94 children and 25 adolescents, 42% male and 58% female, aged predominantly between six and ten years old (40%) were studied at the Martagão Gesteira Childcare and Pediatrics Institute (Rio de Janeiro Federal University) between 2005 and 2011. The prevalent clinical form of vitiligo was the generalized type (34%). Although the clinical response was similar between the treatment modalities, we decided for low and high power topical steroids in our routine. Halo nevi were found in seven (5.9%) cases. Thirty (25%) patients underwent specialized evaluation and 18 (60%) reported some relevant psychological situation.

ABSTRACT Objective: to map the epidemiological profile of children and adolescents with COVID-19 in the world literature. Methods: a scoping review systematized by the Joanna Briggs Institute protocol in the PubMed/MEDLINE, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus, Science direct and Google Scholar databases. Articles with children and/or adolescents with laboratory diagnosis of COVID-19 were used. Results: thirty-two articles were included in the review. Most children and adolescents were male, with contamination by family transmission. The most frequent clinical manifestations were fever, cough and diarrhea. Ten studies cited pre-existing condition/disease, and hospital length ranged from one to twenty days. Three deaths were reported and no study presented race/color, education and socioeconomic conditions. Conclusion: it was possible to screen the epidemiological profile with information about age group, sex, probable contamination of the disease, clinical manifestations, presence of pre-existing disease/condition, hospitalization and deaths among children and adolescents with COVID-19.

Epidemiological Profile

The Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is used in children as a definitive treatment for various oncological, immune deficiencies, hemoglobinopathy, and malignancies diseases that involve the hematological system, congenital metabolism disorders, among others. To characterize the clinical and epidemiological profile of children and adolescents submitted to HSCT at a referral service in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. This is a quantitative, retrospective, observational, descriptive and analytical quantitative approach approaching the medical records of children and adolescents submitted to HSCT in a referral hospital service for this type of transplantation in the state of Rio Grande do Sul North (RN). The final sample consisted of 35 records patients aged between 2 and 18 years old who underwent HSCT from February 2008 to December 2015 and who presented the data necessary for the study. The records analyzed showed a little majority of male patients (51.42%) and 60.00% of these men were students and 71.42% lived in the state of the Rio Grande do Norte. According to the clinical characteristics, 34.3% of the patients had Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and 25.71% had Acute Myeloid Leukemia as the main diagnosis. Gastrointestinal toxicities were the most frequent (97.1%) and all patients received antineoplastic/chemotherapeutic and antiemetic treatment. The allogeneic HSCT was the most frequently performed (57.14%) and the most used source of Hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) was the peripheral blood (54.29%) and 5.71% of these patients developed the Graft versus Host Disease (GVHD), of which one was affected by acute GVHD and another by chronic GVHD. Septsis was the most frequent cause of death (60%). The profile of the clinical variables presented by the children and adolescents of this study shows that the most prevalent diagnosis was ALL, the most frequent toxicities were gastrointestinal, cardiac, respiratory and hematological, the most common HSCT was allogeneic peripheral blood and the greatest cause of mortality was sepsis. These data are similar to studies conducted in North America, Europe and Asia.

Abstract Objectives: to describe the clinical-epidemiological profile of children and adolescents notified by COVID-19 in Ceará. Methods: descriptive epidemiological study from open data repositories of the State Government of Ceará, about cases of OVID-19 in children and adolescents, from 03/15/2020 to 07/31/2020. For data analysis the tests χ2 Pearson, Fisher's exact and Poisson's regression with robust variance were used. Results: 48,002 cases of children and adolescents suspected of COVID-19 were reported, of which 18,180 (8.9%) were confirmed. The median of confirmed cases was 12 years old, 10.5% were newborns/lactants, 10.7% were pre-school children, 21.2% were school children and 57.7% were adolescents. They evolved to death 0.3% of the cases, of which 15% had comorbidities. They needed hospitalization 1.8% of the cases. The highest probability of hospitalization was found in newborns/lactants, male and with comorbidities. Conclusions: most of the confirmed cases occurred in adolescents, however, the evolution of the disease was more severe and with greater need for hospitalization in the age group of newborns/lactants, being the male gender and the presence of comorbidities additional factors for the need for hospitalization.

