A sífilis é uma doença infecciosa sistêmica de evolução crônica e muitas vezes assintomática, transmitida principalmente por via sexual e vertical. O estudo em questão trata-se de um estudo de corte transversal, retrospectivo, descritivo de natureza quantitativa e documental, a coleta de dados se deu no Programa de Atenção Municipal as DST/HIV/AIDS (PAMDHA) do município de Criciúma, através de pesquisa documental com base nos dados da Vigilância Epidemiológico do SINAN com o objetivo de investigar os casos de sífilis congênita no município. Através da pesquisa pode-se perceber que entre os anos de 2015 e 2016 constatou 3,7% do total de casos pesquisados chegaram a óbito, dos RN nascidos com sífilis 51,9% foram assintomáticos e 3,8% sintomáticos, os demais não apresentaram características. Do total de gestantes, 66,6% realizou pré-natal e foram diagnosticadas a partir do mesmo, possibilitando o tratamento. Para que haja uma menor prevalência de casos de sífilis é necessário que os profissionais da saúde adotem, além das políticas públicas já disponíveis outros hábitos que levem ao alcance de todas as classes de gestantes, para evitar mais casos de sífilis.Palavras-chave: Gestantes.

Syphilis is a disease that is found all over the world that causes damaging effects to the fetus through vertical transmission. This study aimed to analyze the processes that trigger the vertical transmission of syphilis through gestational and congenital syphilis notifications. It is a cross-sectional study. The sample totaled 129 notifications of syphilis in pregnant women and 132 notifications of congenital syphilis in the city of Natal, from 2011 to 2015. Data were obtained from the Information System for Disease Notification. The Chi-square, Student’s and Fisher’s tests were used to verify associations of interest. Diagnosis of maternal syphilis was predominant in the third trimester of pregnancy. Only 1.6% of the pregnant women were registered with an adequate treatment regimen, of these 16.3% had the concomitant treatment with their partners. Of the affected children, 78.8% were registered as asymptomatic. The factors that trigger vertical transmission are related to the late diagnosis of the pregnant woman and sexual partner(s) and the deficiencies in clinical/therapeutic management in relation to the phase of the disease. Strategies of professional training should be adopted to notify and expand the provision of information for epidemiological surveillance, aiming to strengthen care, reduce vertical transmission and enable the continuous analysis of this problem.

This descriptive cross-sectional study had the objective to evaluate the level of hope in women aged 50 or older suffering from HIV/AIDS, utilizing the Herth Hope Scale. The study involved 200 HIV- positive women, within the age bracket of interest, enrolled in three STI/AIDS specialized healthcare services in the city of São Paulo. The rules of the 196/96 Resolution were met and the study was approved by the Research and Ethics Committee. Data were collected in 2010 using two instruments: subjects' characterization and the Herth Hope Scale. Results demonstrated an average score of 36.75 (±4.52) on the Herth Hope Scale, with an interval of 12 to 48. This score is below the score obtained with the same scale for various pathologies, indicating a reduced perception of hope by the sample. Nurses should provide interventions to improve hope for these people, establishing realistic goals and strengthening social support.

Objective: To assess factors associated with the average number of dental caries in pregnant women. Method: Basic research design: This cross-sectional study was performed between January 2017 and December 2018 in Santa Maria, Brazil. Clinical setting and participants: Multistage random sampling resulted in the recruitment of 256 pregnant women from public health centers across the city. Clinical exams and semi-structured questionnaires including demographic, socioeconomic and behavioral questions were performed by trained interviewers. Main outcome measure: The experience of dental caries was evaluated through the mean value of the Decay, Missing, and Filled Surface Index (DMFS) by 4 trained and calibrated examiners. Multilevel Poisson regression models were used to evaluate the influence of different variables on the average number of dental caries. Rate ratio (RR) and respective 95% confidence intervals were calculated (CI 95%). Results: The prevalence of untreated dental caries was 62.7% in the sample, while the mean DMFS index was 10.27 (± 10.92). Women who smoked during pregnancy had a higher mean DMFS (RR 1.41; 95% CI 1.25-1.57). Furthermore, pregnant women who had poor self-ratings of oral health had a higher average DMFS (RR 1.21; 95% CI 1.10-1.32). Conclusions: The results showed that older age, ethnicity, fewer years in education and the presence of dental plaque resulted in higher means of DMFS.

