ABSTRACT

O Amapá é uma região hiperendêmica para hepatites virais B (HB) e C (HC), As Políticas Públicas de Saúde garantem o direito dos pacientes ao acesso universal e gratuito à assistência médica e ao tratamento das HB e HC, Neste sentido, o estudo avaliou a assistência à saúde oferecida aos pacientes com HB e HC, atendidos pelo SUS, no Amapá, Os dados foram coletados junto aos prontuários médicos e comparados com os Protocolos Clínicos e Diretrizes Terapêuticas para HB e HC e com a rede assistencial do SUS, Foram identificados e incluídos no estudo 123 pacientes atendidos no Centro de Referência em Doenças Tropicais, dos quais 43 e 85 pacientes apresentaram diagnóstico de HB e HC, respectivamente (cinco coinfectados com HB e HC), O acompanhamento clínico ambulatorial dos pacientes foi inferior a seis meses (período necessário para diagnóstico conclusivo de infecção crônica) para 53,7% dos pacientes devido ao abandono do tratamento, O exame de aminotransferases não foi solicitado à 37,4% dos pacientes e a biópsia hepática foi realizada por 84% dos pacientes com algum grau de severidade da doença, Dezessete pacientes receberam interferon-alfa peguilado como farmacoterapia inicial, mas a escolha inicial do esquema terapêutico mais potente não é recomendada pois não deixa opções para terapia de resgate em casos de resposta negativa à terapia inicial, A assistência à saúde dos pacientes com HB e HC no estado do Amapá apresenta deficiências, tais como o abandono do tratamento, inclusão e exclusão inadequada de pacientes nos protocolos de tratamento, além da dificuldade de acesso aos exames de diagnóstico e ao monitoramento da doença nos pacientes infectados...


Amapá, a Brazilian state, is a hyper endemic area for hepatitis B (HB) and C (HC). The Public Health Policies ensure the right of patients to free access to health care and treatment of HB and HC.

One hundred and twenty three patients treated at the Reference Center for Tropical Diseases were identified and included in the study, of which 43 and 85 patients were diagnosed with HB and HC, respectively (five co-infected with HB and HC). Clinical follow-up of patients was less than six months (period required for conclusive diagnosis of chronic infection) to 53.7% of patients due to treatment dropout. Examination of aminotransferases was not prompted to 37.4% of patients and liver biopsy was performed for 84% of patients with any degree of severity. Seventeen patients received pegylated alfainterferon as initial pharmacotherapy, however, the initial choice of the most potent regimen is not always indicated because it does not let options for a rescue therapy in case of a negative response to therapy. The healthcare provided to these patients in the Amapá state has deficiencies noted by the abandonment of treatment, diagnostic testing and unrealized monitoring and patients inadequately included or excluded from pharmacotherapy...
