“…The seroprevalence rates for HBV and HCV infections (0.4% and 0.1%, respectively) confirm the low prevalence of viral hepatitis in the general population of the NE region (lower than 2%). 33 Both prevalence rates are similar to the results found in other Brazilian cities. 10 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 18 , 20 , 34 , 35 This prevalence is in line with the prevalence of HBsAg among children under five years old, in Latin America and the Caribbean, except in Honduras, Panama, Ecuador, and Paraguay (1–1.5%) and Jamaica, Haiti, and Guyana (2.5%), where the prevalence is higher.…”

“…It should also be emphasized that, contrary to studies performed in the 1990s, the prevalence in more recent studies was less than 7%. Table 5 presents the results of 25 surveys carried out in pregnant and postpartum women that reported low prevalence, with 16 (64%) of 25 reports showing that HBsAg was present in less than 1.0% of women (91) (92) (93) (94) (95) (96) (97) (98) (99) (100) (101) (102) (103) (104) (105) (106) (107) (108) (109) (110) . Three studies reported intermediate or high endemicity.…”

Brazil was formerly considered a country with intermediate hepatitis B endemicity, with large heterogeneity between Brazilian regions and areas of high prevalence, especially in the Amazon basin. Systematic vaccination of children was initiated in 1998. Between 2004 and, a large population-based study reported decreased prevalence in all regions of Brazil. This review analyzed the current hepatitis B epidemiological situation in Brazil through a systematic search of the scientifi c literature in MEDLINE, LILACS, and CAPES thesis database, as well as disease notifi cations to the Information System for Notifi able Diseases. The search strategy identifi ed 87 articles and 13 theses, resulting in 100 total publications. The most recent results indicate reduced hepatitis B prevalence nationwide, classifying Brazil as having low endemicity. Most studies showed HBV carrier prevalence less than 1%. However, there are still isolated regions with increased prevalence, particularly the Amazon, as well as specifi c groups, such as homeless people in large cities and isolated Afro-descendant communities in the center of the country. This review alsao detected successful vaccination coverage reported in a few studies around the country. The prevalence of anti-HBs alone ranged from 50% to 90%. However, isolated and distant localities still have low coverage rates. This review reinforces the downward trend of hepatitis B prevalence in Brazil and the need to intensify vaccination strategies for young people and adults in specifi c regions with persisting higher HBV infection prevalence.

“…It is important to highlight that the studies used to compare our findings belonged to similar referrence centers. Early diagnosis, combined with knowledge of the physical and social characteristics of the affected population, such as their lifestyle, age, gender, profession, among others, has been highly effective in preventing new cases through educational measures for the specific population, thus preventing the development of severe cases that evolve to malignancy and death (Miranda, et al, 2018;Conceição, et al, 2009;Liell, et al, 2009). Many aspects regarding the pathology and impact of STIs infections in public health are still poorly known, evidencing the importance of studies directed to epidemiology (World Health Organization, 2001).…”

To investigate the general prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and the factors associated with syphilis and HIV in women treated in the Integrated Health System (SINAS). Cross-sectional database study with 6.993 patients treated at a referral center in the state of Paraná, Brazil, from January 2013 to December 2015. The overall prevalence was 2.39% for syphilis and HIV, being 0.65 and 0.22% for pregnant women and 3.07 and 0.78% for non-pregnant women, respectively. After adjusting the variables in the logistic regression model, the main predictors associated with syphilis were the age groups 41 to 59 and 60 to 83 years old (p <0.001), non-pregnant women (p <0.01), marital status married (p <0.001), drug use (p <0.01) and previous STIs (<0.001). For HIV, the predictors were city of residence (<0.001), reason for search (p <0.01), reported previous STTs (p <0.001). The population served had a higher prevalence of syphilis when compared to the international panorama, while the HIV values were lower. The predictors associated with STIs were non-pregnant, heterosexual women, aged between the second and fourth decade of life, higher education and who did not use condoms regularly. This study presents relevant information for the evaluation and development of measures that prevent, control and are related to the diagnosis and treatment of the investigated STIs.
