Resumo: | A cross-sectional study of 354 children under two years of age was carried out in two periurban slums, with poor sanitary and socioeconomic conditions, located in Pelotas, southern Brazil. Most (79%) of the children studied were current users of pacifiers, 15% had never used one and the remaining 6% were ex-users. Among current users, 38% sucked a pacifier most of the time ("constant users"). Of the pacifiers in constant use, 93% were cultured for evidence of fecal contamination. Fecal coliforms were present in 49% of these. Diarrhoea was reported in 35% of all the children in the two weeks preceding the survey. Among constant pacifiers users, 40% had had diarrhoea in the preceding fortnight; this proportion was 32% for occasional users and 37% for non-users. These diferences were not statistically significant. |

Realizou-se um estudo transversal em 354 crianças menores de dois anos em duas vilas da periferia urbana de Pelotas, RS, Brasil, com precárias condições socioeconómicas. A maioria das crianças (79%) usava chupeta, 15% nunca as haviam utilizado e 6% já haviam abandonado o hábito. Dentre os usuários, 38% passavam a maior parte do tempo fazendo uso da chupeta (uso intenso). Foram realizadas culturas para coliformes fecais em 93% das chupetas em uso, indicando que 49% estavam contaminadas. Nas duas semanas anteriores à entrevista, 35% das crianças apresentaram diarréia - 40% entre as de uso intenso, 32% entre usuárias em tempo parcial e 37% entre não usuárias. Apesar da forte presença de coliformes fecais, parece não existir associação entre uso de chupeta e diarréia. Universidade de São Paulo.
