Infecções neonatais como indicador de risco para a deficiência auditiva: estudo de casos

Abstract

The designated people, when they are the main causes of ear infections, do not cause stillbirth. Toxoplasmosis, rubella, syphilis, cytomegalovirus and herpes are a group of infections of the acronym TORCH that according to COMUSA (2020) are Risk Indicators for Hearing Impairment (IRDA). Given these conditions, it is suggested to carry out neonatal hearing screening (NHS) by Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potential (BAEP) and monitoring of hearing function, since these are conditions that can cause hearing loss at birth or later. Within this context, highlight the TORCH, more recently the Jointmitte on infant Hee (2019) with emphasis on microcephaly from the Zika virus, as another IRDA. Thus, the objective of this study was to verify a sample of neonates with origin in toxosis, syphilis, cytomegalovirus, herpes and Zika (microcephaly), as associated neonates and the conditions of global development of NHS. This is a study with a qualitative, retrospective, cross-sectional and analytical approach. As, the public maternity of newborn children was carried out in a maternity and in a reference center in hearing health. Results and viruses detected, which of the total number of viruses were found to have the diagnosis of virus, two of toxoplasma, nine of herpes rubella and 14 of microcephaly. The common finding among these items is that all of them and Neonatal Hearing Screening through otoacoustics were only sent to perform the BAEP and none had assistance for monitoring the auditory function. most of them had Apgar between medium and ten, weight of 2.92 and more than half were not projected. caeses 70% of vaginal deliveries and about 30% were deliveries. Finally, most mothers do not have elementary school, and are over 20 years of age, three of them are under 18 years of age. related to contamination during childbirth and the monitoring of children with risk indicators.
