e inflamatória multissistêmica pediátrica (SIM-P) associada à covid-19.
A SIM-P é uma nova apresentação clínica potencialmente grave em crianças e adolescentes associada à infecção pelo vírus SARS-CoV-2, que já foi descrita em diversos países, inclusive no Brasil.
Até a semana epidemiológica 27 de 2021 (SE 27) que vai até 10 de julho de 2021, foram notificados 1.105 casos confirmados de SIM-P no território nacional e registrados 69 óbitos (letalidade de 6,2%).
Os dados registrados no Brasil demonstram uma letalidade maior por SIM-P quando comparados a países desenvolvidos. Neste contexto, o objetivo deste Manual é fornecer às equipes de vigilância epidemiológica munici pais, estaduais e distrital subsídios para implantação da vigilância do óbito relacionado à doença, além de investigar quais fatores estão relacionados ao óbito em decorrência da SIM-P no país.
Este documento foi desenvolvido com a colaboração da Coordenação de Saúde da Criança e Aleitamento Materno (Cocam) do Secretaria de Atenção Primária a Saúde (SAPS)
