Resumo:
Objetivo: Analisar as prevalências e fatores associados ao desenvolvimento de doenças infecto-contagiosas que acometem crianças em creches: infecções respiratórias, doença diarreica e infecções por parasitas. Fontes dos dados: Realizou-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica nas bases de dados MEDLINE, LILACS e SciELO, sendo incluídos estudos observacionais. Síntese dos dados: Foram identificados 129 estudos, dos quais 21 foram considerados relevantes para o presente trabalho: 19 transversais e dois longitudinais. A sistematização dos estudos revisados destaca: i) a presença de enteroparasitoses foi o principal desfecho analisado, seguido das infecções respiratórias; ii) um único estudo investigou a ocorrência de doença diarreica; iii) a Giardia lamblia foi a parasitose mais prevalente; iv) as variáveis que mais vezes mostraram-se associadas ao desenvolvimento de enteroparasitoses foram a idade da criança, a renda familiar e a escolaridade materna; v) o atendimento em creche foi um fator de risco de enteroparasitoses e de infecções respiratórias. Conclusões: As infecções respiratórias e parasitárias constituem problemáticas importantes nas crianças institucionalizadas em creches cuja redução perpassa uma complexa rede de fatores socioeconômicos, do saneamento básico e da infraestrutura das creches.

Abstract:
Objective: To analyze the prevalence and factors associated with development of infectious diseases that affect children in daycare centers: respiratory infections, diarrheal disease and parasitic infections. Sources of data: There was conducted a bibliographic research in databases MEDLINE, LILACS and SciELO, being included observational studies. Summary of the findings: It was identified 129 studies, of which 21 were considered relevant to this study: two longitudinal and 19 transversal studies. The systematization of the studies reviewed highlights: i) the presence of intestinal parasites was the main outcome analyzed, followed by respiratory infections; ii) only one study investigated the occurrence of diarrheal disease; iii) the Giardia lamblia was the most prevalent parasitosis, iv) the variables that most often were associated with the development of intestinal parasitosis were child age, family income and maternal education; v) the attendance at daycare centers was a risk factor for intestinal parasites and respiratory infections. Conclusions: Respiratory and parasitic infections are major problems in institutionalized children in daycare centers whose reduction cuts goes through a complex web of socioeconomic, sanitation and infrastructure of daycare centers.
