Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Caracterização demográfica e formas clínicas apresentadas por crianças internadas com dengue em um hospital de referência da Amazônia(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012) TEIXEIRA, Kelly Soares; CRUZ, Ana Cecília Ribeiro; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8080838290715777Dengue has been causing epidemics of different magnitudes in recent decades, and is present in almost all States of Brazil with movement of four different serotypes, from the introduction in the country of the serotype 4 in January, 2011. The current epidemiological scenario of the country indicates the elevation of severe forms of dengue in the pediatric age group. However, descriptive studies of cases of the disease in children, which make reference to epidemiological and clinical features, are infrequent. The present work is meant to show the demographic characteristics and clinical forms submitted by children under the age of twelve years, interned with dengue, in a referral hospital from Amazon. In this study, we used a methodology that would allow a search through retrospective analysis of hospitalized children with dengue, 154 patient records in the period between 2009 to 2011, in João de Barros Barreto University Hospital, in Belém, Pará. The variables examined were: age, gender, area of residence, distribution by municipalities, signs and symptoms, date of hospitalization, date of onset of symptoms, clinical form of the disease and platelet and hematocrit values, liver enzymes. In this study, there was no statistically significant difference between gender, most confirmed cases of dengue fever were coming from municipalities in the interior State of Pará (57.6%). Fever was the sign most often found (98.7%). Petechia was the hemorrhagic manifestation referred to as more frequent in this study (76.6%). Among the warning signs for Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever, abdominal pain and vomiting were present in 77.3% of patients. On the date of hospital admission, revealed that only after five to seven days from the beginning of the clinical symptoms, the patients had access to treatment in hospital. In this respect, it is known that the prognosis of patient with early recognition depends on dengue warning signals and immediate treatment with appropriate electrolytes spares. These results show that it is necessary to strengthen the basic health services in order to provide early diagnosis and appropriate care in the pediatric age group, in particular where dengue cases eventually are confused with other virus diseases prevalent in childhood. Certainly, there is a need to evaluate the efficiency of dengue control programs and application of specific measures to areas identified as priorities.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Estudo das relações entre as variáveis ambientais e a incidência de dengue nos municípios de Santarém, Tucuruí e Bragança ( Pará ), no período de janeiro/2007 a julho de 2011(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014) BAÍA, Sandra Suely da Veiga; CRUZ, Ana Cecília Ribeiro; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8080838290715777Dengue is a disease with a higher incidence in Brazil, is considered a public health problem and is widely distributed in tropical countries, where environmental conditions favor the proliferation of the Aedes aegypti mosquito that transmits dengue. This study aimed to: determine the demographic profile (gender, age) of dengue cases in the municipalities of Pará: Santarém, Tucuruí and Bragança; investigate the influence of environmental change (deforestation), with the occurrence of dengue in cities studied, and correlate climate change in each area studied, with the process of dengue virus endemicity. This is a study of the ecological, epidemiological type within a retrospective and descriptive study. The study period comprises from January 2007 to July 2011. We used data regarding the incidence of the disease, the Notifiable Diseases Information System ( SINAM ), with the record of 7,871 notifications of dengue, the Department of Public Health of the State of Pará ( SESPA ), as well as environmental and climatological data, Institutes of the environment of the State of Pará in the data analysis, it was evident that the age group most affected by dengue was 21-30 years, which is related to social and economic damage to the country, considering that this band age, are the most economically active people. The study was also obtained, patients suffering from dengue, have on average 29.38 years. The study found that in females, there was a higher incidence of dengue cases. This is expected, as some scholars relate to the fact that women stay at home more, and is commonly occurs in households where disease transmission In regarding the incidence of dengue, Gauteng had the highest number of cases. With regard to this information, it should be emphasized that the municipality has triple the number of inhabitants of the other two municipalities. As for deforestation variable, which was accounted for Santarem, had the highest deforested area in all years of study this fact, which can also be attributed in part to deforestation for soy cultivation. Regarding climatic factors, it was found that the periods of highest rainfall, corresponded to the first months of the year (January to May), and also in this period there was a higher incidence of the disease, possibly due to increased rainfall. As for factors insolation and minimum temperature, it was found that there was no direct relationship between the variables with the increase of dengue cases. With respect to maximum temperature, Gauteng showed a strong correlation between the variables, since the other cities studied showed negative correlation in the study period.
