“…The mothers’ reports of asthma symptoms may be imprecise, given their erroneous interpretations of perceptions of these symptoms, as well as problems understanding questions, particularly when we consider that this population has a low socioeconomic status. Difficulties reported by the mothers in understanding the term “wheezing,” as used in the ISAAC questionnaire, have already been reported ( Frota, Martins, & Santos, 2008 ).…”

This study aims to describe the types of intrafamilial violence perpetrated against children according to living conditions, family factors, and child characteristics, and to identify the association between types of intrafamilial violence and asthma symptoms in atopic and non-atopic children. A cross-sectional study was carried out with 1,370 caregivers as part of the Social Changes, Asthma and Allergy in Latin America (SCAALA) study, conducted in 2006 in Brazil. The study population was selected by random sampling. The main outcome measures were atopic and non-atopic asthma. We investigate the association between intrafamilial violence and asthma symptoms in atopic and non-atopic children. A backward multivariate logistic polytomous regression was performed to verify the main association. Nonviolent discipline (NVD) and maltreatment nonviolent discipline (MNVD) were positively associated with non-atopic asthma symptoms (NVD: odds ratio (OR) = 1.95/95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.17–3.25; MNVD: OR = 1.95/95% CI = 1.19–3.20). However, for the most severe intrafamilial violence, this association was not found after control of potential confounders. This study demonstrates the effect of types of intrafamilial violence on non-atopic asthma. Intrafamilial violence against children represents one more component in the determination of non-atopic asthma in Latin America.

“…In addition, other authors found that children complained of fever of various origins, such as infections of the upper and lower airways, among others (14) . Just as a study of a systematic review on the inappropriate use of emergency services corroborates to the result, saying the majority of complaints accounted for fever (21.6%), followed by vomiting (18.1%) (15) .…”

There was an association between risk assessment and the specialty clinical medicine (p <0.001), with the highest percentage rating from yellow to blue in medical clinic. The prevalent complaint was fever with yellow classification.

“…Muitos fatores contribuem para isso, tais como os componentes culturais, que influenciam no processo de aquisição das medidas corretas para prevenção da doença. Assim, no intuito de melhorar a qualidade no cuidado ao outro (11) , é importante os profissionais reconhecerem e identificarem as implicações dos fatores socioculturais no processo saúde--doença, buscando ampliar o foco do cuidado para além da dimensão biológica do indivíduo.…”

Como medidas preventivas mais adotadas mencionaram evitar: ambiente empoeirado, andar descalço, beber água gelada, exposição a fumaças, contato com brinquedos ou animais de pelúcia. Tosse freqüente, "peito cerrado" e dificuldade de respirar foram os sintomas mais citados.
