Abstract
OBJETIVO: O objetivo do trabalho foi identificar a prevalência do HTLV-II em doadores de sangue da Hemorrede do Ceará e aspectos epidemiológicos de casos positivos. MÉTODOS: Foram levantados em bancos de dados os casos considerados positivos, através de método Imunoenzimático (ELISA) e confirmados pelo Western Blot, no período de 2001 a 2008. Foram identificados que 679.610 amostras de sangue de doadores voluntários foram testadas neste período. RESULTADOS: Do total de doadores, 164 amostras foram efetivamente positivas em ambos os testes, destes 33 (20,1%) foram tipadas como HTLV II, mostrando uma prevalência do último de 0,006%. Nos casos positivos, observou-se idade média de 28,2 anos, o sexo predominantemente masculino (54,5%), a cor foi considerada mulato/parda em 78,8%, a maioria procedia de Fortaleza (72,7%), sendo 51,5% casados/união consensual e 33,3% referiam ter ensino médio completo. CONCLUSÃO: Embora a infecção por HTLV-II seja baixa, sua presença é universal, sendo semelhante entre homens e mulheres, em sua maioria de centro urbano. É enfatizada a necessidade de medidas de prevenção como forma de evitar a expansão da infecção.
OBJECTIVE: To identify HTLV-II revalence in blood donors at the Blood Center Net of Ceará (Hemorrede do Ceará - HEMOCE) and epidemiological aspects of positive cases. METHODS: Cases considered positive were surveyed from data bases through the immunoenzymatic method ELISA and confirmed by Western Blot from 2001 to 2008. In this period, 679,610 blood samples from voluntary donors were tested. RESULTS: From all donors, 164 samples were actually positive in both tests; of these, 33 (20.1%) were typed as HTLV-II, showing a prevalence of 0.006%. In positive cases, a mean age 28.2 years, and a predominantly male gender (54.5%) were observed, the race was mixed in 78.8%, most donors had Fortaleza as hometown (72.7%), with 51.5% being married/consensual union, and 33.3% reported to have completed high school education. CONCLUSION: Although HTLV-II infection is low, its presence is universal, being similar in males and females mostly in urban centers. The need of preventive measures as a way of avoiding infection spread is stressed.
