RESUMO
OBJETIVO:
Investigar sazonalidade de ceratities infecciosas em serviço terciário no Brasil.MÉTODOS:
Estudo retrospectivo de dados coletados do Laboratório de Microbiologia Ocular do Departamento de Oftalmologia da Universidade Federal de São Paulo de 2005 a 2009. Foram definidas como ceratites infecciosas aquelas com cultura positiva para o agente. Dados foram distribuídos de acordo com os meses do ano e modelos de regressão linear com variáveis "dummy" foram utilizados para testar sazonalidade.RESULTADOS:
Foram diagnosticados 1.468 casos de ceratite infecciosa durante o período do estudo. Bactérias foram responsáveis por 80,3% dos casos seguidas por fungos (7%), Acanthamoeba (6%) e casos mistos (6,7%). Testes estatísticos não mostraram sazonalidade para bactérias (p=0,064), fungos (p=0,379), Acanthamoeba (p=0,062) ou casos mistos (p=0,441).CONCLUSÃO:
Não foi observada sazonalidade nas ceratites infecciosas em nossa amostra.ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To investigate the seasonality of infectious keratitis in a tertiary hospital in Brazil.METHODS:
Charts from the Ocular Microbiology Laboratory of the Department of Ophthalmology of the Federal University of Sao Paulo were reviewed from 2005 to 2009. Infectious keratitis were defined as those with positive culture. Data were distributed monthly and linear regressions with seasonal dummy models were used to test for seasonal trends.RESULTS:
Total of 1,468 cases of keratitis was diagnosed during the study period. Bacterial keratitis were reponsible for 80.3% of all cases, followed by fungal (7%), and Acanthamoeba (6%); 6.7% were mixed cases. Statistical tests showed that there were no seasonal trends for bacteria (p=0.064), fungi (p=0.379), Acanthamoeba (p=0.062) or mixed infections (p=0.441).Conclusions:
No seasonal trends for infectious keratitis were observed in our sample.Key words
