Recent dengue virus infection: epidemiological survey on risk factors associated with infection in a medium-sized city in Mato Grosso

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Dengue is considered to be the most important arbovirus worldwide, with important complications that increase its lethality. In Brazil, an endemic country, the disease reaches significant incidence levels, with occurrences of serious cases and high costs of hospitalizations for its treatment. OBJECTIVE: To analyze risk factors among individuals with recent histories of dengue infection in a medium-sized city in Mato Grosso. DESIGN AND SETTING: Descriptive cross-sectional study, of epidemiological-survey type, conducted among the urban population of a city located in mid-northern Mato Grosso. METHODS: A seroepidemiological survey using questionnaires and collection of biological material was conducted among 596 adults aged ≥ 18 years who had been selected through a cluster sampling process. Positive dengue cases were those with positive results from anti-dengue immunoassays (ELISA). Statistical analyses with descriptive and inferential techniques were used, with 95% confidence intervals and a 5% significance level. RESULTS: The seroepidemiological profile of the study participants was predominantly female, with ages between 18 and 39 years, self-declared non-white race/color, not more than eight years of education and not living with a companion. Among the sanitary factors analyzed, the following were risk factors for dengue virus infection: no running water at home; no water supply from the public piped network; no waste from drains or toilets sent to the sewage network; endemic disease combat agents visiting the home; and presence of mosquito breeding sites at home. CONCLUSION: Low schooling levels and previous dengue virus infection were associated with current dengue virus infection.

Análise familiar de agentes de segurança prisional (ASP) de uma cadeia pública feminina mato-grossense / Family analysis of prison security agents (ASP) of a Mato Grosso State female public chain

A família é uma rede onde os integrantes compõem vínculos de interdependência, influenciando nas relações sociais, podendo ser fonte de apoio para as dificuldades. Objetivamos realizar análise familiar de agentes penitenciários de uma cadeia pública feminina de MT. Através de um estudo descritivo, exploratório e misto, realizado com funcionários da cadeia feminina de MT, a análise foi realizada através construção de Genograma e Ecomapa com análise pautada no Modelo Calgary de Avaliação da Família. Analisando as características familiares constatou-se uma fragilidade nas relações familiares, dificuldades de relacionamento interpessoal em casa e no trabalho e estresse ocupacional que pode estar relacionado ao conflito trabalho-família. Ao entender o contexto familiar e social que os ASP estão inseridos, pode-se conhecer os principais riscos que influenciam na qualidade de vida possibilitando intervenções que auxiliem no enfrentamento de dificuldades.

The family is a network where members integrate interdependence bonds, influencing social relations, and can be a source of support for difficulties. We aim to carry out a family analysis of penitentiary agents of a female public network of TM. Through a descriptive, exploratory and mixed study carried out with employees of the female TM chain, the analysis was performed through a genogram and ecomap construct with analysis based on the Calgary Family Assessment Model. Analyzing family characteristics, we found a fragility in family relationships, difficulties in interpersonal relationships at home and at work, and occupational stress that may be related to work-family conflict. By understanding the family and social context that ASPs are inserted, one can know the main risks that influence the quality of life enabling interventions that help in coping with difficulties.

Knowledge and actions for the control of the vector Aedes aegypti in a municipality in the Legal Amazon.

Infections caused by arboviruses that have mostly impacted the Brazilian morbidity and mortality are caused by the same vector, Aedes aegypti. Preventive actions related to the vector are the most effective strategies in the prevention and control of these diseases. This study aimed to associate the knowledge on the vector that transmits dengue, Zika and chikungunya with the sociodemographic and behavioral preventive practices towards Aedes aegypti in the municipality of Tangara da Serra, Mato Grosso State, in the Brazilian Legal Amazon. A probabilistic urban population sampling was obtained by clusters: census sectors and households. The sample size calculation considered 10% of loss and a 1.5 design effect. This is a cross-sectional research carried out through a household survey in February and March 2018. There were 583 participants. The study variables were knowledge on the vector, sociodemographic characteristics and preventive practices related to the vector. The statistical analysis was based on a bivariate analysis and Poisson multiple regressions. Inadequate or insufficient knowledge on the vector Aedes aegypti remained associated with education in the categories illiterate (p<0.001) and 8 years of study or less (p<0.001), in addition to not adopting practices of capping and cleaning the water tank (p=0.002) and not using insecticides at home (p=0.007). It is concluded that there is a need for health communication actions that consider characteristics the population, especially the level of education and previous knowledge on the vector, allowing a dialogical approach and enabling the community participation in preventive practices and control of the vector Aedes aegypti .

