Introdução: O surgimento do Vírus da Imunodeficiência Humana - HIV modificou o perfil clínico-epidemiológico da tuberculose - TB, aumentando sua morbimortalidade. Cerca de 5,6 milhões de pessoas no mundo estão coinfectadas, 350 mil só no Brasil. Objetivo: Identificar o coeficiente de incidência da co-infecção TB/HIV, buscando relacioná-lo com indicadores sociais. Metodologia: Estudo quantitativo, observacional, retrospectivo, socioeconômico, com amostra de pacientes co-infectados no Distrito Federal em 2007, segundo dados do Ministério da Saúde. Resultados: A incidência de TB-HIV foi de 46 casos e os maiores coeficientes ocorreram no Varjão (14,49) e no Paranoá (8,49), que possuem Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH) menor que o do Distrito Federal (DF). Asa Norte e Cruzeiro, que possuem alto IDH, também apresentaram um alto coeficiente de incidência de TB/HIV. As maiores taxas estiveram entre aqueles com baixa escolaridade. Há maior acometimento da população masculina (78%), especialmente entre 20-39 anos. Conclusão: Áreas de elevado IDH apresentaram um coeficiente de coinfecção maior que o do DF, o que indica a possível disseminação dessas doenças para segmentos sociais mais elevados. A AIDS trouxe consigo outro patamar para a tuberculose, levando à necessidade de estudos e intervenções que abranjam todos os segmentos sociais.
Exogenous poisonings are one of the principal accidents involving children and adolescents. The social isolation promoted by the COVID-19 pandemic raises concerns about the possibility of an increase in poisoning among children since most cases of poisoning occur in home environments. Therefore, the present study evaluated exogenous poisonings in children under ten years of age and adolescents aged 11 to 20 years old through data recorded at the Toxicological Information and Assistance Center in the Federal District (CIATOX-DF) from January to September 2020. The results showed a change in the number of notifications, with 1.037 poisonings registered in patients under 20 years of age. Registrations of poisoning by venomous animals, medications, and household cleaning products in children tend to be higher in months of vacation. This study demonstrated poisoning notifications by non-venomous animals in March and April and household cleaning products as the second leading cause of exogenous poisoning, demonstrating a clear temporal association among social isolation, increased use of household cleaning products, and exposure to these products. The multivariate analysis methodology managed to show the significant characteristics of the studied sample, contributing to creating local actions that aim to reduce the number of preventable cases of poisonings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