RESUMOObjetivo: descrever o perfil epidemiológico dos casos de Sífilis Congênita (SC) notificados em um município nordestino. Método: trata-se de um estudo do tipo seccional, de caráter descritivo, de todos os casos de sífilis congênita notificados pelo Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN) e pelo Sistema de Informações sobre Nascidos Vivos (SINASC). Apresentam-se os resultados em forma de tabelas. Resultados: identificaram-se 57 casos, com taxa anual média de incidência de SC de 6,72 casos por mil nascidos vivos (NV), entre 2011-2015, variando de 11,20/1000 NV em 2012 a 3,77/1000 NV em 2015. Registrou-se no período uma diminuição de 7,4% nos casos, porém, ainda ultrapassando a meta do Ministério da Saúde de incidência menor ou igual a 1/1000 NV. Conclusão: aponta-se, pelo estudo, a necessidade de melhorias na qualidade da assistência pré-natal, pois, mesmo havendo a diminuição na incidência da SC, os indicadores mostram valores distantes da meta.

Method: this is a cross-sectional study of all cases of congenital syphilis reported by the SINAN and the SINASC. The results are presented in the form of tables. Results: 57 cases were identified, with a mean annual incidence rate of SC of 6.72 cases per thousand live births (LB), between 2011-2015, ranging from 11.20 / 1000 LB in 2012 to 3.77 / 1000 LB in 2015. A reduction of 7.4% in cases was recorded in the period, however, still exceeding the target of the Ministry of Health of incidence less than or equal to 1/1000 LB. Conclusion: the study points to the need for improvements in the quality of prenatal care, since even though there is a decrease in the incidence of CS, the indicators show values that are distant from the goal.

Justifications and Objectives: Syphilis is the most widespread bacterial infection in the human population, being the main form of transmission through sexual contact. It was analyzed the epidemiological data of the population of the city of Rio Branco, Acre, Brazil, with a positive diagnosis of syphilis between 2013 and 2017. Methods: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study, with a quantitative approach applied to data from Acre’s Central Public Health Laboratory of the population infected with T. pallidum. Results: Of a total of 5,239 people infected with syphilis, 56.8% are female between the ages of 20 and 30 years old and self-declared to have mixed ethnicity. Moreover, 1,006 pregnant women, 43% of whom were between 11 and 20 years old and 37.5% were in the 2 nd trimester of pregnancy. For live births, 107 children with early congenital syphilis were diagnosed. Conclusions: Infection prevention information should be intensified, especially for people who are unaware of STIs in the city, such as adolescents, elderly people and indigenous populations, in order to avoid syphilis transmission.

ObjectivesSyphilis morbidity is high among pregnant women in lower income countries with limited laboratory capacity. We evaluated a long-standing global Syphilis Serology Proficiency Programme (SSPP) that supports testing quality in national reference laboratories to determine if participation affects congenital syphilis elimination strategies.DesignIn this observational cross-sectional study, we calculated coverage on type, frequency and quality of syphilis testing reported by laboratories enrolled in the SSPP from 2008 to 2015. We used country-reported data to WHO on four congenital syphilis (CS) indicators and World Bank country economic data to compare coverage and completeness of reporting of indicators in lower income countries with and without an SSPP-enrolled laboratory.ParticipantsFrom 2008–2015, 78 laboratories from 51 countries participated in>1 SSPP evaluation; 56% were national reference laboratories, of which most (93%) participated for>3 years and 11 (22%) in all 24 cycles.ResultsMedian proficiency performance score was >95% regardless of test conducted. Of the 51 countries with an SSPP-enrolled laboratory, 22 (43%) were lower-income countries, of which 21 reported CS data during 2008–2015. Comparing CS data from 87 (90% of total) lower income countries with and without an SSPP-enrolled laboratory, countries with an SSPP-laboratory had stronger reporting on antenatal syphilis testing (p=0.04). For 2015, an estimated 74% of prenatal syphilis tests and 63% of positive tests reported to WHO from countries with an SSPP-enrolled laboratory.ConclusionThe SSPP has focused well on national reference laboratories, but has been only partially successful in recruiting laboratories from lower income countries. The finding that over half of syphilis infections in pregnant women living in countries with SSPP-enrolled laboratories suggests wide reach of the current quality assurance programme. However, reach could expand with focussed recruitment of laboratories from lower income countries.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the change in the clinical-epidemiological profile of patients attended at the specialized triage service for COVID-19 (COVID-19 tent) in the first three months of operation. Methods: Cross-sectional study, with users attended from March 2020 to May 2020 (n=379) at the COVID-19 tent in the city of Ponta Grossa, Paraná. Data collection was retrieved from an electronic form fed by tent professionals, which included sociodemographic characteristics, symptoms, risk factors of exposure, means of search and clinical conduct. Trend tests and chi-square tests were performed. Results: March showed a greater demand (n=197), motivated by mild symptoms and direct search (p<0.05). In the following months, there was a decrease in demand (n=93; n=89), however the search for referrals, ambulances and conditions that required medical attention, observation and hospitalization increased (p<0.05). The search resulting from exposure to risk factors has not changed (p>0.05). Conclusion: the profile has changed over time, reflecting, in the end, severe and critical symptoms, requiring intervention.
