ABSTRACT

Disseminated mycosis (DM)­with cardiac involvement and shock­is an unexpected and severe opportunistic infection in patients with yellow fever. DM can mimic bacterial sepsis and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of causes of systemic inflammatory response syndrome in this group of patients, especially in areas where an outbreak of yellow fever is ongoing. We report the case of a 53-year-old male patient who presented to the emergency department with fever, myalgia, headache, and low back pain. The laboratory investigation revealed a positive molecular test for yellow fever, hepatic injury, and renal failure. During hospitalization, the patient developed hepatic encephalopathy, ascending leukocytosis, and ascites, with signs consistent with peritonitis. On the 11th day of hospitalization, the patient developed atrioventricular block, shock and died. At autopsy, angioinvasive mycosis was evidenced mainly in the heart, lungs, kidneys, and adrenals.

ABSTRACT

A Caderneta de Saúde da Criança (CSC) é um documento imprescindível para a promoção da saúde infantil. Foi realizado um estudo transversal com amostra aleatória simples de crianças acompanhadas no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), visando analisar os fatores associados à qualidade do preenchimento da CSC. Foram realizadas entrevistas e verificação direta das cadernetas de 365 crianças das nove regionais de saúde de Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brasil. Foi criado um sistema de escore para classificar as CSC quanto à qualidade do seu preenchimento e relacioná-la às variáveis explicativas. O odds ratio foi calculado por regressão logística. O preenchimento dos vinte itens do escore variou de 3,1 por cento (uso de ferruginoso) a 99,7 por cento (data de nascimento). Os fatores associados aos piores escores foram: crianças > 12 meses de idade (OR = 1,77), mães < 6 anos de estudo (OR = 1,97), crianças não acompanhadas por médicos generalistas (OR = 3,18) e mães que não receberam explicações sobre a CSC na maternidade (OR = 1,77). Os resultados apontam a precária utilização da CSC, reforçando a necessidade de investimentos em capacitação dos profissionais e organização dos serviços para que ela cumpra seu papel na promoção da saúde infantil.


The Child Health Record (CHR) is an essential document for children's health care activities. A cross-sectional study was performed with simple random sampling, aimed at analyzing factors related to quality of data completion on the CHR. Interviews and direct verification of 365 CHRs from 9 health districts in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais State, Brazil, were performed. A scoring system was created to classify the CHRs in terms of quality of data completion and to relate them to explanatory variables. Odds ratios were calculated by logistic regression. Completion of the 20 scoring items varied from 3.1 percent (use of iron supplements) to 99.7 percent (date of birth). Factors associated with worse scores were: children > 12 months old (OR = 1.77), mothers with < 6 years of schooling (OR = 1.97), children not treated by general practitioners (OR = 3.18), and mothers who had not received explanations on the CHR while in the maternity ward (OR = 1.77). The results show poor use of the CHR and emphasize the need for on-going efforts to train health professionals and prepare health services for their important role in the promotion of children's health.

ABSTRACT

O atendimento à demanda não-programada (acolhimento) é hoje um dos mais importantes desafios da atenção básica. Dimensioná-lo representa um dos pontos de partida para a organização do trabalho das equipes de saúde da família (ESF). Este estudo teve por objetivo analisar a demanda não-programada de crianças e adolescentes de uma das ESF do Centro de Saúde São Marcos (CSSM), visando ao planejamento de ações. O acolhimento no CSSM, localizado na região nordeste de Belo Horizonte, é realizado pela ESF durante todo o dia. Foram analisados os registros do atendimento à demanda não-programada em um determinado horário do dia, reservado para este fim, no período de outubro de 2005 a setembro de 2006. A amostra foi composta por 30% dos cerca de cinco mil atendimentos realizados, sorteados aleatoriamente. O banco de dados foi analisado no Epi-Info. Foram analisados 1602 atendimentos, dos quais 627 (39,2%) eram menores de 20 anos de idade. Cerca de 24% eram crianças menores de dois anos e 26% eram adolescentes. Os pacientes com queixas agudas corresponderam a 80,4% dos atendimentos em toda faixa pediátrica. Pouco mais da metade das crianças eram do sexo feminino. Cerca de 100 crianças (16,9%) procuraram o acolhimento para agendar consultas e/ou mostrar exames. Dessas, 12% eram pacientes de puericultura e 5% eram portadores de problemas respiratórios crônicos, como asma. Quatro adolescentes procuraram o acolhimento para fazer o pré-natal. O pequeno percentual de crianças menores de dois anos no acolhimento sugere que o fluxo de pacientes no controle/ puericultura mensal tem sido eficaz. O mesmo pode ser dito das crianças inscritas no programa Criança que Chia. No entanto, o grande percentual de crianças até 10 anos com queixas agudas requer planejamento da agenda para atendê-las o mais rapidamente possível. Com base nesses resultados, pretende-se reorganizar as agendas e rever as atribuições dos profissionais da equipe, propondo alternativas de atenção ao usuário dessa faixa etária


Today, establishing a drop-in policy is one of the most important challenges of primary care. Find the right dimension for delivering care on this basis is one of the starting points for organizing the work of the Family Health Teams (FHT). The purpose of this study was analyzing the demand of drop-in visits of children and adolescents of one of the Family Health Teams of the São Marcos Health Center (SMHC) for planning the actions of the team. The family health team of the SMHC, situated in the Northeast of the city of Belo Horizonte, accepts drop-in visits during all day. The medical records over the period October 2005-September 2006 corresponding to the drop-in visits during a certain period of the day, which was reserved for this activity, were analyzed. The sample consisted of 30% of the about 5.000 visits, selected at random. The data were analyzed using Epi-Info. From the 1602 analyzed visits, 627 (39,2%) were of patients with less than 20 years of age. About 24% were children with less than 2 years and 26% were adolescents. The patients with acute complaints corresponded to 80,4% of all pediatric visits. A little more than half of the children were of feminine sex. Approximately 100 children (16,9%) dropped in for making appointments or for showing the results of exams. From these, 12% were well-child care cases and 5% carriers of chronic respiratory diseases like asthma. Four adolescents came for pre-natal care. The low percentage of children with less than two years of age in the dropin visits suggests that the monthly well-child care had worked efficiently. The same refers to the children inscribed in the asthma treatment program .Criança que Chia.. However, most of the children up to 10 years with acute complaints need appointments so that they can be cared for as quickly as possible. On the basis of these results the agendas will be reorganized and the attributions of the team members will be reviewed proposing alternatives for the users of this age group.
