Public health, explained: Sign up to receive Healthbeat’s free national newsletter here.The small measles outbreak that health officials are combating in Michigan began last month with an unvaccinated young woman returning home from visiting Florida, a state where there have been more than 140 cases this year. Her first symptoms around March 7 seemed like a cold. By the time the telltale measles rash appeared a few days later, she had exposed her family and scores of other people in public settings, according to health officials in Washtenaw County, near Detroit.The Michigan outbreak is one of 17 new outbreaks nationwide reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention since January. There have been 1,671 confirmed cases of measles reported this year across 32 states, according to CDC data.Most of this year’s cases – 94% – have involved outbreaks. Some – like those in Texas and Florida – involve more than 100 infections. In a few, cases have surged into the hundreds, as is the case in the outbreak in Utah, which is still growing, and the outbreak in South Carolina, which appears to be ending.Many of the outbreaks are small – just a few cases. But as public health officials in Washtenaw County, Michigan, are learning, the resources required to keep them that way can be enormous.Staffing costs for managing a handful of measles cases: $45,000“We’re still at seven cases,” Beth Ann Hamilton, communications coordinator for the Washtenaw County Health Department, told Healthbeat this week. “We’re definitely not out of the woods yet.”Meanwhile, another measles case announced Thursday in neighboring Monroe County has state health officials concerned that measles may be silently spreading in the community. No definitive link has been established to the cases in Washtenaw County, but the timing and location of the new case are concerning, officials at the state health department said.Because of this risk, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services is recommending young children receive their first measles shot early – at 6 months to 11 months of age.Yet even with just a handful of known measles cases, the containment workload is already taking its toll.Spring break travel risks spread of measles across U.S.At the Washtenaw County Health Department, measles control is taking priority over many other health department services as staff have been needed to help track down and counsel hundreds of exposed people, test them for immunity to measles when they don’t have vaccination records, and monitor those in quarantine.“Seven cases may not seem like a lot, but it is, and it’s hundreds and hundreds of contacts that our staff have to follow up on and monitor,” Jimena Loveluck, the department’s health officer, told the Washtenaw County Board of Health on March 27. “We’re not able to get other work done,” she said. “We just don’t have the capacity to respond and then continue all our regular level of services. The expense also is tremendous.”Exposures have occurred at a popular mall in Ann Arbor, a community college, hospitals, urgent care clinics, several stores, and a restaurant.Investigating and managing the exposures of just the initial three or four cases cost $45,000 in staff time, Ruth Kraut, the department’s deputy health officer, told the board. Other health department staff noted that $100,000 in funding from the state to help with the outbreak had been largely spent. @healthbeatnews Is South Carolina’s record-breaking measles outbreak nearing its end? The state has gone more than two weeks without health officials learning of any new cases, but questions remain about how many measles infections have been going unreported. Healthbeat’s Alison Young breaks down what needs to happen before the outbreak can be declared over. 🔗 Check out our timeline of South Carolina's outbreak — and stay up-to-date with developments in outbreaks across the country — at Healthbeat.org. #measles #southcarolina #publichealth #outbreak ♬ original sound - Healthbeat “It’s been a huge effort,” Dr. Juan Luis Marquez, the department’s medical director, told the board. “We get lists of students or patients or whatnot. We don’t have much information to go by other than their name and date of birth. So that basically means our team of nurses and other folks calling everybody to verify their immunization status.”Because two doses of measles-mumps-rubella vaccine is 97% effective at preventing the disease, public health officials are mostly trying to identify those who aren’t protected so they can be advised to quarantine at home and not spread the disease to others.But people often don’t remember whether they’ve been vaccinated or don’t have access to their immunization records, Marquez said. So then they need to come to the health department clinic to have a blood test to check to see if they have measles immunity from past vaccination or infection. The result is that the health department’s clinic is largely focused on measles and vaccine response, he said, and communicable disease efforts are being limited to measles and other high-risk cases.Like forest fires, measles outbreaks are ‘sending out sparks’A significant challenge for public health officials is that it’s difficult to know which small measles outbreaks can be quickly and easily contained, and which ones will spread to hundreds of people.Dr. William Moss, a professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and director of the school’s International Vaccine Access Center, compared the measles landscape across the United States to a map of forest fires.