Abstract(s)
O Vírus Sincicial Respiratório (RSV) representa a principal causa de infeção aguda do trato respiratório inferior em crianças até aos 5 anos de idade. Após o início da pandemia da COVID-19 em 2020, foi necessário implementar medidas de controlo, que afetaram igualmente a atividade do RSV. Estudar o perfil epidemiológico do RSV em utentes pediátricos que recorreram ao Centro Hospitalar da Póvoa de Varzim - Vila do Conde, no período de 1 de setembro de 2019 até 31 de março de 2022. Estudou-se os resultados da pesquisa de RSV por Reação em Cadeia da Polimerase, através da consulta de registos existentes no SISLAB®. A sua sistematização realizou-se no IBM SPSS Statistics 28. A atividade do RSV na época sazonal de 2019/2020 iniciou na semana 49 de 2019 e terminou na semana 11 de 2020. Na época sazonal de 2020/2021 não se registaram casos de infeção. Registou-se atividade do RSV da semana 24 de 2021 até à semana 3 de 2022. Entre 2019 e 2020, as crianças com idade inferior a 13 meses representaram 57,1% dos casos de infeção, e entre 2021 e 2022, 24,3%. A ausência de atividade do RSV coincidiu com a implementação de medidas de controlo da COVID-19. O surto inter-sazonal registou-se após a flexibilização das mesmas, observando-se assim um perfil epidemiológico do RSV diferente do habitualmente registado em Portugal.
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) represents the main cause of acute lower respiratory tract infection in children up to 5 years of age. After the COVID-19 pandemic started in 2020, it was necessary to implement control measures that also affected RSV activity. Study the epidemiological profile of RSV in paediatric patients who attended Centro Hospitalar Póvoa de Varzim - Vila do Conde, from September 1, 2019, to March 31, 2022. We studied the results of RSV screening by Polymerase Chain Reaction by consulting existing records in SISLAB®. Data analysis was performed in IBM SPSS Statistics 28. Results: The activity of RSV in the 2019/2020 season started on week 49 of 2019 and ended on week 11 of 2020. In the 2020/2021 season, there were no cases of infection. RSV activity was recorded from week 24 of 2021 until week 3 of 2022. Regarding RSV infection in children under 13 months, it represented 57.1% of infection cases, between 2019 and 2020, and 24.3% between 2021 and 2022. The absence of RSV activity coincided with the implementation of COVID-19 control measures. We registered an inter-seasonal outbreak of RSV after those control measures were relaxed, thus observing an RSV epidemiological profile different from that normally recorded in Portugal.