The aim of this study was to describe the use of active transportation to school (ATS) for Brazilian children and adolescents through a systematic review. This review was carried out from February to March of 2018 by using databases from the area, governmental policies and research and by contacting researchers from this area. The databases used were: LILACS; BIREME; SCIELO; MEDLINE and SCOPUS. The search was performed in articles published from January 2007 to December 2017. The inclusion criteria were: original articles published in journals; articles that measured ATS; articles that evaluated Brazilian children and/or adolescents with ages ranging between 0 and 19 years of age, without specific clinical conditions, without diagnoses of diseases and non-athletes. Overall, 19 articles were selected for this study. Only 8 presented ATS values for gender, with boys and girls using ATS similarly, 4 for each gender. Regarding regions, 11 studies presented data from the Southern regions, 3 studies presented data from the Southeastern region, 3 from the Northeastern region and 2 studies presented data from Brazil as a whole. The Northern and Midwestern regions were not studied in any of the articles. Based on the results, the prevalence of ATS for children and adolescents varies according to the studies and regions in Brazil. Authorities should be encouraged to build monitoring systems for ATS to support planning and evaluation of public policies.

Diante de poucos estudos referentes à epidemiologia dos casos de violência contra crianças e adolescentes praticados no país, com resultados ainda menores ao se restringir ao Estado de Minas Gerais se faz necessário explorar esse fenômeno e suas características. O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar o perfil epidemiológico dos casos de violência praticados contra a população infantil e juvenil do Estado de Minas Gerais, entre os anos de 2007 e 2017. A metodologia utilizada foi um estudo descritivo, a partir de dados secundários obtidos do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN). A partir da análise de dados, foram registradas 693.495 notificações de casos de violência contra crianças e adolescentes no período relatado, sendo que 3.600 (0,51%) desses evoluíram para óbito. As vítimas foram, predominantemente, do sexo feminino com 421.715 (60,81%), negras 304.296 (43,87%), na faixa etária de 15 a 19 anos com 256.612 (37,0%), com baixa escolaridade 196.914 (28,4%). Foi observado o predomínio da violência física em 332.369 (47,93%), praticada por familiar em 268.857 (38,76%), com relato de uso de álcool em 98.563 (14,21%). Assim, este estudo realça a necessidade de maior atenção a essa população vulnerável e de estabelecimento de ações efetivas no combate a esse tipo de violência.   Palavras-chave: Brasil.

Vigilância em Saúde.     Abstract Considering the small number of studies found regarding the violence epidemiology against children and adolescents practiced in the country, with even smaller results when restricting the search to the state of Minas Gerais (MG), it proved necessary to explore this phenomenon and its characteristics. The present study aims to analyze the violence epidemiological profile against the child and youth occurrences in MG, between the years 2007 and 2017. The methodology used was a descriptive study, based on secondary data obtained from the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN). Taking the data analysis into account, 693,495 notifications of violence against children and adolescents occurrences were recorded in the reported period, of which 3,600 (0.51%) led to death. The victims were predominantly female, representing 421,715 (60.81%) of them, 304,296 (43.87%) were black, 256,612 (37.0%) were aged between 15 and 19 years old and 196,914 (28.4 %) had low education. There was a predominance of physical violence in 332,369 (47.93%) of the cases, 268,857 (38.76%) were practiced by a relative, with reports of alcohol use in 98,563 (14.21%) occurrences. Thus, this study highlights the urge for greater attention to this vulnerable population and for the establishment of effective actions to combat this sort of violence.   Keywords: Brazil.

OBJECTIVE: To study the epidemiology of exogenous intoxications in children and adolescents of Barra Garças, Mato Grosso, from January 2008 to September 2013.METHOD: This was a cross-sectional, retrospective, and descriptive epidemiological study. Data were collected from the Disease Notification System (Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação [SINAN]) of the municipality, processed using Microsoft Excel, and evaluated through BIOESTAT statistical software. The variables included were: sex; age; toxic agent; time and place of service; route of administration; circumstance; and classification of intoxication. The age range was established according to the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, comprising children aged from 0 to 9 years old and adolescents aged from 10 to 19 years old.RESULTS: A total of 125 cases of accidental exogenous poisoning was registered, including 77 children and 48 adolescents. Food and beverages (38.4%) and drugs (24.0%) were the most common groups of toxic agents responsible for the poisoning. The largest age group affected by intoxication was composed of children aged from 0 to 4 years old (43.2%) and adolescents aged from 10 to 14 years old (19.7%). Regarding the circumstances, intoxication occurred due to suicide attempts (16.8%) and accidental events (23.2%) in adolescents and children, respectively. The study revealed a higher frequency of poisoning in girls.CONCLUSION: Exogenous intoxications occurred predominantly in children up to 4 years old, through the accidental consumption of food or drinks. Thus, the adoption of educational prevention programs for children's family members and caregivers is necessary.
