Malária em mulheres de idade de 10 a 49 anos, segundo o SIVEP- Malária, Manaus, Amazonas, 2003-2006

Abstract

RESUMO. Results: Over this period, 13,308 malaria cases were notified, of which 815 (6.1%) were among pregnant women. There was a gradual decrease in the absolute numbers of cases among pregnant and non-pregnant women. Regarding species, 14.3% of the notified cases were caused by Plasmodium falciparum; 85% by Plasmodium vivax and 0.6 % by both of them. The frequency of Plasmodium falciparum infection was greater among pregnant women than among non-pregnant women (p > 0.05). Although most of the cases lived in the eastern zone of the city, the western zone appeared to be the likely location of infection in 39% of the cases. Endemic peaks of malaria in July and August were observed among the non-pregnant women in all four years analyzed. Conclusions: The data showed that SIVEP-Malaria was an important tool for determining the distribution of malaria cases and that it should be used for controlling the endemic disease. However, the data from its first four years of operation showed that the quality was compromised by data entry failures, using the field of notification of pregnancy as an example.

Situação da malária na Região do Baixo Amazonas, Estado do Pará, Brasil, de 2009 a 2013: um enfoque epidemiológico

Outras complicações como a malária cerebral, edema pulmonar, anemia grave, hipoglicemia, morte neonatal representam uma ameaça constante ao organismo materno 19 .…”
