ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: The state of São Paulo has been monitoring cases of microcephaly and pregnant women presenting with acute rash, through CeVeSP. METHODS: This was a descriptive study focusing on pregnant women with rash and the outcome of their pregnancy, based on the notifications through the CeVeSP. RESULTS: During 2016, 2,209 cases of pregnant women with rash were reported and investigated. Of these, 36.6% were confirmed. Of the pregnant women who tested positive for ZIKV, 6.4% did not have a favorable outcome. CONCLUSIONS Our results allowed the characterization of pregnant women exposed to ZIKV and the outcome of pregnancy.

OBJETIVO: descrever a taxa de detecção de infecção pelo vírus da hepatite B no Brasil e a razão de taxas de detecção nos municípios segundo cobertura dos serviços de hemoterapia (SH) durante o período 2001-2008. MÉTODOS: estudo descritivo, compreendeu o cálculo da taxa de detecção de infecção pelo vírus da hepatite B por sexo, faixa etária, Regiões brasileiras e presença de SH; regressão linear para tendência; teste de qui-quadrado para comparação de proporções da detecção e razão de taxas; os dados foram coletados do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (Sinan-NET). RESULTADOS: a taxa de detecção de infecção pelo vírus da hepatite B apresentou incremento no Brasil, sendo 2,4 vezes mais elevada nos municípios com SH. CONCLUSÃO: a detecção da infecção pelo vírus da hepatite B apresentou pequeno incremento no período estudado e em todas as Regiões brasileiras foram encontradas taxas mais elevadas em municípios com serviço de hemoterapia.
OBJECTIVE: to describe the detection rate of infection by hepatitis B virus in Brazil and detection rates ratio in municipalities regarding hemotherapy service (HS) during the period 2001-2008. METHODS: a descriptive study reached the detection rate of infection by hepatitis Bvirus by gender, age, Brazilian macro-regions and presence of HS; it was applied linear regression for trend, and chi-squared test to compare proportions of detection and ratio rates; data from the Reportable Diseases Database (Sinan-NET) was used. RESULTS: the detection rates of infection by hepatitis B virus showed increase in Brazil, and were 2.4 higherin municipalities with HS. CONCLUSION: the detection of infection by hepatitis B virus showed small increase during the study period, and all Brazilian regions presented higher rates in municipalities with hemotherapy service.
