ABSTRACT

The evolution of the epidemic of HIV in Brazil has especially affected women, and the control of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (MTCT) has been a new challenge to be faced. This study assessed the compliance with the algorithm recommended by the Ministry of Health (MH) for diagnosing the children born to HIV-positive mothers, followed-up in the Regional Central Laboratory of the Instituto Adolfo Lutz of São José do Rio Preto-X, and to evaluate the occurrence of mother-to-child transmission. This cross-sectional descriptive study collected data on the CD4+ T-cell count and viral load System for Controlling Laboratory Examinations (SISCEL) and System for Hospital Management (SIGH) from January 2009 to December 2014. In this period, 265 children were registered, being 141 (53.2%) male and 124 (46.8%) female; and only 217 (81.9%) complied with the algorithm recommended by the MH. The mean prevalence of MTCT was 5.9%. Despite the efforts exerted by the MH, the HIV algorithm noncompliance still occurs, and the vertical transmission rate is higher than 2%. These data reinforce the need to intensify the surveillance, to improve the information and the follow-up of pregnant women, and to rescue those responsible who do not strictly comply with the algorithm proposed by the MH.


A epidemia do HIV no Brasil tem afetado de maneira especial as mulheres e trouxe, como um novo desafio a ser enfrentado, o controle da transmissão vertical (TV) do HIV. O objetivo deste estudo foi de avaliar o cumprimento ao algoritmo preconizado pelo Ministério da Saúde(MS) no diagnóstico de crianças nascidas de mães HIV positivas, acompanhadas no Centro de Laboratório Regional Instituto Adolfo Lutz de São José do Rio Preto-X, e avaliar a ocorrência de TV. Foram coletados dados do Sistema de Informação e Gestão Hospitalar (SIGH) e do Sistema de Controle de Exames Laboratoriais da Rede Nacional de Contagem de Linfócitos T CD4+ e Carga Viral (SISCEL) no período de janeiro de 2009 a dezembro de 2014. Foram cadastradas265 crianças, 141 (53,2%) eram do sexo masculino e 124 (46,8%) feminino. Destas, 217 (81,9%) completaram o algoritmo preconizado pelo MS. A média da prevalência de TV foi de 5,9%. Apesar dos esforços do MS, há descumprimento no algoritmo e a taxa de TV é maior que a meta de 2%. Os dados reforçam a necessidade de intensificar a vigilância, melhorar a informação e acompanhamento de gestantes e resgate dos responsáveis que não cumprem o algoritmo do MS.
