“…25 Pediatricians scored slightly better in this study, which used vignettes, compared with the previous study, 25 which used symptom lists. As would be expected from other studies, [10][11][12][13][14]31,32 compliance rates by center varied considerably. When examined collectively, none of the stakeholders were highly sensitive and specific to the AAP/APHA symptom thresholds for exclusion.…”

“…Many states' policies (including Maryland's 8 ) have remained imprecise over the last 20 years about which symptoms mandate exclusion. 9 With little direction from the state, it is not surprising that previous studies [10][11][12][13][14] of child care exclusion policies found widely varying policies among individual centers. Mindful of these reports, experts in early education, public health, and infectious disease from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Public Health Association (APHA), and the Maternal and Child Health Bureau convened in 1992 15 and again in 2002 16 to develop consensus guidelines for health and safety in child care.…”

Pediatricians, parents, and child care providers were unfamiliar with American Academy of Pediatrics/American Public Health Association illness exclusion guidelines by name but moderately compliant with them. When noncompliant, child care providers and parents generally overexcluded, and pediatricians underexcluded. Stakeholder- and disease-specific predictors for noncompliance gleaned from this study suggest how educational interventions aiming to increase guideline compliance could be individually tailored to child care providers, parents, and pediatricians.

“…In the USA acute enteric illnesses are the second most common short-term diseases affecting the population [6]. In developed countries the reported increase in the incidence of gastrointestinal disease includes hospital-acquired diarrhoea, enteric illness in extended care facilities for the elderly, in child care centres and in severely immunocompromised patients [7,8]. In 1992 the WHO Collaborating Centre for Research and Training in Food Hygiene and Zoonoses signalled a rise in the total number of reported foodborne diseases in several European countries [9].…”

The incidence of gastrointestinal diseases was studied in a community-based study in four regions of The Netherlands. Two grades of severity were distinguished--1: diarrhoea or vomiting and at least 2 additional symptoms within the period of 1 week, and 2: diarrhoea or vomiting and at least 2 additional symptoms occurring on the same day lasting at least 2 days within the period of 1 week. The incidence of gastrointestinal episodes was calculated to be 630 for grade 1 and 180 for grade 2 disease per 1000 person-years, after correction for age and sex. The incidence was higher for women than for men (relative risk 1.25) and lower for those in the 19-64-year-old age group when compared to those younger or older (relative risk 0.75 and 0.40, respectively). Independent of the degree of severity of the symptoms, about 20% of the patients had consulted a general practitioner, about half in person and half by telephone. It is concluded that community studies are essential to assess the real incidence of gastrointestinal diseases in the population.

INTRODUÇÃO M udanças na estrutura social e económica das famílias levaram a que a maior parte das crianças frequente um infantário durante algum período da sua vida. As crian-ças cuidadas em infantários apresentam um risco duas a três vezes superior de adquirir infecções, por comparação com as crianças cuidadas em casa. Este aspecto tem impacto, não só na saúde individual, como na disseminação das doenças à comunidade. 1-12 Estima-se que os pais de crianças que frequentam infantários se ausentem da sua actividade profissional, em média, uma a quatro semanas por ano, para cuidarem de seus
