a 1-year period for examination, using indirect immunofluorescence with monoclonal antibodies against adenovirus, influenza A and B, parainfluenzae 1-3, and respiratory syncytial virus, and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction for picornavirus. Examination yielded positive results in 116 samples (42.8%). Rhinovirus was identified alone in 56 samples (48.3%) and was observed along with other viruses in 11 additional samples. Incidence density of viral respiratory infectious episodes was 7.66 episodes/1,000 child-days.
