Introdução: A microcefalia é uma malformação congênita, em que o cérebro não se desenvolve de maneira adequada podendo ser efeito de uma série de fatores de diferentes origens, como substâncias químicas e agentes biológicos, como bactérias, vírus e radiação. Objetivo: realizar um levantamento bibliométrico dos estudos realizados no Brasil, por pesquisadores da área da odontologia, que tratam sobre utilizando os dados publicados nos anais da Reunião Anual da Sociedade Brasileira de Pesquisa Odontológica (SBPqO). Metodologia: Uma busca ativa foi realizada em todos os resumos publicados nos anais da SBPqO dos ultimos dez anos (2009 a 2018), utilizando o termo de busca “microcefalia” e avaliou-se aspectos como distribuição geográfica, financiamento, tipo de instituição, objetivo dos estudo e correlação da microcefalia com o Zika vírus. Resultados: Um total de 26.514 resumos foram analisados, desde apenas 10 estavam relacionados com microcefalia, sendo o ano de 2018 o que apresentou um maior número de trabalhos (5 resumos). A maioria dos resumos tratavam de trabalhos associados com a sindrome congênita do Zika vírus (7 resumos). Conclusão: A região nordeste apresentou uma maior produção relacionada a microcefalia e a grande maioria dos estudos associou a doença com a síndrome congênita do zika vírus. Uma maior sensibilização por parte dos pesquisadores a cerca da importância do conhecimento do desenvolvimento e de métodos de melhoria na qualidade de vida dessas crianças deve ser incentivado.Descritores: Microcefalia; Odontologia; Pesquisa em Odontologia.ReferênciasNunes ML, Carlini CR, Marinowic D, Kalil Neto F, Fiori HH, Scotta MC et al.

AbstractSince February 2015, Zika virus has spread throughout the Western Hemisphere, starting in Brazil. As of March 2016, autochthonous transmission has been reported in at least 31 countries or territories. For countries in the Americas, the spread of Zika virus, a previously unfamiliar disease, follows similar emerging infection introductions of West Nile virus and Chikungunya virus and their spread throughout the American continents and the Caribbean nations. The Pan American Health Organization and the World Health Organization have issued alerts and a Public Health Emergency of International Concern announcement related to the recent cluster of microcephaly cases and other neurological disorders in Brazil that are temporally associated with Zika virus, which highlights the possible adverse impact of viral infection. This article provides an overview of the Zika virus infection and presents the historical background of the virus, a description of the pathogen, the epidemiology and clinical spectrum of Zika virus infection, diagnosis and treatment approaches, and prevention and control measures. Understanding what is known about the virus and its clinical presentation will assist in prevention, detection, and response measures to reduce and control the spread of the virus throughout the Western Hemisphere.

Objective: To assess the knowledge of Zika virus infection in gynecologistsand pediatricians Study Design: Cross sectional. Setting: Tertiary care public hospitalsincluding Sardar Begam, and Allama Iqbal Memorial Hospitals, Sialkot; Services Institute ofMedical Sciences and Jinnah Hospital, Lahore; and Pakistan Air Force Hospital, Islamabad(Pakistan). Period: July to December, 2016. Method: Calculation of sample size using p =0.5 (inavailability of secondary data) in n = z2pq/d2 was followed by convenience samplingbasedrecruitment of the specialists. An indigenously developed questionnaire (Cronbach’s α= 0.79) was administrated to each subject for recording sociodemographic and professionalinformation; and self-reporting to 12 close-ended items on Zika virus infection (ZVI) in women;and microcephaly in newborns. The knowledge was categorized as adequate/inadequate.Results: Overall 172 respondents included (response rate = 97.2%); and substantially higherrate i.e. ≥ 91.9% was found against each of the correct options. Consequently, 94.8% (n= 163) of them showed adequate knowledge (score 10-12 out of possible total = 12) onthe infection and microcephaly. The knowledge had insignificant association with any of thesociodemographic/professional variables e.g. specialty (p ˃ 0.05; χ2 test). Similarly, post hocmultiple comparisons using Tukey’s HSD test revealed insignificant difference among themean values of score (p ˃ 0.05) in 3 occupational positions viz. Foundation doctors (M =11.29, SD = 1.13), trainee doctors (M = 11.26, SD = 0.81), and consultants (M = 11.40, SD= 0.82). Conclusion: Gynecologists and pediatricians had adequate level of the infection andmicrocephaly-related knowledge; though lack disease-oriented attitude and practical handling.