Sociodemographic and sanitary profile of chikungunya virus infection in medium-sized municipality in Mato Grosso, from January to March 2018, Brasil / Perfil sociodemográfico y sanitario de la infección por el virus de la chikungunya en un municipio de tamaño medio de Mato Grosso, de enero a marzo de 2018, Brasil

Abstract Introduction: The chikungunya virus has already been identified in more than 60 countries in Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas, and chronicity after the disease impacts the lives of those affected by the virus, as well as society, the economy and public health. The objective was to characterize, through epidemiological survey, the profile of chikungunya infection in a mid-sized municipality in Mato Grosso according to sociodemographic and sanitary factors. Methods: The serum-epidemiological survey was conducted with 596 adults aged ≥ 18 years selected by cluster sampling process, with application of questionnaires and biological material collection. Positive cases of chikungunya fever were those with positive results in the anti-chikungunya virus enzyme immunoassay (ELISA). The statistical analyses used descriptive and inferential techniques with confidence intervals of 95% and a significance level of 5%. Results: The overall prevalence of chikungunya fever found in the community was 8.4%. The profile of infection by chikungunya fever is composed of women (p<0.204), aged between 18 and 39 years (p<0.780), more than 08 years of study (p<0.079), non-white reported race/color p<0.871) and employed in the past 12 months (p<0.927). Not residing with affective companion was statistically significant for infection by chikungunya virus (CHIKV) (p<0.028). Conclusion: The study found that women are the most affected by the infection, as well as being single represented a risk factor, and risk behaviors, such as presence of larvae and breeding of mosquitos at home, reflect a low level of awareness of the disease.

Resumen Introducción: el virus chikunugnya ya se ha identificado en más de 60 países de Asia, África, Europa y América, y la cronicidad después de la enfermedad afecta la vida de los afectados por el virus, así como la sociedad, la economía y la salud pública. El objetivo fue caracterizar, mediante encuestas epidemiológicas, el perfil de la infección por chikungunya en un municipio de tamaño medio en Mato Grosso de acuerdo con factores sociodemográficos y sanitarios. Métodos: La encuesta epidemiológica en suero se realizó con 596 adultos de ≥ 18 años seleccionados mediante un proceso de muestreo por conglomerados, con aplicación de cuestionarios y recolección de material biológico. Los casos positivos de fiebre chikungunya fueron aquellos con resultados positivos en el inmunoensayo enzimático del virus anti-chikungunya (ELISA). Los análisis estadísticos utilizaron técnicas descriptivas e inferenciales con intervalos de confianza del 95% y un nivel de significación del 5%. Resultados: La prevalencia general de fiebre chikungunya encontrada en la comunidad fue de 8.4%. El perfil de infección por fiebre chikungunya está compuesto por mujeres (p <0.204), con edades comprendidas entre 18 y 39 años (p <0.780), más de 08 años de estudio (p <0.079), raza/color no blanco (p <0.871) y empleado en los últimos 12 meses (p <0.927). No residir con compañero afectivo fue estadísticamente significativo para la infección por el virus chikungunya (CHIKV) (p <0.028). Conclusión: El estudio encontró que las mujeres son las más afectadas por la infección, además de ser solteras representaban un factor de riesgo, y los comportamientos de riesgo, como la presencia de larvas y la cría de mosquitos en el hogar, reflejan un bajo nivel de conciencia de la enfermedad.

Description of COVID-19 cluster: isolation and testing in asymptomatic individuals as strategies to prevent local dissemination in Mato Grosso state, Brazil, 2020. / Descrição de um cluster da COVID-19: o isolamento e a testagem em assintomáticos como estratégias de prevenção da disseminação local em Mato Grosso, 2020.

