Manifestações psiquiátricas na reumatologia: uma revisão sistemática / Psychiatric manifestations in rheumatology: a systematic review

Doenças reumatológicas, são doenças crônicas que geralmente apresentam múltiplas causas. São representadas principalmente pela artrite reumatoide e lúpus eritematoso sistêmico. Sabe-se, no entanto, que existe uma ligação entre os processos autoimunes subjacentes às doenças reumáticas e aos transtornos mentais. O objetivo desta revisão foi avaliar as manifestações psiquiátricas em pacientes com condições reumatológicas. Uma busca sistemática na literatura foi realizada, nos portais BIREME e PubMed de estudos publicados nos últimos 10 anos. A busca foi realizada utilizando descritores em português e seus correspondentes em inglês: “artrite reumatoide”, “lúpus eritematoso sistêmico”, “esclerose sistêmica” e “síndrome de Sjögren” e “manifestações psiquiátricas”. Os artigos que foram incluídos após leitura na íntegra, tiveram seus dados coletados em instrumento padronizado e elaborado antes do início da busca. foram identificados e adicionados através da estratégia de busca 14 artigos. Ansiedade, depressão, incapacidade cognitiva e insônia estão entre as manifestações psiquiátricas mais prevalentes. A frequente presença de manifestações psiquiátricas na reumatologia acende um alerta entre os profissionais para priorizar a qualidade de vida de seus pacientes, reduzindo suas limitações

Methods: Descriptive, cross-sectional epidemiological study of VL cases in children under 15 years of age, diagnosed at the Hospital for Tropical Diseases (Araguaína) in the period from 2007 to 2012. Clinical data were gathered from medical reports; meteorological data were obtained at the Meteorological Measurement Department of the Federal University of Tocantins. Results: The study assessed 821 medical reports of patients under 15 years of age diagnosed with VL. The disease affected both genders, with no significant difference (p= 0.67); the urban area had the highest prevalence of the disease (99.03%; p=0.0001); the most affected ethnic group was mixed (pardo) race (85.5%) (p=0.0001). The age group with the highest prevalence of the disease was between 1 and 5 years (58.6%) (p=0.0001). The most used diagnostic criterion was laboratorial (92.3%) (p=0.0001). The Araguaína Sul primary healthcare unit had the record with the highest rate of cases (20.8%). The highest incidence rate occurred in 2008, following a reduction showing a negative and significant correlation (p<0.04). The highest incidence coefficient occurred in the age group of under 1 year of age, while the highest mortality and lethality coefficients took place in 2008 and 2011. Most patients (96.2%) reached the cure of the disease. Regarding mortality, the most affected age group was between one and five years of age (47.8%). The climatic condition had a small effect on the epidemiology of the disease. Conclusions: In Araguaína, visceral leishmaniasis is an urban-based, endemic disease, with higher prevalence in children between one and five years of age, showing a high incidence coefficient and strongly contributing to child mortality rates. Among the environmental factors assessed by this study, temperature was the one aspect that influenced the VL incidence coefficient, showing that milder temperatures may increase the number of cases of this disease.Introdução: O objetivo principal deste estudo é demonstrar as características epidemiológicas e ambientais da LV em menores de 15 anos de idade no período de 2007 a 2012. Método: É um estudo epidemiológico descritivo e transversal de casos diagnosticados de LV em menores de 15 anos, no Hospital de Doenças Tropicais (Araguaína-TO) no período de 2007 a 2012. As informações clínicas e óbitos foram obtidos dos prontuários de pacientes. Os dados meteorológicos foram cedidos pela Casa de Medições Meteorológica da Universidade Federal do Tocantins. Resultados: Foram analisados 821 prontuários de pacientes menores de 15 anos de idade com diagnóstico de LV. Não houve diferença significativa de número de casos entre os sexos (p= 0,67), com maior prevalência dos casos da zona urbana (99,03%) (p= 0,0001), sendo a raça parda a mais acometida com (85,5%) (p=0,0001). A faixa etária com maior prevalência foi entre um a cinco anos (58,6%) (p=0,0001). O Critério diagnóstico mais usado foi o Laboratorial (92,3%) (p=0,0001). A UBS Araguaína Sul registrou o maior número de casos (20,8%). O maior coeficiente de incidência ocorreu em 2008, seguido de um declínio apresentando correlação negativa e significativa (p<0,04). O maior coeficiente de incidência ocorreu na faixa etária menor de um ano e os maiores coeficientes de mortalidade e letalidade ocorreram nos anos de 2008 e 2011. A evolução clínica para a cura ocorreu na maioria dos pacientes (96,2%). A maior taxa de mortalidade por LV ocorreu na faixa etária de um a cinco anos (47,8%). A condição climática pouco influenciou na epidemiologia da doença. Conclusões: Assim, a LV na cidade de Araguaína é uma doença com características urbana, endêmica, com predileção para crianças menores de cinco anos de idade, com alto coeficiente de incidência, quando comparado a outros estudos, contribuindo para a mortalidade infantil nas faixas etárias estudadas, não se obteve correlação da doença com os fatores ambientais, com exceção da temperatura onde apesar de apresentar uma correlação negativa foi significativa demonstrando que em temperatura mais amenas houve um incremento no número de casos

Epidemiological and environmental aspects of visceral leishmaniasis in children under 15 years of age between 2007 and 2012 in the City of Araguaína, State of Tocantins, Brazil

Introduction Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) stands out as a zoonosis observed on four continents and also in urban expansion zones in several regions of Brazil. Methods A cross-sectional epidemiological study of VL cases in children under 15 years of age in the period from 2007 to 2012. Clinical data were gathered from medical reports; meteorological data were obtained at the Meteorological Measurement Department of UFT. Environmental variables were divided into two periods, rainy and dry. Results The study revealed no difference by gender (p=0.67) among the 821 patients. However, the most affected age group was between one and five years of age (58.6%; p<0.01); the highest prevalence of the disease (99.03%; p<0.01) occurred in urban zones; and the most affected ethnic group (85.5%; p<0.01) was mixed race. The highest incidence coefficients in this population occurred in 2007 and 2008 (578.39/100,000 inhabitants; 18.5/100,000 inhabitants, respectively), whereas the highest lethality coefficients occurred in 2008 and 2011 (0.85/100 deaths). There was no significant correlation between average rainfall and the number of VL cases. The correlation between temperature and number of VL cases was negative (r = -0.4039; p<0.01). Conclusions In Aragua&#237;na, visceral leishmaniasis in children under 15 years is an urban-based endemic disease distributed across all districts of the city wherein temperature as an environmental factor, a higher prevalence in mixed race children between one and five years of age, and a high incidence coefficient all strongly contribute to child mortality

Visceral leishmaniasis and leishmaniasis-HIV coinfection: comparative study

Abstract INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to draw clinical and epidemiological comparisons between visceral leishmaniasis (VL) and VL associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. METHOD: Retrospective study. RESULTS: Of 473 cases of VL, 5.5% were coinfected with HIV. The highest proportion of cases of both VL and VL/HIV were found among men. A higher proportion of VL cases was seen in children aged 0-10 years, whereas coinfection was more common in those aged 18-50 years. CONCLUSIONS: VL/HIV coinfected patients presented slightly differently to and had a higher mortality rate than those with VL only
