Infecções bacterianas e fúngicas diagnosticadas através de exames histopatológicos realizados no HUAC.

Abstract

Bacterial infections in humans denote care and agility in diagnoses, and histopathological examinations are an important tool in this process. In this sense, this study aimed to analyze the results of bacterial and fungal infections diagnosed through histopathological exams, performed at the Laboratory of the University Hospital Alcides Carneiro (HUAC). Therefore, an epidemiological, retrospective, descriptive and analytical study with a quantitative approach was carried out. In the data collection, the records of histopathological reports related to the diagnosis of bacterial and fungal infections in the pathology sector of the HUAC, from 2017 to 2019, were verified. objectives of the present study, accounting for an n of 2164 requests, with prevalence for the year 2018, which gathered 840 (38.8%). Overall, there was a predominance of exams performed for females, with n of 1377 (63.6%) and mean age of 49.4 years and standard deviation of 17.8. Of the 2164 requests for research on microorganisms, 703 (32.5) were positive, mostly for bacteria 695 (99%), with 686 (98%) cases diagnosed for Helicobacter pylori. There were more clinical hypotheses for pangastritis (n=801; 37%), with anatomical site of removal in the body and gastric antrum (n=1098; 50.7%) and removal only in the antrum (n=611; 28.2%). The present study made it possible to carry out an epidemiological and microbiological survey of the diagnoses of bacterial and fungal infections, through histopathology exams, performed at HUAC. This research is unprecedented, due to the fact that there are few studies relating the diagnoses of bacterial and fungal infections by histopathological exams.