Introducción: la infección por el virus del Zika es un problema de salud pública por las complicaciones neonatales de moderada y grave severidad. Objetivo: establecer las complicaciones en los neonatos de madres diagnosticadas con Zika. Metodología: investigación cuantitativa, no experimental, descriptiva, con una muestra de 82 neonatos de madres con infección de virus del Zika, datos obtenidos del departamento de estadísticas del Distrito 09D01, durante el periodo enero 2017 a enero 2018, procesados por el software SPSS Estatistics 24.0 para windows, con una distribución numérica y porcentual, con la prueba de T de Student se estableció la significancia estadística (p<0.05). Resultados: En los 82 neonatos de madres infectadas con el virus Zika 52 casos (63,4 %) nacieron por cesárea y 30 casos (36,59 %) por parto vaginal, 76 casos (92,68%) nacieron vivos y 6 casos (7,3%) mortinatos, con igual proporción de neonatos pre-términos y a términos, microcefalia en 13 casos (15,88%), seguido de hiperbilirrubinemia en 5 casos (6,10%) e hipotiroidismo en 3 casos (3,66%), con una diferencia significativa (p<0,05) en la microcefalia en relación a las otras complicaciones. Conclusiones: Se evidenció un predominio en el tipo de parto por cesáreas, aunque diversos consensos internacionales establecen que la infección por el virus Zika o la microcefalia no son indicaciones, por lo que la cesárea se realizará solo por motivos obstétricos exclusivamente. En los neonatos existió igual proporción en la edad gestacional y se evidenciaron complicaciones como microcefalia, hiperbilirrubinemia e hipotiroidismo predominando la microcefalia en relación a las otras complicaciones.  Palabras Clave: Zika; neonatos; gestantes, malformaciones, microcefalia, mortalidad. ABSTRACT Introduction: Zika virus infection is a public health problem due to moderate and severe neonatal complications. Objective: to establish the complications in the neonates of mothers diagnosed with Zika. Methodology: quantitative, non-experimental, descriptive research, with a sample of 82 neonates of mothers with Zika virus infection, data obtained from the statistics department of District 09D01, during the period January 2017 to January 2018, processed by the software SPSS Statistics 24.0 for windows, with a numerical and percentage distribution, with the Student's t test statistical significance was established (p<0.05). Results: In the 82 neonates of mothers infected with the Zika virus, 52 cases (63.4 %) were born by cesarean section and 30 cases (36.59%) by vaginal delivery, 76 cases (92.68%) were born alive and 6 cases (7.3%) were stillborn, with the same proportion of preterm and full term neonates, microcephaly in 13 cases (15.88%), followed by hyperbilirubinemia in 5 cases (6.10%) and hypothyroidism in 3 cases (3.66%), with a significant difference (p<0.05) in microcephaly in relation to the other complications. Conclusions: There was evidence of a predominance in the type of cesarean delivery, although various international consensuses made that infection by the Zika virus or microcephaly are not indications, so that cesarean section is performed only for obstetric reasons exclusively. In neonates there was an equal proportion in gestational age and complications such as microcephaly, hyperbilirubinemia and hypothyroidism were evidenced, with microcephaly predominating in relation to the other complications Keywords: Zika; neonates; pregnant; malformations; microcephaly; the mortality.

Introduction: The association between the increased incidence of microcephaly and the epidemic outbreak of Zika virus infection (ZIKV) in Brazil between 2015 and 2016 was observed by many authors. World Health Organization declared it as a public health emergency of international concern. Maternal infection with the Zika virus can be transmitted vertically and lead to Congenital Zika Syndrome (CZS) in infants. So that it is important to investigate the clinical-epidemiological profile of the mothers and their newborns. Aims: To characterize the clinical- epidemiological profile of pregnant women associated with presumed ZIKV in pregnancy and their newborns diagnosed with microcephaly at birth and associated with CZS. Methods: A sectional study, using medical record data, between September 2015 and June 2016. Results: 82 cases of microcephaly were reported in maternity during this period. Of these, 32 cases were excluded because they did not fit the new microcephaly criteria according to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Ministry of Health of Brazil. The mean maternal age was 25 years, varying from 13 and 43 years old; exanthema was the only symptom related to Zika virus infection and it was observed in 60% (27/45) of the pregnancies, which occurred predominantly during the first or the second trimester of pregnancy. Other mothers were asymptomatic. Related to the newborns, 62% (31/50) were female; 32% (16/50) were low weight; 2% (1/50) were premature. Neonatal brain ultrasound showed 70,4% (31/44) of the neonates with abnormal findings, mainly calcifications that occurred in 87% (27/31). 29 newborns were submitted to fundoscopy examinations and 38% (11/29) were abnormal. Conclusion: Despite the majority of pregnant women did not have classic symptoms of arboviruses and because of this the suspicion and confirmation of Zika viruses infection through serologies are difficult in clinical practice, it is important to understand clinical and epidemiological characteristics related to Zika viruses infection and the CZS to allow mapping where preventive measures should be directed and better investigated as well as to offer an adequate follow-up to the infected neonates according to their outcomes.

A cross-sectional survey was conducted to assess the knowledge and practices on Zika virus infection among general adults in Brunei Darussalam. From February to June 2017, 439 adults were interviewed from outpatient health care settings. Most participants were Malays (87.0%) and females (61.5%), with a mean age of 40.7 years. Only 25.1% had a total knowledge score of 15 to 28 points (of a possible score of 0-28). Females and those living in households of <8 people were more likely to have higher total knowledge scores (15-28 points). Media was the preferred source to get updates. Also, 67.4% had a total prevention practice score of 19 to 36 points (of a possible score of 0-36). Those who attained secondary level education or below, had no pregnant women present in their household, and scored 15 to 28 points for knowledge were more likely to have higher prevention practice scores (19-36 points). Knowledge on Zika was significantly associated with prevention practices against mosquito bites and breeding.

Background: In 2016 Zika virus infection became an international public health emergency concern.Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge and practice of midwives regarding the Zika virus.Methods: This research was an analytic study with a cross-sectional approach. A total of samples was 191 selected using a proportional random sampling technique. WHO questionnaire was used to collect data on knowledge and practice related to the Zika virus and a set of explanatory variables.Results: The midwife's knowledge of the Zika virus revealed that only the workplace and sources of information were associated with knowledge of the Zika virus infection. Public health center had a greater chance of having good knowledge than hospitals with OR: 5.130 (CI: 2.591-10.157) and first knew Zika information more than one year ago had a greater chance of having good knowledge than the first midwife knew about Zika on the day the study was conducted with OR: 3.035 (CI: 1.485-6.203).Conclusion: Knowledge and practice regarding Zika virus infection among midwives in Kendari city Indonesia was relatively good. Furthermore, midwives who work in the public health center had a five times chance compared to midwives who work in hospitals to have better knowledge related to the Zika virus.
