OBJECTIVE: This work aims to carry out an integrative review on the impacts caused by the covid-19 pandemic on health management in Brazil. REVIEW AND DISCUSSION: The present study refers to an Integrative Literature Review (IRL), based on scientific evidence, 18 articles were examined that responded to the insertion and removal criteria inserted in its formulation. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: All selected studies refer to the performance of management in the face of the covid-19 pandemic, and as managers and workers who actively acted on the front line, dealing with challenges and emerging situations, and what decision-making and preparing the SUS to deal with a pandemic. it was found that not one country in the world was prepared for a pandemic, but the way in which each government reacted to the situation in question was a reflection for others as an example, good or bad, in the case of Brazil, this reflection was bad, requiring even subnational measures so that there was urgency in the action plans to combat the pandemic, because they had to, not only fight COVID, but also maintain care for other diseases and treatments for patients, they had to support those who could not work, through a lockdown order that only did not cover essential services and that had to comply with security determinations.

Encefalite autolimitada na COVID-19: relato de um caso
Resumo:
Introduction: COVID-19 is a systemic infection with the new coronavirus (SARS-COV2), which appeared in China in 2019 and has been plaguing the world. Its contagion rate is high and has already caused millions of deaths on all continents. Although it is asymptomatic in most patients, many cases usually lead to severe acute respiratory syndrome. Neurological symptoms, especially headache, anosmia and mental confusion, are prominent, possibly due to direct involvement of brain structures or the peripheral nervous system. Cases of critical encephalitis have been reported in several countries. Memory loss seems to be a commom sequel. Case report: We describe the case of a young woman who presented epileptic seizures due to coronavirus infection, with changes in the cerebrospinal fluid and transient abnormalities in neuroimaging, evolving with spontaneous improvement. Discussion: Our findings suggest the existence of cases of post-covid encephalitis from autoimmune nature and benign evolution, a potentially underdiagnosed entity in the face of the most serious manifestations of the pandemic, and perhaps responsible for sequelae such as memory loss and anosmia.
Keywords: COVID-19, epileptic seizures, autoimmune encephalitis, pandemic.

Assistência farmacêutica em unidades hospitalares em tempos de pandemia – uma revisão integrativa
Resumo:
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic imposed on hospital pharmacists the need to plan and organize a response to the challenges brought about by the disease. Pharmacists exercise fundamental activities in the context of the pandemic, either through the supply of medicines or the provision of pharmaceutical services. Managing pharmacies, hospitals or community, in times of SARS-CoV-2 is a new challenge. The hospital pharmacy has been facing several challenges in the face of the pandemic scenario and, in order to continue offering a quality service to the population, it was necessary to adopt coping strategies and adapt their activities. Thus, this research aims to highlight the importance of pharmacists and pharmacies within hospital units, considering the specificities of the pandemic of COVID-19. Review: This is an exploratory bibliographic review, through an integrative review. The collection of scientific data and the systematization of information come from scientific productions published from 2018 to 2021, in Portuguese, indexed in the database of the BVS, LILACS and SCIELO. Discussion: Hospital pharmacists had to restructure the service in response to COVID-19, considering the need to protect the teams, so that there is no compromise in the care activity and support for medical action and, simultaneously, provide an effective response to the new reality, not neglecting the component of reviewing and monitoring the use of health technologies and active pharmacovigilance of drugs used in the treatment of COVID-19. Final Remarks: It was found that the concept of hospital pharmacy goes beyond a sector of custody of medicines, being a department that adds value to other sectors of the hospital. Thus, the research findings allowed us to conclude that pharmacists, when working in hospital pharmacies, can collaborate with the multiprofessional health team, monitoring the use of medicines and the clinical evolution of patients, since the off-label use of medicines is a current reality that can cause serious damage to the health of individuals.
