“…Durante o contexto da pandemia de COVID-19, a busca por temos na internet relatos acerca da patologia destacaram um aumento substancial na incidência de afecções dermatológicas, notadamente o eflúvio telógeno, afetando aproximadamente um terço dos indivíduos diagnosticados com a infecção pelo vírus (Han et al, 2022).…”

“…Adicionalmente, observou-se a ocorrência de uma reação microtrombótica nos folículos pilosos, a resposta a medicamentos e a deposição de imunocomplexos também nos folículos (Babaei et al, 2022;Christensen;Jafferany, 2022). Outros fatores esclarecidos incluem aspectos psíquicos, abrangendo tanto o estresse quanto a ansiedade (De Oliveira Izumi; Brandão, 2021; Han et al, 2022;Lv et al, 2021;Monari et al, 2022;Silva et al, 2023).…”

A pandemia de Covid-19, causada pelo SARS-CoV-2, gerou complicações sistêmicas, incluindo a chamada "Covid longa". Relatos atípicos de queda de cabelo após infecções despertaram preocupações sobre o eflúvio telógeno e a alopecia areata na população acometida. Este estudo qualitativo e descritivo buscou aprofundar a compreensão da relação entre Covid-19, eflúvio telógeno agudo e alopecia areata, utilizando uma revisão integrativa realizada nas bases de dados BVS e Pubmed. Das 134 referências encontradas, 9 foram selecionadas após leitura crítica como principais resultados. Examinamos a relação entre a perda capilar pós-Covid-19, destacando fatores imunológicos e psicológicos. A relação entre Covid-19 e alopecia areata foi evidenciada, com destaque para o potencial desencadeador do vírus. A prevalência notável de afecções dermatológicas, especialmente o eflúvio telógeno, ressalta a necessidade de uma abordagem abrangente no tratamento. Concluímos destacando a importância de uma compreensão holística no tratamento pós-Covid-19, considerando aspectos fisiopatológicos e impactos psicológicos. A compreensão dos fatores imunológicos, psicológicos e do ciclo capilar orienta estratégias terapêuticas eficazes, proporcionando suporte emocional aos afetados.

ObjectivesWe aimed to predict the number of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) infections before and during the COVID-19 pandemic using Internet search data.MethodsWe obtained actual HFMD cases from the National Institute of Infectious Disease and Internet search data using Google Trends between 2004 and 2021 in Japan. We calculated the Pearson correlation coefficients between actual HFMD cases and the search topic “HFMD” from 2004 to 2021. We conducted a cross-correlation analysis between the actual HFMD cases and 43 HFMD-related search terms before and during the pandemic. We identified the most significant predictors of HFMD infection using stepwise multiple linear regression.ResultsWe found that actual HFMD cases and Internet search volume peaked around July in most years, except for 2020 and 2021. The search topic “HFMD” presented a strong correlation with actual HFMD cases, but the correlation was weaker in 2004, 2008, and 2020. Results from stepwise multiple linear regression exhibited that the search terms “infect,” “daycare,” “vomit,” “HFMD,” “eczema,” “pain,” and “high fever” were the most significant predictors before the pandemic, while “infect,” “enterovirus,” “herpangina,” “kindergarten,” “myocarditis,” “HFMD,” “contact infection,” “blister,” “high fever” “dermatology,” and “plantar” were the most significant predictors during the pandemic.ConclusionsThe predictors for HFMD infections before and during the COVID-19 pandemic were different. The awareness of HFMD infection in Japan may improved during the COVID-19 pandemic. Continuous monitoring is important to promote public health and prevent resurgence. Public interest reflected in information-seeking behavior can be helpful for public health surveillance.
