Leptospirosis belongs to the category of neglected infectious diseases and, due to its great epidemic potential, its local distribution in tropical regions is of extreme importance. It is a worldwide public health problem, known for the emergence and reappearance of the disease, lack of sanitary conditions and abandonment of the disease. Human infections usually occur after skin contact with soil and/or water contaminated by the urine of chronically infected mammals. The clinical manifestations of the disease range from mild fever, chills and flu-like symptoms to acute forms of the disease. Based on these brief considerations, this article - part 1 of 2 - aims to discuss the biological, ecoepidemiological, prophylactic and control aspects of leptospirosis in Brazil.
A temática ocupacional, a promoção da saúde e melhoria da qualidade de vida norteiam a construção de políticas públicas no SUS. A relevância do assunto: fatores, agentes ocupacionais intervenientes nas condições laborais de servidores de Instituições Federais de Ensino Superior e a necessidade de um documento certificador das condições de trabalho no caso o LTCAT, que ateste as condições ambientais onde o servidor exerce ou exerceu suas atividades. Assim foi realizada uma pesquisa de revisão bibliográfica de literatura. A finalidade do estudo foi a análise de percepção ou não de adicional e/ ou para aposentadoria em condições especiais. O objetivo desse estudo consistiu em identificar e avaliar a relação entre riscos ocupacionais, condições de trabalho e as políticas de saúde para o servidor público federal. A metodologia utilizou os Descritores: Condições de Trabalho, Saúde do Trabalhador, Riscos Ocupacionais, Instituições de Ensino Superior. A conclusão é que existe uma desvalorização histórica da carreira de docente guiada pelo desestímulo, carga excessiva de trabalho, adoecimento e absenteísmo.
