Estudo transversal da letalidade da hantavirose no estado de Goiás, 2007-2013*

Abstract

the case-fatality rate was high, primarily associated with respiratory failure.

Magnitude e distribuição dos óbitos por hantavirose no Brasil, 2007-2015*

“…With regard to the groups most vulnerable to death from hantavirus, in a descriptive study conducted in Brazil's Distrito Federal between 2004 and 2013, Dusi et al 13 also found higher lethality in females than in males. Menezes et al, 14 in a cross-sectional study conducted in the state of Goias between 2007 and 2013, and Kaya et al, 15 in a review on prognostic factors for hantavirus infection, also identified higher lethality in most vulnerable age groups -such as children -as well as in other groups traditionally considered to be less exposed to infection.…”

“…The use of secondary data from SINAN does not eliminate the possibility of hantavirus cases and deaths being underreported. However, Oliveira et al 22 and Menezes et al, when using the same sources, demonstrated adequate consistency 14 , as well as wide case coverage. Even so, data recording errors or recall bias may occur, since certain information, such as exposure to risk situations, collected during the investigation, relates to a period of up to 60 days prior to infection.…”

Rodent-borne viruses survey in rural settlers from Central Brazil

“…Goiás state has 98 confirmed HPS cases, since 2000. 7 , 8 , 15 Two hantaviruses have been detected in the state, Araraquara and Juquitiba virus in N. lasiurus and O. nigripis rodents, respectively. 16 The prevalence of anti-hantavirus IgG antibodies detected in this study is in accordance with prevalence found in different studies conducted in rural populations from Brazil (0.4% to 22.0%), 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 but is lower than the one found for Jataí municipality 3.9% (95% CI: 2.3-5.7).…”

Fatores prognósticos associados ao óbito por hantavirose no Brasil, 2007 a 2015

“…Fatores prognósticos associados ao óbito por hantavirose no Brasil De forma coerente, quando na variável de "escolaridade" se estabelece uma categoria para os indivíduos jovens (<20 anos), eles apresentam maior chance de óbito por hantavirose quando comparados à categoria de referência (adultos com ensino superior completo ou incompleto). Novamente, em grupos mais jovens, a exposição a atividades ocupacionais ou recreativas de risco poderia não ser investigada, e a suspeição clínica seria comprometida permitindo a evolução desfavorável do caso 7,11,15 . Dessa forma, programas educativos sobre essa zoonose, poderiam ser desenvolvidos nas escolas das áreas endêmicas, buscando assim reduzir o impacto da doença nas populações mais jovens.…”
