ABSTRACT

Abstract The use of coronavirus disease 2019 RNA vaccines in pregnant women led to reports on the first cases of newborns with antibodies to sudden acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), a phenomenon that was unknown when using immunizations with inactivated viruses. Thus, this study aimed to report a case of passive anti-SARS-CoV-2 immunity in a newborn through immunoprophylaxis of a pregnant woman who received the CoronaVac® vaccine in the third trimester of pregnancy. Twenty-four hours after delivery, samples were collected from the newborn and screened by enzyme immunoassays, which revealed antibodies to SARS-CoV-2.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Identificar o padrão de utilização de medicamentos, nos últimos seis meses, em crianças entre zero e seis anos, em quatro creches de Tubarão, Santa Catarina, no ano de 2007. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal realizado por meio de questionário semi-estruturado, aplicado aos pais ou responsáveis pelas 413 crianças incluídas na pesquisa, após consentimento informado. Foram coletados dados sobre utilização de medicamentos e informações de saúde. A análise estatística foi feita com auxílio do programa Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 15.0. RESULTADOS: A média de idade das crianças foi 3,7±1,3 anos, sendo 195 (47 por cento) meninas e 218 (53 por cento) meninos. Dentre os adultos que responderam ao questionário, 75 por cento eram mães e 43 por cento tinham oito anos de estudo. Diante de situação de doença, 47 por cento forneciam os medicamentos que tinham em casa. Das crianças pesquisadas, 82 (20 por cento) apresentavam doença crônica e 75 (18 por cento) portavam doença aguda no momento da pesquisa. Houve histórico de reações adversas aos medicamentos em 82 (20 por cento) crianças, sendo a mais freqüente a alergia. A classe de medicamentos mais utilizada foi a dos analgésicos e antitérmicos (45 por cento) e o motivo de uso principal foi febre (32 por cento). Nos últimos seis meses, haviam sido utilizados 763 medicamentos, com média de 1,8 medicamentos por criança, sendo 41 por cento com prescrição médica e 59 por cento por automedicação. CONCLUSÕES: A prática freqüente de automedicação em crianças é um fenômeno potencialmente nocivo à saúde. Esse estudo mostrou que a maioria dos pais ou responsáveis segue essa prática, podendo mascarar doenças graves, gerar quadros de reações adversas e desenvolver resistência bacteriana, além de outras complicações.


OBJECTIVE: Identify the pattern of drug utilization in a six-month period among children aged zero to six years old, in Tubarão, Santa Catarina, Brazil, during 2007. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was carried out using a semi-structured questionnaire administered to parents or caretakers of 413 children included in the survey. After signing consent, parents were asked about the use of prescribed and over-the-counter medicines and other health information. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 15.0 was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: Out of 413 children, 195 (47 percent) were girls and 218 (53 percent) boys. Their mean age was 3.7±1.3 years. Most parents who answered the questionnaire were mothers (75 percent) and 43 percent had eight years of schooling. When asked about medication use in the event of diseases, 47 percent reported that they use medicines available at home. Among the children, 82 (20 percent) had chronic diseases and 75 (18 percent) presented an acute illness at the time of the study. Adverse drug reactions were reported by 82 (20 percent) of the caretakers, being allergy the most frequent. Antipyretics and analgesics were the medicines most frequently used (45 percent) in order to treat fever (32 percent). During the last six months, the use of 763 drugs was reported, corresponding to 1.8 drugs/child. Of these, 41 percent were prescribed by a physician and 59 percent as self medication. CONCLUSIONS: Parental frequent practice of self medication in treating children is potentially harmful to health. This study showed that most caretakers follow this practice which can mask serious diseases, provoke adverse reactions and develop bacterial resistance, among other complications.