“You’ve got these bigger outbreaks, they’re kind of sending out sparks,” Moss said. “If that spark lands in a county or a community with high vaccine coverage, you don’t get much spread. And so you see one of these small outbreaks. But if it does land in a community with a large number of individuals who are under vaccinated or unvaccinated, then you get these larger outbreaks.”It would be helpful to overlay measles cases onto maps with detailed vaccination coverage data, he said. But sources of vaccination data are limited and fragmented, and while school vaccination data can be helpful, it doesn’t include information about adults in the community.“We and many other groups have been trying to develop ways to predict or forecast, as best we can, where the hotspots are. It’s just very difficult with measles,” Moss said. Moss said that to know how easily measles will spread requires having detailed information about the coverage levels of vaccination and immunity within very localized communities where people socialize. But such data isn’t readily available, he said.The places Moss and his team are watching closely are those where cases have been increasing the most in the past few weeks. That includes Hudspeth County, Texas, where the Johns Hopkins U.S. Measles Tracker has tallied 31 cases in recent weeks, and several counties in Utah, which is in the midst of a surge in its outbreak. Many of the cases in Hudspeth County, Texas involve a federal detention facility. Since it began last year, Utah’s measles outbreak has sickened 559 people, 362 since January. South Carolina’s measles outbreak, the largest in the United States in decades, has had 997 known cases since October – more than 660 of them since January. The good news: South Carolina health officials haven’t had a measles case reported to them in more than two weeks. If that trend continues for 42 consecutive days – which is two incubation cycles for the measles virus – that outbreak will be declared over after April 26. As of early March, the South Carolina Department of Public Health told Healthbeat it had spent $1.6 million on its response to the outbreak.Alison Young is Healthbeat’s senior national reporter.

O novo ministro dos Povos Indígenas, Eloy Terena, classificou como crítico o cenário de Dourados (MS), município que está em situação de emergência devido aos casos de chikungunya. “Quando se trata de saúde, de vidas humanas, a responsabilidade é global. Não estamos aqui para dizer que a responsabilidade era do município, do governo estadual ou do governo federal. Estamos aqui para reconhecer esta situação crítica. Portanto, não temos uma posição negacionista e vamos enfrentá-la”, disse Terena, ao visitar o município nesta sexta-feira (3). Notícias relacionadas:Casos de influenza A continuam a crescer no Brasil, diz Fiocruz.Diretriz contraindica tratamento farmacológico isolado para obesidade.Ministério da Saúde confirma caso de sarampo no Rio de Janeiro.Segundo o governo de Mato Grosso do Sul, desde janeiro até o início de abril, o número de casos confirmados da doença no estado chegava a 1.764, incluindo 37 gestantes. Havia também 1.893 casos em análise. Com 759 registros, em números absolutos, Dourados concentra a maior quantidade de casos prováveis de chikungunya no estado. Embora a situação atinja toda a população, tem tido maior impacto sobre as comunidades indígenas. Dos sete óbitos registrados em todo estado, cinco ocorreram na Reserva Indígena de Dourados. Entre estas os mortos, dois tinham menos de quatro meses de vida. Os outros dois óbitos no estado foram registrados nas cidades de Bonito e Jardim. Combate ao vetor O Ministério da Integração e do Desenvolvimento Regional reconheceu em 30 de março a situação de emergência na cidade, que a prefeitura decretou dias antes, em 27 de março. O avanço da chikungunya em Dourados motivou o governo federal a anunciar, nesta semana, mais uma série de medidas para combater o mosquito Aedes aegypti, interromper o ciclo de transmissão da doença e aperfeiçoar o atendimento aos pacientes. A situação é mais grave na reserva indígena local, onde cinco pessoas já morreram, incluindo dois bebês. O Centro de Informações Estratégicas em Vigilância em Saúde do Distrito Sanitário Especial Indígena