Resumo: | Objective: To characterize the epidemiological profile of meningitis cases notified in the state of Piauí in 2018. Methodology: Epidemiological study, of a descriptive nature and quantitative approach, whose data were obtained through consultations to the SINAN database (Information System for Notifiable Diseases), made available by the Informatics Department of the Unified Health System (DATASUS). The variables studied were: age group, sex, type of diagnosis, etiologic agent, and notification by municipality. Results: 155 cases of meningitis were reported in the state of Piauí, with the city of Teresina having the highest number of cases (96.13%). As for the age group, subjects aged 20-39 years (25.80%), and male (61.29%), were the most affected by the disease. The majority of reported cases were of unspecified origin (42.58%), followed by viral or aseptic (33.55%) and bacterial (23.87%) meningitis. Conclusion: The study identified a possible underreporting of cases among municipalities in the interior of the state, which suggests greater action by the health system in the sense of conducting frequent epidemiological investigations, with a view to identifying the incidence of cases and whether these are in fact notified. However, regarding diagnostic tests, it was noted that culture, which is the gold standard, needs to be used more by hospital institutions. |

Metodología: Estudio epidemiológico, de carácter descriptivo y abordaje cuantitativo, cuyos datos se obtuvieron mediante consultas a la base de datos SINAN (Sistema de Información de Enfermedades Notificables), puesta a disposición por el Departamento de Informática del Sistema Único de Salud (DATASUS). Las variables estudiadas fueron: grupo de edad, sexo, tipo de diagnóstico, agente etiológico y notificación por municipio. Resultados: se notificaron 155 casos de meningitis en el estado de Piauí, siendo la ciudad de Teresina la que presentó el mayor número de casos (96,13%). En cuanto al grupo de edad, los sujetos de 20 a 39 años (25,80%) y el sexo masculino (61,29%) fueron los más afectados por la enfermedad. La mayoría de los casos notificados fueron de origen no especificado (42,58%), seguidos de meningitis viral o aséptica (33,55%) y bacteriana (23,87%). Conclusión: El estudio identificó un posible subregistro de casos entre los municipios del interior del estado, lo que sugiere una mayor acción del sistema de salud para realizar investigaciones epidemiológicas frecuentes, con miras a identificar la incidencia de los casos y si estos realmente están siendo notificado. Sin embargo, con respecto a las pruebas de diagnóstico, se señaló que las instituciones hospitalarias deben utilizar más la cultura, que es el estándar de oro.Objetivo: Caracterizar o perfil epidemiológico dos casos de meningite notificados no estado do Piauí no ano de 2018. Metodologia: Estudo epidemiológico, de cunho descritivo e abordagem quantitativa, cujos dados foram obtidos através de consultas à base de dados SINAN (Sistema de Informações de Agravos de Notificação), disponibilizada pelo Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS). As variáveis estudadas foram: faixa etária, sexo, tipo de diagnóstico, agente etiológico, e notificação por município. Resultados: Foram notificados 155 casos de meningites no estado do Piauí, sendo que a cidade de Teresina apresentou o maior número de casos, (96,13%). Quanto à faixa etária, sujeitos de 20-39 anos (25,80%), e do sexo masculino (61,29 %), foram os mais afetados pela doença. A maioria dos casos notificados era de origem não especificada (42,58%), seguida das meningites do tipo virais ou assépticas (33,55%) e bacterianas (23,87%). Conclusão: O estudo identificou uma possível subnotificação dos casos entre os municípios do interior do estado, o que sugere maior atuação do sistema de saúde no sentido de realizar investigações epidemiológicas frequentes, com vistas a identificar a incidência dos casos e se esses estão sendo de fato notificados. Não obstante, no que tange os testes diagnósticos, notou-se que a cultura, que é padrão ouro, precisa ser mais utilizada pelas instituições hospitalares.Research, Society and Development2020-12-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/1026010.33448/rsd-v9i11.10260Research, Society and Development; Vol. 9 No. 11; e82891110260Research, Society and Development; Vol. 9 Núm. 11; e82891110260Research, Society and Development; v. 9 n. 11; e828911102602525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/10260/9394Copyright (c) 2020 Dhayanny Nascimento Gonçalves; Iara Maria da Silva Delfino; Raimundo Nonato Cardoso Miranda Juniorhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGonçalves, Dhayanny Nascimento Delfino, Iara Maria da Silva Miranda Junior, Raimundo Nonato Cardoso 2020-12-10T23:37:57Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/10260Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:32:21.638192Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