OBJECTIVE: to describe a COVID-19 cluster and the strategies used to contain the virus, in a municipality in the interior region of Mato Grosso state, Brazil. METHODS: this is a descriptive study of documental records of an epidemiological investigation conducted in April 2020. RESULTS: introduction of SARS-CoV-2 in the municipality was identified through a cluster comprised of five people, 4 were symptomatic and 1 was asymptomatic, after the virus was imported by index cases C01 and C02; in addition to household transmission (C03, C04), a physiotherapist (C05) was infected through contact with C02; with the exception of C04, all had an influenza-like symptoms and C02 required hospitalization; as for laboratory tests, all were seroreactive and C01 was RT-PCR positive. CONCLUSION: dissemination of COVID-19 was contained by effective home isolation, an important instrument that should be adopted early by unaffected municipalities to contain virus dissemination, as well as by serological testing that detected infection in asymptomatic patients.

Motor development in non-microcephalic infants born to mothers with Zika Virus infection during pregnancy / Desenvolvimento motor em crianças não microcefálicas nascidas de mães com infecção por VIRUS ZIKA na gravidez / Desarrollo motor de niños nacidos sin microcefalia de madres infectadas por el virus del Zika durante el embarazo

ABSTRACT This cross-sectional study sought to evaluate motor development in infants exposed to ZIKV born with normal head circumference (HC). Thirty one children, distributed into two groups, participated in the study: 15 whose mothers were infected by ZIKV during pregnancy, born with HC from −1.9 to +2 Z-scores, adjusted for sex and gestational age (exposed group); and 16 randomly selected infants without known prenatal exposure to ZIKV, paired by sex and age (control group). Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) was used to evaluate gross motor development. We found no significant difference between the exposed and control groups. However, considering that AIMS is a screening test that assesses only the gross motor development and the small size of our sample, infants exposed to ZIKV during pregnancy should be continuously evaluated for different aspects of their development.

RESUMO O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar o desenvolvimento motor de crianças expostas ao ZIKV, nascidas com perímetro cefálico normal (PC). Estudo transversal. Trinta e uma crianças participaram do estudo, distribuídas em dois grupos: 15 crianças cujas mães foram infectadas pelo ZIKV durante a gravidez, nascidas com PC medido entre −1,9 e +2 escores Z ajustados para sexo e idade gestacional (grupo exposto); e 16 controles aleatoriamente selecionados pareados por sexo e idade, sem exposição pré-natal conhecida ao ZIKV (grupo não exposto). Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) foi usado para avaliar o desenvolvimento motor grosso. Não houve diferenças significativas entre os grupos expostos e não expostos. Embora reconfortante, devemos destacar que o AIMS é um teste de triagem e apenas avalia o desenvolvimento motor grosso, e nossa amostra foi pequena. Portanto, crianças expostas ao ZIKV na gravidez devem ser continuamente avaliadas quanto a diferentes aspectos de seu desenvolvimento.

RESUMEN El presente estudio objetivó evaluar el desarrollo motor de niños expuestos al virus del Zika nacidos con la circunferencia de la cabeza (CC) normal. Estudio transversal. Participaron 31 niños en el estudio y se distribuyeron en dos grupos: 15 niños cuyas madres habían sido infectadas por el virus del Zika durante el embarazo nacieron con CC entre −1,9 y +2 puntajes Z ajustados por sexo y edad gestacional (grupo expuesto); y 16 controles seleccionados al azar pareados por sexo y edad, sin exposición prenatal conocida al virus del Zika (grupo no expuesto). La Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) se utilizó para evaluar el desarrollo motor grueso. No hubo diferencias significativas entre el grupo expuesto y el grupo no expuesto. A pesar de alentador, debemos destacar que la AIMS es una prueba de detección, que solo evalúa el desarrollo motor grueso, y que nuestra muestra fue pequeña. Por lo tanto, los niños expuestos al virus del Zika durante el embarazo se deben evaluar continuamente para que se identifiquen los diferentes aspectos de su desarrollo.

