Materials and methods: descriptive, temporal and quantitative epidemiological study, developed in the municipality of Sobral - Ceará, Brazil, with 110 confirmed cases of Covid-19. Descriptive and analytical analysis was performed, using the Chi-square test and Logistic Regression to verify the association between variables. The level of significance was set at 95% (p≤0.05). Results: it was observed that 60% of cases occurred in women, 74.5% were adults between 20 and 59 years old, 15.5% health workers and the lethality rate was 1.8%. In 58.2% of cases the main reporting unit was the hospital, 10% required hospitalization, and 64.5% were diagnosed with rapid tes. The main symptoms manifested were: cough (58.2%), fever (57.3%), sore throat (36.4%) and difficulty breathing (31.9%). There was an association between age and the presence of fever, cough and sore throat (p=0.05). Conclusion: the results suggest that older people are more susceptible to some symptoms when compared to younger people. Associated with global estimates, this work can provide subsidies for Covid-19 prevention and control actions in small and medium-sized Brazilian municipalities. 2021 artículo científico 2339-3874 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=273868435021 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2738/273868435021/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2738/273868435021/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2738/273868435021/273868435021.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2738/273868435021/movil https://doi.org/10.30554/archmed.21.2.3989.2021 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2738 Archivos de Medicina (Col) application/pdf Universidad de Manizales Archivos de Medicina (Col) (Colombia) Num.2 Vol.21 |
