Background Dengue is an increasing public health concern in Brazil. There a need for updated evaluation of the economic impact dengue within country. We undertook this multicenter study to evaluate burden Methods estimated Brazil years 2009 2013 and epidemic season August 2012- September 2013. conducted cohort across four endemic regions: Midwest, Goiania; Southeast, Belo Horizonte Rio de Janeiro; Northeast: Teresina Recife; North, Belem. Ambulatory or hospitalized cases with suspected...
Background Dengue virus (DENV) was reintroduced into Brazil in 1986 and by 1995 it had spread throughout the country. In 2007 number of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) cases more than doubled a shift age distribution reported. While previously majority DHF occurred among adults, 53% children under 15 years old. The reasons for this have not been determined. Methods Findings Age stratified cross-sectional seroepidemiologic survey conducted Recife, 2006. Serostatus determined ELISA based...
A new approach to dengue vector surveillance based on permanent egg-collection using a modified ovitrap and Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis(Bti) was evaluated in different urban landscapes Recife, Northeast Brazil. From April 2004 2005, 13 cycles of four weeks were carried out. Geo-referenced ovitraps containing grass infusion, Bti three paddles placed at fixed sampling stations distributed over five selected sites. Continuous egg-collections yielded more than million eggs laid into 464...
Starting in August 2015, there was an increase the number of cases neonatal microcephaly Northeast Brazil. These findings were identified as being epidemic related to Zika virus (ZIKV) infection. The present study aims analyse spatial distribution Recife (2015–2016), which is Brazil, and its association with living conditions this city. This ecological that used data from reported State Health Department Pernambuco (August 2015 July 2016). basic unit analysis 94 districts Recife. case...
Background In Brazil, acute Chagas disease (ACD) surveillance involves mandatory notification, which allows for population-based epidemiological studies. We conducted a nationwide ecological analysis of the spatiotemporal patterns ACD notifications in Brazil using secondary data obtained from Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN) maintained by Brazilian Ministry Health. Methodology/Principal findings this all cases reported between 2001 and 2018 were included. Epidemiological...
Resumo No Brasil, a pandemia da COVID-19 tem sido severa nos estados das regiões mais pobres, como o Nordeste.

Muitos apresentavam alta proporção pessoas trabalho informal. Estados com...
Urban dengue fever is now considered a major public health threat in most American countries. A household survey was conducted the city of Goiania central Brazil 2001 to assess prevalence infection and individual area-based risk factors. Spatial point pattern analysis performed using dual Kernel method. total 1,610 households were surveyed; 1,585 individuals more than five years old had blood data collected. Sera tested for IgM/IgG antibodies by an enzyme-linked immunoassay. Area-based...
A cohort of cases initiating tuberculosis treatment from May 2001 to July 2003 was followed in Recife, Pernambuco State, Brazil, investigate biological, clinical, social, lifestyle, and healthcare access factors associated with three negative outcomes (treatment failure, dropout, death) separately as a group. Treatment failure delay, illiteracy, alcohol consumption. Factors dropout were age, prior TB treatment, illiteracy. Death HIV co-infection, head family's income. Main whole alcoholism,...
Dengue is a disease of great complexity, due to interactions between humans, mosquitoes and various virus serotypes as well efficient vector survival strategies. Thus, understanding the factors influencing persistence has been challenge for scientists policy makers. The aim this study investigate influence related humans vectors in maintenance viral transmission during extended periods.
Resumo Mesmo no período em que a pandemia de Covid-19 encontrava-se crescimento Nordeste do Brasil, iniciou-se adoção medidas flexibilização distanciamento social. O objetivo estudo é o avaliar pertinência das propostas flexibilização, tomando-se conta situação da cada local e momento foram adotadas. Tendo como referência as diretrizes OMS, construídos analisados indicadores operacionais para diretriz, contexto região Nordeste. Para análise comportamento epidemia, conforme selecionados,...
Knowledge regarding the risks associated with Zika virus (ZIKV) infections in pregnancy has relied on individual studies relatively small sample sizes and variable risk estimates of adverse outcomes, or surveillance routinely collected data. Using data from Brazilian Cohorts Consortium, this study aims, to estimate outcomes among offspring women RT-PCR-confirmed ZIKV infection during explore heterogeneity between studies.We performed an participant meta-analysis 1548 pregnant 13 studies,...
Evaluation of users' satisfaction with the health system brings back longstanding questions concerning quality services provided to Brazilian population. The current study analyzes outpatient and inpatient care based on results World Health Survey, conducted in Brazil 2003. To explain various aspects through a small number factors, factor analysis technique was used, principal components (PCA). Multiple regression models identified associations between scores different sociodemographic...
Abstract Background Tuberculosis is still a great challenge to public health in Brazil and worldwide. Early detection followed by effective therapy extremely important controlling the disease. Recent studies have investigated reasons for delays treatment, but there no agreed definition of what constitutes an "acceptable" delay. This study investigates factors associated with total delay treatment tuberculosis. Methods A cohort adult cases pulmonary tuberculosis diagnosed over two-year period...
Abstract Background Dengue virus (DENV) affects nonimunne human populations in tropical and subtropical regions. In the Americas, dengue has drastically increased last two decades Brazil is considered one of most affected countries. The high frequency asymptomatic infection makes difficult to estimate prevalence using registered cases locate risk intra-urban area at population level. goal this spatial point analysis was identify potential high-risk areas dengue, data collected household...

Aedes aegypti has developed evolution-driven adaptations for surviving in the domestic human habitat. Several trap models have been designed considering these strategies and tested monitoring this efficient vector of Dengue. Here, we report a real-scale evaluation system controlling mosquito populations based on egg sampling coupled with geographic information systems technology. The SMCP-Aedes, open technology data standards, was set up from March/2008 to October/2011 as pilot trial two...
