Article Synopsis
- An outbreak of scurvy-like illness occurred among male inmates in a Ceará prison, primarily affecting those over 40 years old, with symptoms including lower limb edema, pain, and difficulty walking.
- The study highlights the importance of understanding scurvy outbreaks in similar contexts, contributing to better health service practices through epidemiological research.
- Preventative strategies and policies targeting hypovitaminosis in incarcerated populations are necessary, alongside improvements in health services' ability to identify and manage such cases effectively.
Objectives: To assess SARS-CoV-2 prevalence and health outcomes among inmates over 60 years during a COVID-19 outbreak in a major penitentiary complex in the Federal District, Brazil.
Methods: A mass test campaign was performed on May 13, 2020, using antibody-detection rapid tests for asymptomatic inmates and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction testing for those who were symptomatic. Those with negative results were retested on June 16.
