Late clinical outcomes of patients after Chikungunya fever
Main Article Content
Abstract
Chikungunya Fever (CF) is a disease that can progress through several phases, with late clinical outcomes, direct or indirect, and it is therefore important to evaluate how patients progress to late phases, with clinical manifestations of the disease. The article aims to analyze the prevalence of late clinical outcomes of patients reported and confirmed with CF, as well as specific health measures for treatment. A cross-sectional study was carried out in January and February 2018, with 121 patients reported and confirmed by the disease two years before data collection, in the municipality of Capistrano, Ceará. The data were analyzed using the EPI INFO 7.0 program, generating percentage frequencies, displayed in tables, subsequently interpreted and discussed with the literature on the subject. Among the direct late clinical outcomes, joint pain (118; 97.5%), musculoskeletal pain (82; 67.8%), and joint edema (54; 44.6%) were the most prevalent; in relation to indirect late clinical outcomes, decompensation of comorbidities (12; 9.9%); and, atypical manifestations such as changes in the nervous system (18; 14.9%), in the eyes (18; 14.9%) and other reasons (11; 9.1%) were the most common. Late, direct and indirect clinical outcomes are diverse and serious, implying the development of effective public policies, in favor of patients' quality of life.
