Resumo

Introdução: Anafilaxia é uma reação sistêmica grave potencialmente fatal, sendo fundamental um diagnóstico rápido e preciso para que o tratamento seja realizado de forma adequada. Apesar da gravidade da doença, os estudos voltados para sua prevalência no Brasil são escassos, limitando o conhecimento do real impacto e dificultando o planejamento de medidas preventivas para a anafilaxia no país. Este estudo objetiva, assim, contribuir para o conhecimento da prevalência da anafilaxia em indivíduos portadores de algum tipo de doença alérgica no estado de São Paulo. Métodos: O estudo foi realizado através da plataforma digital Google Forms com envolvimento anônimo dos participantes residentes do estado de São Paulo, previamente aprovado pelos Comitês de Ética em Pesquisa das instituições envolvidas. Foram divulgados, através de mídias sociais, dois questionários validados direcionados a indivíduos com até 7 anos e acima dessa idade. Resultados: Foram obtidos 309 questionários de indivíduos com sete anos ou mais que referiam ter algum tipo de alergia. Através dos escores sugestivos de anafilaxia, obteve-se 46 pessoas (14,9%) possivelmente anafiláticas. Entre estas, as causas foram medicamentos em 56,5%, alimentos em 47,8%, ferroadas de insetos em 26,0%, látex em 4,3%, e indeterminado em 4,3%. Outros diagnósticos: rinite, 60,8%; dermatite ou eczema, 41,3%; asma, 30,4%; diagnóstico isolado de anafilaxia, 30,4%. Entre crianças de até 6 anos 11 meses e 29 dias, 84 questionários referiram alergia, sendo que 21,4% apresentaram escores sugestivos de anafilaxia, cujas causas foram: alimentos em 72,2%, insetos em 22,2%, e medicamentos em 22,2%. Dermatite apareceu em 38,8% dos questionários, asma em 55,5%, rinite em 44,4%, e anafilaxia isoladamente em 5,55%. Conclusão: A anafilaxia não é doença rara entre portadores de atopia, especialmente nas crianças pequenas, e as causas foram similares às referidas pela literatura médica, predominando medicamentos na população mais velha, e alimentos nas crianças.

Abstract

Introduction: Anaphylaxis is a severe, potentially fatal systemic reaction, making rapid and accurate diagnosis essential for adequate treatment. Despite the seriousness of the condition, studies focusing on its prevalence in Brazil are scarce, limiting the understanding of its real impact and hindering the planning of preventive measures for anaphylaxis in the country. This study aimed to contribute to the understanding of the prevalence of anaphylaxis in individuals with allergic diseases in the state of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil. Methods: The study was conducted using the digital platform Google Forms, with anonymous participation from residents of the state of São Paulo, and was previously approved by the Research Ethics Committees of the involved institutions. Two validated questionnaires were disseminated through social media, targeting individuals up to 7 years old and those older than that age. Results: A total of 309 questionnaires were collected from individuals aged 7 years or older who reported having an allergy. Based on suggestive anaphylaxis scores, 46 individuals (14.9%) were potentially anaphylactic. The reported causes were medications (56.5%), foods (47.8%), insect stings (26.0%), latex (4.3%), and undetermined (4.3%). Other diagnoses included rhinitis (60.8%), dermatitis or eczema (41.3%), asthma (30.4%), and isolated anaphylaxis (30.4%). Among children up to 6 years, 11 months, and 29 days, 84 questionnaires indicated allergies, with 21.4% showing suggestive scores of anaphylaxis. The causes in this group were foods (72.2%), insect stings (22.2%), and medications (22.2%). Dermatitis was reported in 38.8% of the questionnaires, asthma in 55.5%, rhinitis in 44.4%, and isolated anaphylaxis in 5.55%. Conclusion: Anaphylaxis is not a rare condition among individuals with atopy, especially in young children. The causes of anaphylaxis reported were similar to those found in the medical literature, with medications predominating in the older population and foods being more common in children.