Hantavirus and criminality: disease and family / Hantavírus e criminalidade: doença e família / Hantavirus y criminalidad: enfermedad y la familia

Background and objectives: Hantavirus is a pathogen that causes a viral disease with an acute and severe presentation, and a high mortality rate. In face of a sudden loss, some families may not conceive the complete absence of the deceased relative. Thus, we sought to understand the changes that took place in a family after the death of the provider by Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS). Methods: A descriptive exploratory study with a qualitative approach of the type case report. Data collection took place between October and December 2016 through recorded individual interviews and using questions about family dynamics after family provider's death of HPS, which were assessed by content analysis in the light of Roy's theory. Results: It was observed that the illness and death of the family patriarch weakened the family's strengths and resources, leading to a period of mourning and despair. In addition, unemployment among other family members worsened socioeconomic conditions, seeing drugs as an alternative for support as it became a commercial activity, and the rise of a command in the region that culminated in the arrest of the wife, two daughters and a son of the deceased. Conclusions: In this case, it was evidenced that the family was weakened due to the illness and death of their loved one by HPS, and because of the lack of support and welcome from the reference social services, they chose to act in criminality and it ended up with the arrest of four members.(AU)

Justificativa e objetivos: O hantavírus é um patógeno que causa uma doença viral com caráter agudo e grave e alta taxa de mortalidade. Em face da perda súbita, algumas famílias podem não conceber a completa ausência do parente falecido. Assim, procuramos entender as mudanças que ocorrem em uma família após a morte do provedor pela Síndrome Pulmonar por Hantavírus (SPH). Métodos: Estudo descritivo-exploratório com abordagem qualitativa do tipo estudo de caso. A coleta de dados ocorreu entre outubro e dezembro de 2016 por meio de entrevistas individuais gravadas e com o uso de perguntas sobre a dinâmica familiar após a morte por SPH, sendo analisadas por análise de conteúdo sob a luz da teoria de Roy. Resultados: Observou-se que a doença e a morte do patriarca fragilizaram as forças e recursos da família, levando a um período de luto e desespero. Além disso, o desemprego entre os demais membros da família agravou as condições socioeconômicas, vendo as drogas como uma alternativa para o apoio, o que assumiu o caráter de comércio e a ascensão de um comando na região que culminou com a prisão da esposa, duas filhas e um filho do falecido. Conclusão: Neste caso descrito foi evidenciado que a família ficou fragilizada diante da enfermidade e óbito do seu ente querido por SPH e, em decorrência da falta de apoio e acolhimento dos serviços de referência sociais, optou por atuar na criminalidade e findar com a prisão de quatro membros.(AU)

Justificación y objetivos: El hantavirus es un patógeno que causa una enfermedad viral con un carácter agudo y grave y alta tasa de mortalidad. Ante la pérdida repentina, algunas familias pueden no concebir la ausencia completa del familiar fallecido. Por lo tanto, tratamos de comprender los cambios que se produjeron en una familia después de la muerte del proveedor por Sindrome Pulmonar por Hantavirus (SPH). Métodos: Estudio descriptivo-exploratorio con enfoque cualitativo del tipo estudio de caso. La recopilación de datos ocurrió entre octubre y diciembre de 2016, a través de entrevistas individuales grabadas y con el uso de preguntas sobre la dinámica familiar después de la muerte por SPH, que se analizaron a través del análisis de contenido a la luz de la teoría de Roy. Resultados: Se observó que la enfermedad y la muerte del patriarca familiar debilitaron las fortalezas y los recursos de la familia, lo que llevó a un período de duelo y desesperación. Además, el desempleo entre otros miembros de la familia empeoró las condiciones socioeconómicas, haciéndolos ver a las drogas como una alternativa de renta, lo que asumió el carácter de un comercio y el surgimiento de un comando en la región que culminó con el arresto de la esposa, dos hijas y un hijo del difunto. Conclusiones: En este caso, se evidenció que la familia se debilitó debido a la enfermedad y la muerte de su ser querido por SPH y debido a la falta de apoyo y recepción de los servicios de referencia social, eligieron actuar con criminalidad y por fin terminaron com cuatro miembros detenidos.(AU)

Neurodevelopment of Nonmicrocephalic Children, After 18 Months of Life, Exposed Prenatally to Zika Virus.

The aim of this work was to evaluate the cognitive, language, and motor development, after 18 months of life, of nonmicrocephalic children born to mothers with Zika virus infection during pregnancy. Participants were 37 children aged 18-29 months divided into 2 groups: 17 nonmicrocephalic children born to mothers who had Zika virus infection during pregnancy (ZIKVG) and 20 nonmicrocephalic children with no maternal history of infection matched by sex and age (control group). A semistructured interview and the Bayley Scale of Infant and Toddler Development (Bayley III) were used for their evaluation. One child in the ZIKVG presented low cognitive score, the same in the control group. There were no statistical differences between the 2 groups regarding cognitive, language, and motor development. This sample, although small, showed that a significant proportion of nonmicrocephalic children exposed prenatally to Zika virus had normal development. A longer follow-up is necessary to observe if no other adverse outcomes will appear in the future.

