Instala-se abruptamente e, comumente, leva a pessoa à morte em poucas horas. Um dos seus determinantes é a infecção por Streptococcus pyogenes. Não há relatos de epidemias desse agravo, mas surtos eventuais acontecem e estão aumentando de frequência. Este artigo relata uma experiência relacionada a um surto de SCT estreptocócico, vivenciada pelo Serviço Municipal de Vigilância Epidemiológica de São Carlos, SP, juntamente com o Centro de Vigilância Epidemiológica do Estado de São Paulo. Relato de caso: Diante da morte de duas pessoas residentes no mesmo domicílio, ocorridas no mesmo dia em condições inusitadas e idênticas, estratégias epidemiológicas descritivas permitiram a aplicação imediata de medidas de controle e assistência. Dez dias depois houve a confirmação de que se tratava de SCT estreptocócico. Agravos emergentes e reemergentes têm exig...

It is established abruptly and, commonly, progresses to death in a few hours. One of its triggers is infection by Streptococcus pyogenes. There are no reports of severe epidemics, but outbreaks occur and are increasing in frequency. This paper reports an experience related to an outbreak of streptococcal TSS, experienced by the Municipal Epidemiological Surveillance Service of Sao Carlos, SP, together with the Centre of Epidemiological Surveillance of State of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Case report: Facing the death of two persons residing in the same household, which occurred on the same day in unusual and identical conditions, descriptive epidemiological strategies allowed the immediate implementation of control measures and assistance. Ten days later there was confirmation that it was streptococcal TSS. Emerging and reemerging diseases has required of the ser...

In Brazil, the extensive use of temephos has led to the evolution of resistance in Aedes aegypti populations in many parts of the country. One of the strategies proposed for managing temephos resistance is the use of the insect-growth regulator-pyriproxyfen. This study evaluated the lethal concentration for this product in mosquito populations with different profiles of susceptibility to temephos and semi-field residual response to a commercial product. The results suggest the possibility of cross-resistance between temephos and pyriproxyfen.