do estado (DSEI-MS) emitiu um alerta epidemiológico apontando o aumento dos casos na cidade. Após isto, agentes da Força Nacional do SUS (Sistema Único de Saúde) foram deslocados para se incorporarem à força-tarefa composta por servidores da Secretaria de Saúde Indígena (Sesai) e da Secretaria de Vigilância em Saúde e Ambiente, do Ministério da Saúde. Além de mobilizar profissionais, na última quinta-feira (2), o governo federal destinou cerca de R$ 3,1 milhões em recursos públicos para Dourados. Do total, R$ 1,3 milhão serão destinados a ações de socorro e assistência humanitária, como apoio direto à população. Mais R$ 974,1 mil vão custear iniciativas como limpeza urbana, remoção de resíduos e destinação em aterro sanitário licenciado. Os R$ 855,3 mil restantes financiarão outras ações de vigilância, assistência e controle da chikungunya na cidade. Contratações Eloy Terena afirmou que os recursos liberados pelos ministérios da Integração e do Desenvolvimento Regional e da Saúde “já estão nas contas dos governos estaduais e municipais”, responsáveis por utilizá-los para contratar, em caráter emergencial, os bens e serviços necessários. Representante do Ministério da Saúde na comitiva que acompanhou o ministro, Daniel Ramos destacou que, além das demais medidas, a pasta vai contratar, provisoriamente, e capacitar, 50 agentes de combate a endemias-20 dos quais começarão a trabalhar neste sábado (4). Junto com 40 militares disponibilizados pelo Ministério da Defesa, os agentes se somarão ao atendimento à população e ao combate aos focos de reprodução do mosquito Aedes aegypti. “A assistência é uma das partes importantes e a gente vai entrar com ações contundentes de controle vetorial para reduzir esta pressão nos serviços [de saúde]”, garantiu Ramos. Já a representante da Força Nacional do SUS, Juliana Lima, explicou que, embora as equipes de saúde estejam atuando diariamente nas aldeias Bororó e Jaguapiru, na Reserva Indígena Dourados, é difícil dizer se houve uma melhora da situação nas últimas semanas. “O cenário está muito dinâmico. Ele vem se mostrando, dia após dia, com um perfil epidemiológico diferenciado. Então, a gente não está conseguindo ainda afirmar se há uma diminuição ou um aumento [do número de casos] nesta ou naquela aldeia. Mas fazemos o monitoramento, os registros, diariamente e, com isso, conseguimos sinalizar para a vigilância onde eles devem priorizar os atendimentos dos casos agudos.” Lixo Destacando a condição “sui generis” [diferenciada] da Reserva Indígena Dourados, “que foi englobada pelo município de Dourados”, estando, hoje, cercada pela crescente área urbana, Terena cobrou, da prefeitura, mais atenção à coleta do lixo nas aldeias indígenas, de forma a eliminar criadouros do mosquito Aedes aegypti. “Temos que aperfeiçoar a questão dos resíduos sólidos, do lixo. É preciso atender de igual forma não só o contexto urbano, como as comunidades indígenas”, disse o ministro, que pretende se reunir com representantes dos governos municipal e estadual e discutir projetos estruturais “para que possamos chegar a estas comunidades indígenas com projetos com vistas a melhorar a coleta de lixo” nas comunidades indígenas.

O Corpo de Bombeiros do Rio Grande de Sul confirmou no início da noite desta sexta-feira (3) a quarta vítima da queda de um avião de pequeno porte em Capão da Canoa, município no litoral norte do estado. A aeronave caiu em cima de um restaurante que estava fechado. Até o fim da tarde, apenas três vítimas estavam confirmadas. Com a localização do quarto corpo, os bombeiros encerraram as buscas. De acordo com o Corpo de Bombeiros, tratava-se de um casal que dividia residência entre Xangri-Lá e Ribeirão Preto, e que sairiam de Capão da Canoa e se dirigiriam ao aeroporto de Itápolis, em São Paulo. As informações foram apuradas com base nos documentos do plano de voo e nos depoimentos de familiares presentes no local. Notícias relacionadas:Avião de pequeno porte cai em Capão da Canoa sobre restaurante.Num primeiro momento, assim que chegaram ao local, os bombeiros trataram de apagar o incêndio resultante do acidente e preservar as edificações próximas. Em seguida, foi feita a busca das vítimas. O Centro de Investigação e Prevenção de Acidentes Aeronáuticos (Cenipa) foi acionado e já concluiu a perícia. “Estamos dando por encerrado, com as quatro vítimas encontradas. Agora, as equipes da Prefeitura estão fazendo a limpeza no local”, explicou o porta-voz do Corpo de Bombeiros do Rio Grande do Sul, 1º tenente Rodrigo Vieira Cabral. Colisão A aeronave teria colidido com a rede de energia elétrica logo após a decolagem, por volta das 10h35 da manhã, na Avenida Valdomiro Cândido dos Reis. Ao cair, atingiu um restaurante sem fazer vítimas em solo. “Os moradores das residências nas imediações foram retirados por conta do risco de explosões e, até o momento, não foram registrados feridos em relação ao incidente”, informou a Defesa Civil.
