Resumo: Objectives: to characterize the clinical and epidemiological aspects of elderly people affected by Chikungunya fever. Methods: cross-sectional and retrospective study of confirmed cases of Chikungunya fever in elderly people. Frequencies and percentages were calculated for categorical variables. The chi-square test was used for intragroup comparisons of the proportional distribution of variables. Results: three hundred elderly were evaluated. There was a predominance of women (63.0%), with a mean age of 70.49 years, brown and black skin color (92.0%), living in the urban area (95.3%), reporting the disease in the chronic phase (57.3%), requiring hospitalization (74.3%), and with comorbidities (63.0%). The most prevalent symptoms were fever and arthralgia (100.0%), headache (98.0%), and low back pain (96.3%). Conclusion: cases of Chikungunya fever tend to be more severe in elderly patients and have greater clinical repercussions, especially with the presence of symptoms of pain.

Métodos: estudo transversal e retrospectivo de casos confirmados de febre de Chikungunya em idosos. Para as variáveis categóricas foram calculadas as frequências e percentuais. Utilizou-se o teste qui-quadro para comparação de proporções das distribuições das variáveis intragrupos. Resultados: foram avaliados 300 idosos com predominância de mulheres (63,0%), idade média de 70,49 anos, cores parda e preta (92,0%), moradores da zona urbana (95,3%), notificados na fase crônica da doença (57,3%), que necessitaram de hospitalização (74,3%) e com comorbidades (63,0%). Os sintomas mais prevalentes foram febre e artralgia (100,0%), cefaleia (98,0%) e lombalgias (96,3%). Conclusão: os casos de febre de Chikungunya tendem a ser mais graves em pacientes idosos e com maiores repercussões clínicas, em especial com a presença de sintomas álgicos.Universidade Federal do Ceará2019-08-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionEstudo transversalapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://periodicos.ufc.br/rene/article/view/4118410.15253/2175-6783.20192041184Rev Rene; Vol 20 (2019): Rev Rene; e41184Rev Rene; v. 20 (2019): Rev Rene; e411842175-67831517-3852reponame:Rev Rene (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC)instacron:UFCporenghttp://periodicos.ufc.br/rene/article/view/41184/99128http://periodicos.ufc.br/rene/article/view/41184/99129Copyright (c) 2019 Rev Renehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDourado, Cynthia Angélica Ramos de OliveiraQuirino, Evelyn Maria BragaPinho, Clarissa MourãoSilva, Mônica Alice Santos daSouza, Slayne Rayane Gomes deAndrade, Maria Sandra2020-05-28T15:34:47Zoai:periodicos.ufc:article/41184Revistahttp://periodicos.ufc.br/renePUBhttp://periodicos.ufc.br/rene/oairene@ufc.br||2175-67831517-3852opendoar:2020-05-28T15:34:47Rev Rene (Online) - Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC)false
