Evaluation of the design of the influenza-like illness sentinel surveillance system in Brazil
The influenza-like illness (ILI) sentinel surveillance operates in Brazil to identify respiratory viruses of public health relevance circulating in the country and was first implemented in 2000. Recently, the COVID-19 pandemic reinforced the importance of early detection of the circulation of new viruses in Brazil. Therefore, an analysis of the design of the ILI sentinel surveillance is timely. To this end, we simulated a sentinel surveillance ne…
Avaliação do desenho da vigilância sentinela de síndrome gripal no Brasil
A vigilância sentinela de síndrome gripal atua no Brasil identificando os vírus respiratórios de importância para a saúde pública circulantes no país, e começou a ser implementada em 2000. Recentemente, a pandemia de COVID-19 reforçou a importância da detecção precoce de novos vírus em circulação no território brasileiro. Assim, se faz oportuna uma análise do desenho da vigilância sentinela de síndrome gripal. Para tal, simulamos uma rede sentine…
Low prevalence of influenza A strains with resistance markers in Brazil during 2017–2019 seasons
The influenza A virus (IAV) is of a major public health concern as it causes annual epidemics and has the potential to cause pandemics. At present, the neuraminidase inhibitors (NAIs) are the most widely used anti-influenza drugs, but, more recently, the drug baloxavir marboxil (BXM), a polymerase inhibitor, has also been licensed in some countries. Mutations in the viral genes that encode the antiviral targets can lead to treatment resistance. W…
Diagnostic accuracy of a Sars-CoV-2 rapid test and optimal time for seropositivity according to the onset of symptoms
Point-of-care serological tests for SARS-CoV-2 have been used for COVID-19 diagnosis. However, their accuracy over time regarding the onset of symptoms is not fully understood. We aimed to assess the accuracy of a point-of-care lateral flow immunoassay (LFI). Subjects, aged over 18 years, presenting clinical symptoms suggestive of acute SARS-CoV-2 infection were tested once by both nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal RT-PCR and LFI. The accuracy of …
Absence of detection of RSV and influenza during the Covid-19 pandemic in a Brazilian cohort
BACKGROUND: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and influenza are prevalent seasonal community viruses. Although not completely understood, SARS-CoV-2 may have the same means of transmission. Preventive social measures aimed at preventing SARS-CoV-2 spread could impact transmission of other respiratory viruses as well. The aim of this study is to report the detection of RSV and influenza during the period of social distancing due to COVID-19 pandem…
Epidemiological and clinical characteristics of the Covid-19 epidemic in Brazil
SP3-92 Influenza like illness monitoring by telephone survey in Brazil, Vigitel, 2010
Introduction In Brazil, after influenza pandemic in 2009, influenza surveillance system was restricted to cases who sought healthcare assistance within severity signs and symptoms. Objective To estimate the prevalence of influenza like illness (ILI) cases, ILI cases who sought healthcare assistance, with pandemic influenza H1N1 2009 (pH1N1) medical suspicion and oseltamivir prescription among the pH1N1 suspected cases by telephone survey. Method …
Malária em Cruzeiro do Sul (Amazônia Ocidental brasileira)
The type of economic activity fostered in peri-urban areas characterized by unstable malaria transmission, which are typical of Latin America, must be very well planned. Malaria control in Cruzeiro do Sul relied on integrated strategies implemented simultaneously by federal, state, and city governments, as recommended by the National Malaria Control Program. It is important to underscore the usefulness of a reliable information system such as SIV…