Descrição de um cluster da COVID-19: o isolamento e a testagem em assintomáticos como estratégias de prevenção da disseminação local em Mato Grosso, 2020 / Descripción de un grupo de COVID-19: aislamiento y pruebas en individuos asintomáticos como estrategias para prevenir la diseminación local en Mato Grosso, Brasil, 2020 / Description of COVID-19 cluster: isolation and testing in asymptomatic individuals as strategies to prevent local dissemination in Mato Grosso state, Brazil, 2020

Objetivo: descrever um cluster da COVID-19 e as estratégias utilizadas para a contenção do vírus, num município do interior de Mato Grosso, Brasil. Métodos: estudo descritivo com dados dos registros documentais da investigação epidemiológica realizada em abril de 2020. Resultados: a introdução do vírus SARS-CoV-2 no município foi identificada a partir do cluster com cinco pessoas, sendo quatro sintomáticas e uma assintomática, consequente à importação pelos casos índices C01 e C02; além da transmissão intradomiciliar (C03 e C04), uma fisioterapeuta (C05) foi infectada por C02; com exceção do C04, todos apresentaram um quadro influenza símile e somente C02 necessitou de internação; quanto aos testes laboratoriais, todos foram sororreativos, e somente C01 foi RT-PCR positivo. Conclusão: a disseminação da COVID-19 foi contida pelo isolamento domiciliar, uma importante estratégia que deve ser adotada precocemente pelos municípios indenes na contenção da disseminação viral, e pelo teste sorológico, que detectou a infecção em assintomáticos.

Objetivo: describir un grupo de COVID-19 y las estrategias para contener el virus, en el interior de Mato Grosso, Brasil. Métodos: estudio descriptivo de los registros documentales de la investigación epidemiológica realizada en abril de 2020. Resultados: la introducción del SARS-CoV-2 en el municipio se identificó del grupo con cinco personas, cuatro sintomáticas y una asintomática, como consecuencia de la importación por los casos índices C01 y C02; además de la transmisión domiciliaria (C03 y C04), una fisioterapeuta (C05) infectada con C02; con excepción de C04, todos presentaron un cuadro influenza símile y solamente C02 requería hospitalización; en cuanto a las pruebas de laboratorio, todas fueron serorreactivas y sólo C01 fue RT-PCR positivo. Conclusión: la diseminación de COVID-19 fue contenida por el aislamiento domiciliario efectivo, un instrumento importante que los municipios indemnes deben adoptar con anticipación a la diseminación viral, y mediante la prueba serológica que detectó la infección en pacientes asintomáticos.

Profile of congenital anomalies among live births in the municipality of Tangará da Serra, Mato Grosso, Brazil, 2006-2016. / Perfil das anomalias congênitas em nascidos vivos de Tangará da Serra, Mato Grosso, 2006-2016.

OBJECTIVE: to describe congenital anomalies (CA) among live births of mothers resident in Tangará da Serra, MT, Brazil, during the period 2006-2016. METHODS: this was a descriptive study, using Brazilian Live Birth Information System (SINASC) data. RESULTS: out of 15,689 births, 77 were registered with CA (prevalence of 4.9/1,000); there was an 80.7% increase of recorded CA in 2016, accounting for 10.3/1,000 live births, including five cases of microcephaly; CA prevalence was higher among children born to women aged over 35 years (prevalence ratio [PR] =1.91; confidence interval [95%CI] 1.01;3.60), preterm (PR=2.22; 95%CI 1.26;3.92) and low birth weight infants (PR=3.21; 95%CI 1.86;5.54). CONCLUSION: low CA prevalence was found, possibly related to under-recording at birth; the increase observed in 2016 may be related to the Zika epidemic causing microcephaly, as well as greater attention by health professionals in relation to CA during this public health emergency.

