“…Thus, improvement of sanitary conditions, health education, and nutrition contribute to preventing the disease (Bajolet and Chippaux-Hyppolite 1998). The treatment involves oral rehydration therapy (major treatment), use of antiemetic and probiotics; nevertheless, the severe dehydration is treated with intravenous (IV) therapy (Onyon and Dawson 2018).…”

Aims Gastroenteritis is a digestive disorder among children with symptoms of abdominal cramps, diarrhoea, and vomiting. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of gastroenteritis in children in the Bannu district in 2019, and also contributed for adopting preventive measures to reduce mortality in children. Subject and methods A retrospective study was conducted to determine the prevalence of gastroenteritis in children in Bannu. The data were collected from official registers of admission maintained in the children wards in the Women and Children Hospital, Bannu. Patients with symptoms of gastroenteritis at the outpatient department were admitted to one of the children wards.Results Overall, 1456 children-897 (61.4%) males and 559 (38.6%) females-suffered from gastroenteritis during the study period. The age group ≤6 months demonstrated the highest share (37.8%), followed by >6 m ≤ 1y (35.5%), >1y ≤ 2y (15.8%), >2y ≤ 5y (7.3%), >5 ≤ 10y (3.2%), and > 10y ≤ 15y (0.4%). Overall, 89.1% of cases were from children ≤2 years old and 96.4% of cases were attributed to children ≤ 5 years of age. April demonstrated the highest percentage of prevalence of 17.7, followed by May (13.5%), November (13%), June (11.7%), September (10.4%), October (9.8%), July (9.5%), August (8.4%), March (3.4%), and February (2.6%). The age group ≤6 m was the dominant group during February through May and was replaced by the age group >6 m ≤ 1y during August through November. Conclusion Gastroenteritis showed a reduced prevalence when shifted from lower to higher age groups. Being male and age group ≤6 m showed the highest prevalence of gastroenteritis with the peak of disease in April. Further research is needed to determine the cause-based prevalence of different gastroenteritis cases in the study area.

“…Gastroenteritis is one of the most common illnesses in humans worldwide (Johargy et al 2010;Okitsu-Negishi et al 2004). The disease is the major/leading cause of mortality globally, particularly in children under 5 years of age (King et al 2003;Okitsu-Negishi et al 2004;Zamir et al 2006;Onyon and Dawson 2018).…”

“…Além disso, é uma das principais causas de morbidade e mortalidade de origem infecciosa em crianças menores de cinco anos, especialmente que vivem em condições mais precárias, cuja família possui baixo poder socioeconômico. (29)(30)(31)(32) A Doença de Chagas (DC) é uma antropozoonose, com alta prevalência, causada pelo protozoário Trypanosoma cruzi e bastante comum na Bahia, com média anual de 624 óbitos entre 2008 e 2017. A taxa de mortalidade pela DC é historicamente representativa no estado, apresentando a quarta maior taxa entre as unidades federadas, ficando atrás somente de Goiás, Distrito Federal e Minas Gerais.…”

Objetivo: este estudo propôs analisar as taxas de mortalidade por Doenças Infecciosas e Parasitárias do Extremo Sul da Bahia no período de 2008 a 2018. Métodos: trata-se de um estudo descritivo que considerou os dados referentes aos óbitos por “causas evitáveis” na população entre 05 a 74 anos, reduzíveis por ações adequadas de promoção à saúde, prevenção, controle e atenção às doenças de causas infecciosas, disponibilizados no Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade. Resultados: entre os anos de 2008 e 2018 foram notificados 1.347 óbitos no Extremo Sul da Bahia. Foi observada prevalência de óbitos em pessoas do sexo masculino, em todos os anos, representando 61,17%; a classe notificada com nenhuma escolaridade foi a mais afetada, com 321 óbitos; o intervalo de idades em que se concentrou o maior número de óbitos foi de 30 a 44 anos, representando 35,47%. As doenças infecciosas e parasitárias com maior ocorrência de óbitos foram HIV-Aids, Tuberculose e Diarreia/Gastroenterite de origem infecciosa presumível. Conclusão: as mortes por doenças infecciosas e parasitárias possuem estreita relação com fatores socioeconômicos, bem como aos processos de crescimento populacional acelerado, falta de saneamento básico e expansão urbana.
