RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the mortality trend of young men who were victims of traffic injuries involving motorcycles in all Brazilian capitals from 2001 to 2015. METHODS: A time-series study on all deaths of men aged 20-39 years old due to traffic injuries involving motorcycles in all 27 Brazilian capitals. We used the joinpoint regression model for temporal analysis and calculated the Annual Percent Change (APC) and Average Annual Percent Change (AAPC) to verify the mortality trends. RESULTS: A total of 12,058 deaths of young men were recorded in the Brazilian capitals during the period studied. The highest mortality rates were observed in Boa Vista/Roraima (34.0/100,000 population) and Palmas/Tocantins (29.80/100,000). Twelve of the 27 capitals showed an increasing trend in mortality, with the highest percentage increase being observed in Salvador (APC: 29.0%) and São Paulo (APC: 13.1%). None of the capitals showed a decline in the trend of mortality. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, the mortality of young men from traffic injuries involving motorcycles shows an increasing trend in 12 of the 27 capitals, which represents a public health problem that requires the implementation of more effective public policies.

RESUMO OBJETIVO: Analisar a tendência temporal da mortalidade de homens jovens vítimas de acidente de trânsito envolvendo motocicletas em todas as capitais brasileiras de 2001 a 2015. MÉTODOS: Estudo de séries temporais incluindo as mortes de homens de 20 a 39 anos por lesões no trânsito envolvendo motocicletas nas 27 capitais brasileiras. Para a análise, foi utilizado o modelo de regressão do ponto de inflexão e calculada a Variação Percentual Anual (APC) e a Variação Percentual Anual Média (AAPC). RESULTADOS: Foram registradas 12.058 mortes de homens jovens nas capitais brasileiras durante o período estudado. As maiores taxas de mortalidade foram observadas em Boa Vista/Roraima (34,0/100.000 habitantes) e Palmas/Tocantins (29,80/100.000). Doze capitais apresentaram tendência crescente de mortalidade, sendo o maior aumento percentual em Salvador (APC: 29,0%) e São Paulo (APC: 13,1%). Nenhuma das capitais mostrou declínio nas taxas. CONCLUSÕES: A mortalidade de jovens por lesões no trânsito envolvendo motocicletas tem mostrado uma tendência crescente em 12 capitais, o que representa um problema de saúde pública que requer a implementação de políticas públicas mais eficazes.

We describe a case of fetal death associated with a recent infection by Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) in a Brazilian pregnant woman (positive RT-PCR in blood and placenta). Zika virus (ZIKV) infection during pregnancy was also identified, based on a positive RT-PCR in a fetal kidney specimen. The maternal infection caused by the ZIKV was asymptomatic and the CHIKV infection had a classical clinical presentation. The fetus had no apparent anomalies, but her weight was between the 3rd and 10th percentile for the gestational age. This is the second case report of congenital arboviral co-infection and the first followed by antepartum fetal death.
