PORTADORES ASSINTOMÁTICOS DE STREPTOCOCCUS PYOGENES E STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS ENTRE CRIANÇAS ATENDIDAS EM UMA CRECHE

Abstract

Streptococcus pyogenes and Staphylococcus aureus are recognized as important infantile pathogens. Infections of pharynx caused by these microorganisms are common in individuals of 0 to 12 years. In children taken care in day-care center a serious problem of health can become, a time that the transmission in gives airmail and living together with assymptomathics carrier can unchain outbreak infections pharynx. Beyond of infection, S. pyogenes can unchain serious imunologycal sequels. The rheumatic fever and the glomerunephits are imunologycal riots that can cause cardiac and renals injuries. These pathologys demand continuous treatment to prevent re-infection. The precocious detection of assymptomathics carriers can help in the prevention of the sequels, through treatment prophylactic with antibiotics adequate. After the development of the sequel does not have available treatment for the cure of the patient. This work had for objective to detect assymptomathics carriers of S. pyogenes and S. aureus between childrens taken care of in the day-care center “Municipal Association of Minor’s Protection” in the city Presidente Bernardes, SP. For this way, oropharynx samples had been collected with aid of swab absorbed in barren physiological solution. After the culture of the samples, bacterial identification had been performed by conventional biochemistry techniques. Samples had been of 122 children of 0 to 6 years. In 10 children (8.2%) were isolated S. aureus, and 2 children (1.6%) were isolated S. pyogenes. Despite the low index of carriers, these few children who carry these microorganisms can become souces of contagion for the individuals that coexist together.
