Este estudo avaliou o desempenho do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares do Sistema Único de Saúde (SIH-SUS) na identificação de casos de near miss materno ocorridos em hospital do Rio de Janeiro, em 2008. Os casos foram captados pela revisão de todos os prontuários médicos de gestantes ou puérperas internadas na unidade, e a busca por potenciais eventos de near miss na base do SIH-SUS valeu-se de uma lista de procedimentos e códigos da Classificação Internacional de Doenças, 10ª revisão (CID-10), que fossem compatíveis com esse diagnóstico. A revisão de prontuários identificou 27 casos, enquanto na base do SIH-SUS encontrou-se 70 possíveis ocorrências de near miss. Porém, dessas 70 apenas cinco efetivamente eram casos near miss conforme os prontuários, correspondendo então à sensibilidade de 18,5% (IC95%: 6,3-38,1), especificidade de 94,3% (IC95%: 92,8-95,6), área sob a curva ROC de 0,56 (IC95%: 0,48-0,63) e valor preditivo positivo de 10,1% (IC95%: 4,7-20,3). Esses achados sugerem que o SIH-SUS não é adequado para o monitoramento dos casos de near miss materno.

We describe a case of Zika virus infection acquired during the first trimester in a HIV-infected pregnant woman that led to multiple fetal malformations and fetal demise in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

BackgroundZika virus (ZIKV) was first isolated in Uganda in 1947. In Brazil, the first reported case of ZIKV infection was in May 2015. Additionally, dengue (DENV) is endemic and there has been a recent outbreak of chikungunya (CHIKV). Since the clinical manifestations of different arboviral infections (AI) can be similar, definitive diagnosis requires laboratory testing.ObjectivesTo determine the prevalence of ZIKV, DENV, and CHIKV infections in a Brazilian cohort of HIV-infected pregnant women, to assess clinical/immunological characteristics and pregnancy outcomes of women with evidence of recent AI.Study designLaboratory diagnosis of ZIKV, DENV and CHIKV infections utilized serological assays, RT-PCR and PRNT. The tests were performed at the first visit, 34–36 weeks of gestation and at any time if a woman had symptoms suggestive of AI. Mann-Whitney tests were used for comparison of medians, Chi-square or Fisher’s to compare proportions; p< 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Poisson regression was used to analyze risk factors for central nervous system (CNS) malformations in the infant according to maternal symptomatology.ResultsOf 219 HIV-infected pregnant women enrolled, 92% were DENV IgG+; 47(22%) had laboratory evidence of recent AI. Of these, 34 (72%) were ZIKV+, nine (19%) CHIKV+, and two (4%) DENV+. Symptoms consistent with AI were observed in 23 (10%) women, of whom 10 (43%) were ZIKV+, eight (35%) CHIKV+. No CNS abnormalities were observed among infants of DENV+ or CHIKV+ women; four infants with CNS abnormalities were born to ZIKV+ women (three symptomatic). Infants born to ZIKV+ women had a higher risk of CNS malformations if the mother was symptomatic (RR = 7.20), albeit not statistically significant (p = 0.066).ConclusionsAmong HIV-infected pregnant women with laboratory evidence of a recent AI, 72% were ZIKV-infected. In this cohort, CNS malformations occurred among infants born to both symptomatic and asymptomatic pregnant women with Zika infection.
