Resumo: Introduction: The COVID-19 is caused by the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), and it’s main route of transmission is respiratory. However, recent studies have found genetic material of SARS-CoV-2 in feces of infected individuals and in sanitary sewage samples, pointing to new challenges. Objective: Synthesize the evidences on the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in human waste and in sewage, discussing possibilities of alternative transmission routes of COVID-19. Method: This is a narrative review, conducted in May 2020, in the platforms Web of Science, CAPES Publications Portal, Scopus and the Virtual Health Library, considering texts in any language. To date, few studies have reported the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in feces, urine and sanitary sewage. Results: However, the findings indicate the importance of including this theme in discussions in the current context of the pandemic. In Brazil, given the inability of mass testing, added to underreporting and the existence of asymptomatic cases, it’s important to consider alternatives that allow the collective diagnosis to direct actions in regions with higher risk of contagion and circulation of SARS-CoV-2. In this sense, the monitoring of sewage can be an alternative, also presenting economic relevance because it requires less expenditure of public money when compared to other measures – biochemical and molecular tests or other hard technologies. Conclusions: Even though this article does not exhaust the discussion of the theme, it advances by bringing data that can be added to the existing information on the forms of dispersion of SARS-CoV-2 in the environment.

Contudo, estudos recentes encontraram material genético do SARS-CoV-2 em fezes de indivíduos infectados e amostras de esgotos sanitários, apontando novos desafios. Objetivo: Sintetizar as evidências sobre a presença do SARS-CoV-2 em dejetos humanos e esgotos, discutindo possibilidades de vias de transmissão alternativas da COVID-19. Método: Trata-se de uma revisão narrativa, conduzida em maio de 2020, nas bases Web of Science, Portal de Periódicos da CAPES, Scopus e na Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, considerando textos em qualquer idioma. Resultados: Até a data das buscas, poucos estudos reportaram a presença do SARS-CoV-2 nas fezes e nos esgotos sanitários. Todavia, os achados sinalizam a importância de incluir esta temática nas discussões no atual contexto de pandemia. No Brasil, dada a incapacidade da testagem em massa, somada às subnotificações e existência de casos assintomáticos, torna-se importante cogitar alternativas que permitam diagnóstico coletivo para direcionar ações em regiões com maior risco de contágio e circulação do SARS-CoV-2. Assim, o monitoramento dos esgotos pode ser uma alternativa, apresentando, também, relevância econômica por requerer menos dispêndio de dinheiro público quando comparado a outras medidas – testes bioquímicos e moleculares ou outras tecnologias duras. Apesar das dificuldades relativas ao saneamento no Brasil, os esgotos podem ser mais uma ferramenta capaz de contribuir nas vigilâncias sanitária, ambiental e epidemiológica da COVID-19. Conclusões: Reconhece-se que este artigo não esgota a discussão da temática, mas avança por trazer dados que podem ser somados às informações já existentes sobre as formas de dispersão do SARS-CoV-2 no ambiente.Instituto Nacional de Controle de Qualidade em Saúde2020-06-02info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://visaemdebate.incqs.fiocruz.br/index.php/visaemdebate/article/view/1624Health Surveillance under Debate: Society, Science & Technology ; Vol. 8 No. 3 (2020): August; 132-138Vigilancia en Salud en Debate: Sociedad, Ciencia y Tecnología; Vol. 8 Núm. 3 (2020): Agosto; 132-138Vigil Sanit Debate, Rio de Janeiro; v. 8 n. 3 (2020): Agosto; 132-1382317-269Xreponame:Vigilância Sanitária em Debateinstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZporenghttps://visaemdebate.incqs.fiocruz.br/index.php/visaemdebate/article/view/1624/1168https://visaemdebate.incqs.fiocruz.br/index.php/visaemdebate/article/view/1624/1249Copyright (c) 2020 Vigilância Sanitária em Debate: Sociedade, Ciência & Tecnologia (Health Surveillance under Debate: Society, Science & Technology) – Visa em Debatehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.pt_BRinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSouza e Souza, Luís PauloSaraiva Soares, Alexandra FátimaRicci Nunes, Bárbara CarolineCosta, Flávia Cristina RodriguesSilva, Luís Fernando de Morais2023-06-27T15:12:36Zoai:ojs.visaemdebate.incqs.fiocruz.br:article/1624Revistahttps://visaemdebate.incqs.fiocruz.br/index.php/visaemdebatePUBhttps://visaemdebate.incqs.fiocruz.br/index.php/visaemdebate/oaiincqs.visaemdebate@fiocruz.br || gisele.neves@fiocruz.br2317-269X2317-269Xopendoar:2023-06-27T15:12:36Vigilância Sanitária em Debate - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)false
