Os resultados dos exames laboratoriais e de imagem (radiografia e TC de tórax) são apresentados aqui. O paciente teve boa evolução e recebeu alta hospitalar em 14 dias.

Therefore, we sought to analyze cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) due to influenza in older adults registered in Brazil and investigate the factors related to death due to this disease. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional, population-based study that used secondary data from the Influenza Epidemiological Surveillance Information System (IESIS-Influenza). Older adults aged 60 years and above with laboratory diagnosis of influenza were included. Results: A total of 3,547 older adults with SARS due to influenza were included, out of which 1,185 cases with death as the outcome were identified. Among older adults with death as the outcome, 87.4% were not vaccinated against influenza. The main risk factors for death were invasive ventilatory support use, intensive care unit admission, brown skin ...

Este estudo tem como objetivo de identificar na literatura as melhores evidencias para a pratica da profilaxia antimicrobiana para se evitar complicacoes no procedimento de biopsia de prostata, principais bacterias e o perfil de sensibilidade dos antimicrobianos. Trata-se de uma revisao sistematica da literatura seguindo as recomendacoes da Colaboracao Cochrane. Os principais descritores utilizados foram biopsia, prostata, profilaxia e infeccao as bases de dados consultadas foram e Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System on Line (Medline)/ National Library of Medicine (Pubmed), Literatura Latino-Americana de Ciencias da Saude (LiLACS), Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO) e Biblioteca Cochrane, Institute of Education Science (ERIC), nesta busca foram identificados 16 artigos que atendiam o objetivo do estudo. Os resultados obtidos neste estudo ser...

Com este estudo pretende-se identificar o procedimento de desinfeccao, que os profissionais do servico de higienizacao estao realizando no servico de neonatologia, com maior eficacia. Trata-se de uma revisao integrativa da literatura sobre o assunto de higiene hospitalar, infeccao hospitalar e neonatologia. Como resultados foram observadas poucas publicacoes sobre esta tematica, o que alerta sobre a importância do assunto para minimizar os riscos para os pacientes. Como conclusao observa-se a necessidade de se avaliar melhor os produtos utilizados para a limpeza deste ambiente a fim de garantirmos a eficacia da limpeza bem como a seguranca do paciente.

This work aims to identify the signs and symptoms of an adverse event related to prostate biopsy. This is a cohort and retrospective research through the registration of patient care in electronic medical records after the exam. In the period from 2016 to 2018, 3,570 exams were performed, with 491 patients presenting the criteria for the classification of infection related to the procedure that strictly obeys the criteria established by the Centers Diseases Control (CDC). The inclusion criteria for patients were those who, within 15 days after performing the prostate biopsy, had emergency care due to the presence of signs and symptoms. The exams analyzed were urine culture and blood culture collected at the time of emergency care. The results were that of the 491 patients evaluated, 38 (9%) patients required hospitalization, the average age ...

Some issues regarding its main epidemiological, clinical and virological characteristics, and particularly its capacity for dissemination, are being discovered. Evidence from other coronavirus diseases, for example severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), and the experiences from control and prevention of COVID-19 adopted so far, suggests that it is transmitted through droplets and contact. Thus, COVID-19 can be spread through aerosols relating to procedures that produce aerosolization, such as swab sample collection, intubation and aspiration, among others. 1,2 Prevention and control measures for the new coronavirus need to include hand hygiene, disinfection of surfaces (notably those that are very frequently touched), respiratory etiquette, avoidance of touching one's face and use of masks. When all these measures are combined, they are efficient for prevention of human-human transmission of COVID-19. 3,4 With the emergence of SARS caused by the new coronavirus, the world has seen the consequences of respiratory transmission between people. It acknowledges that the incubation period is 2 to 10 days, which facilitates its propagation on inanimate surfaces. 4,5 Information relating to specific inactivation of COVID-19 has recently emerged. Current studies demonstrate that for human coronaviruses to be inactivated (for example SARS coronavirus, MERS coronavirus or endemic human coronavirus (HCoV)), use of products such as ethanol,
