In addition, it addresses treatment, emphasizing the importance of early detection and appropriate intervention to prevent complications, guiding health professionals with essential knowledge to effectively diagnose cases of this disease of epidemic proportions in our state and country. Made available on an online academic platform and widely disseminated, more than a thousand downloads were recorded in a period of just six months. In addition, a lecture event was held at the city hall of Rio de Janeiro, using the booklet as a reference, aiming to interact with health professionals, providing guidance and answering their questions live.
