Resumo: Introduction: Febrile syndromes in adults living in regions with a tropical and/or subtropical climate represent a significant challenge for clinical practice and public health due to their infectious and non-infectious etiological diversity, as well as the lack of effective diagnostic resources. Furthermore, many of these tropical febrile illnesses have similar symptoms, which makes identifying the etiological agent even more difficult. Objectives, material and methods: This essay aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent progress in the diagnosis of febrile syndromes in adults in tropical regions, highlighting advances in laboratory tests, diagnostic imaging methods and clinical strategies. Results and conclusion: Several evaluation and differential diagnosis strategies for febrile syndromes, particularly in malaria-endemic areas have contributed to a faster, more accurate and more effective diagnosis, allowing timely treatment and prevention of complications. However, challenges remain, and continued research is needed to address the growing public health threats in these regions.

De plus, bon nombre de ces maladies fébriles tropicales présentent des symptômes similaires, ce qui rend encore plus difficile l’identification de l’agent étiologique. Objectifs, matériel et méthodes: Cet essai vise à fournir un aperçu complet des progrès récents dans le diagnostic des syndromes fébriles chez les adultes dans les régions tropicales, en mettant en évidence les progrès des tests de laboratoire, des méthodes d’imagerie diagnostique et des stratégies cliniques. Résultats et conclusion: Les diverses stratégies d’évaluation et de diagnostic différentiel des syndromes fébriles, en particulier dans les zones d’endémie palustre, ont contribué à un diagnostic plus rapide, plus précis et plus efficace, permettant un traitement rapide et la prévention des complications. Cependant, des défis demeurent et des recherches continues sont nécessaires pour faire face aux menaces croissantes pour la santé publique dans ces régions.Introdução: As síndromes febris em adultos que vivem em regiões de clima tropical e/ou subtropical representam um desafio significativo para a prática clínica e para a saúde pública devido à sua diversidade etiológica infecciosa e não infecciosa, bem como à falta de recursos diagnósticos eficazes. Além disso, muitas destas doenças febris tropicais têm sintomas semelhantes, o que dificulta ainda mais a identificação do agente etiológico. Objectivo, material e métodos: Este ensaio visa fornecer uma visão abrangente dos progressos recentes no diagnóstico das síndromes febris em adultos nas regiões tropicais, destacando os avanços em testes laboratoriais, métodos de diagnóstico por imagem e estratégias clínicas. Resultados e conclusão: As várias estratégias de avaliação e diagnóstico diferencial das síndromes febris particularmente em zonas endémicas de malária têm contribuído para um diagnóstico mais rápido, preciso e eficaz, permitindo o tratamento oportuno e a prevenção de complicações. No entanto, ainda persistem desafios, e a investigação contínua é necessária para enfrentar as crescentes ameaças à saúde pública nessas regiões.Universidade Nova de Lisboa2024-01-31info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.25761/anaisihmt.465https://doi.org/10.25761/anaisihmt.465Anais do Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical; Vol 22 No 2 (2023): Medicina Tropical e Desenvolvimento Sustentável - 6.º Congresso Nacional de Medicina Tropical; 128-131Anais do Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical; v. 22 n. 2 (2023): Medicina Tropical e Desenvolvimento Sustentável - 6.º Congresso Nacional de Medicina Tropical; 128-1312184-23100303-7762reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttp://anaisihmt.com/index.php/ihmt/article/view/465http://anaisihmt.com/index.php/ihmt/article/view/465/387Direitos de Autor (c) 2024 Anais do Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropicalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMarques, NunoSeixas, Jorge2024-02-14T20:53:07Zoai:ojs.anaisihmt.com:article/465Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T02:38:14.645380Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