Perfil epidemiológico e prisional das detentas de um município do médio norte de Mato Grosso / Epidemiological and prison profile of the detention of a municipality of the north of Mato Grosso

Objetivou-se apresentar o perfil de mulheres privadas de liberdade em uma cadeia pública da região médio de Mato Grosso. Trata-se de uma pesquisa do tipo transversal, com abordagem quantitativa realizada em 2017. Foi realizada aplicação de formulário semiestruturado contendo perguntas abertas e fechadas com as 57 mulheres, sendo as mesmas entrevistadas individualmente; posteriormente os dados foram sistematizados em planilhas eletrônicas e analisados pelo SPSS versão 20.0. O perfil predominante foi de participantes autodeclaradas pardas (73,7%), com faixa etária entre 18 e 31 anos (56,2%), ensino fundamental incompleto (56,2%), donas de casa (38,6%), solteiras (47,4%), com até 4 filhos (82,5%), detidas pelo crime de tráfico de drogas (54,4%) e com período de reclusão de até dois anos (82,5%). O perfil aqui descrito reflete a relação entre a população com maior fragilidade socioeconômica, a inserção no crime através do parceiro e o tráfico de drogas como busca de renda. Neste sentido faz-se necessário a elaboração de políticas públicas intersetoriais que possibilitem a redução das desigualdades sociais, de gênero e a inserção das mulheres desde a infância em ambientes que potencializem sua qualidade de vida.

The objective of this study was to present the profile of women deprived of their liberty in a public chain in the middle region of Mato Grosso. This was a cross-sectional survey with a quantitative approach carried out in 2017. A semi-structured questionnaire containing open and closed questions was applied to 57 women with individual interviews, later the data systematized in electronic spreadsheets and analyzed by the SPSS version 20.0. The predominant profile self-reported by the participants was brown (73.7%), aged between 18 and 31 (56.2%), incomplete elementary school (56.2%), housewives (38.6%), (47.4%), with up to 4 children (82.5%), arrested for the crime of drug trafficking (54.4%) and with imprisonment for up to two years (82.5%). The profile described reflects the relationship between the population with greater socioeconomic fragility, insertion in crime through the partner and drug trafficking as a search for income. In this sense is necessary the elaboration of intersectional public policies that allow the reduction of social and gender inequalities and the insertion of women since their childhood in environments that enhance the quality of life

Métodos: estudo descritivo, com dados do Sistema de Informações sobre Nascidos Vivos (Sinasc). Resultados: de 15.689 nascimentos, 77 foram registrados com ACs (4,9/1.000); houve incremento de 80,7% no registro de AC em 2016, representando 10,3/1.000 nascidos vivos, incluídos cinco casos de microcefalia; a prevalência de AC foi maior entre crianças de mulheres maiores de 35 anos de idade (razão de prevalência [RP] =1,91; intervalo de confiança [IC95%] 1,01;3,60), prematuros (RP=2,22; IC95% 1,26;3,92) e com baixo peso ao nascer (RP=3,21; IC95% 1,86;5,54). Conclusão: observou-se baixa prevalência de AC, possivelmente relacionada ao sub-registro no nascimento; o aumento observado em 2016 pode estar relacionado à epidemia de Zika como causa de microcefalia, e à maior atenção dos profissionais de saúde às ACs durante a emergência em Saúde Pública.

Conclusión: se observó baja prevalencia de AC, posiblemente relacionada a los sub-registros de nacimiento; el aumento observado en 2016 puede estar relacionado con la epidemia de Zika como causa de microcefalia, y a la mayor atención de los profesionales de salud en relación a las AC durante la emergencia en salud pública.

Objective: to describe congenital anomalies (CA) among live births of mothers resident in Tangará da Serra, MT, Brazil, during the period 2006-2016. Methods: this was a descriptive study, using Brazilian Live Birth Information System (SINASC) data. Results: out of 15,689 births, 77 were registered with CA (prevalence of 4.9/1,000); there was an 80.7% increase of recorded CA in 2016, accounting for 10.3/1,000 live births, including five cases of microcephaly; CA prevalence was higher among children born to women aged over 35 years (prevalence ratio [PR] =1.91; confidence interval [95%CI] 1.01;3.60), preterm (PR=2.22; 95%CI 1.26;3.92) and low birth weight infants (PR=3.21; 95%CI 1.86;5.54). Conclusion: low CA prevalence was found, possibly related to under-recording at birth; the increase observed in 2016 may be related to the Zika epidemic causing microcephaly, as well as greater attention by health professionals in relation to CA during this public health emergency.
