Abstract: Métodos: Os dados foram coletados na célula de Vigilância Epidemiológica da Secretaria Municipal de Saúde (SMS) de Fortaleza, através de levantamento epidemiológico sobre a prevalência da endemia humana por ano, segundo o sexo, a faixa etária, o número de casos por SER e a taxa de letalidade. Resultados: Dentre os 1051 casos com identificação do sexo, 685 eram do gênero masculino, representando 65,1%; a faixa etária mais acometida estava entre 1 a 4 anos de idade, com 240 casos (22,8%); a maior incidência obse… Show more

“…The neighborhoods in the west of the city, characterized as "peripheral", have worse structural conditions, both in terms of housing and sanitation, and these conditions are related to the occurrence of VL, while the neighborhoods in the east of the city are better developed economically and have better housing conditions and urban infrastructure. 3,9 A cyclical pattern with a certain amount of stability in the VL incidence rate was also found by a study conducted between 1999 and 2015, in the city of Araçatuba, SP. Its authors suggest that the reduction in cases occurred possibly as a result of control actions having been implemented.…”

“…In Brazil, all suspected and/or confirmed VL cases are obligatorily notified to the health authorities: the specific Notifiable Health Condition Information System (SINAN) VL form should be filled in completely, and epidemiological investigation should be carried out within 48 hours following case notification. 3 Brazil reports 96% of cases occurring in the Americas. 2 Between 2007 and 2017, VL incidence varied between 1.7 and 2.0 cases per 100,000 inhab., while lethality increased from 5.9% to 8.8%.…”

“…A LV no Brasil tem como principal agente etiológico o parasito leishmania chagasi, cuja transmissão ocorre pela picada do inseto flebotomíneo em animais silvestres como raposa e marsupiais ou em animais de ambiente doméstico, sendo o cão o principal hospedeiro (5,9). Com a picada, o inseto vetor ingere parasitos que estejam na pele ou no sangue do animal contaminado, podendo inoculá-los no próximo animal ou no ser humano que for picado, os quais irão desenvolver, consequentemente, a infecção (10).…”
