Dengue is an acute febrile illness of viral and reemerging origin that today stands out as one of the main public health problems in the world. Within this context, this study aims to describe the epidemiological profile of dengue in the state of Maranhão, between the years 2008 to 2012. It is a descriptive, retrospective study with quantitative design. The same was done according to the profile of individuals with a positive diagnosis for dengue, in the period from 2008 to 2012 in the state of Maranhão. Data were obtained from the website of the Notifiable Diseases System (SINAN). For the descriptive statistical analysis of the data, the SPSS 20.0 program was used. The data were arranged in tables for a better understanding of them. Within the studied period, it was observed that the majority of cases occurred in urban centers, corresponding to 34.42% of the total; 33.79% of the cases predominated in the age group of 20-39 years, configuring it as the age group with the highest prevalence of the disease; the main classification was hemorrhagic dengue, totaling 2% of cases; most of the people affected had low education, 14.87% of the people analyzed did not have complete elementary school; the most affected breed was brown, corresponding to 65.73% of the total; most cases (77.78%) evolved to cure; 53% of the people affected by the disease were female.
A Leishmaniose Visceral (LV) é uma antropozoonose de alta letalidade, pode causar a morte em 90% dos casos não tratados, caracteriza-se por febre e hepatoesplenomegalia. É causada por protozoários da espécie Leishmania infantum chagasi e transmitida pelo flebotomíneo. No presente estudo fez-se a análise epidemiológica dos casos notificados no Piauí utilizando-se os dados obtidos do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN) no período de 2009 a 2018. A quantidade de casos de LV no Piauí é de 2 101, com incidência de 6,6/100.000 hab.. As cidades com maior incidência de LV para 100 000 hab. são: Avelino Lopes (28,09), Miguel Alves (26,98) e Pavussu (26,82). A faixa etária mais atingida é a de 0 a 4 anos (27,13/100 000 hab.). O gênero mais atingido foi o sexo masculino com 68% dos casos HIV. A taxa de letalidade encontrada foi 6,62%. A LV no Piauí possui caráter urbano, com destaque para a quantidade de casos na capital Teresina, que possui uma população muito maior que as outras cidades. A LV é mais incidente onde as condições de vida são precárias. Com base na análise apresentada é possível detectar os grupos de risco para LV e o que os torna mais suscetível. E com isso direcionar o controle da doença as esses grupos na tentativa de tornar o controle mais efetivo. Assim, exemplos semelhantes de controle efetivo da LV nas Américas com as mesmas características epidemiológicas podem ser utilizados.
