“…It is suggested, by the identification of new cases, the improvement of detection capacity, which is linked to the operational capability of the system of surveillance of leprosy; however, this indicator does not reflect the real situation in the reference period and does not allow to detect variations in trend in a short space of time, because the diagnosis of leprosy is usually delayed. 9 It is also noted that, in the year 2013, the detection rate, although it has been high, may indicate underreporting or low detection of cases when observed the historical series that was always too high. 9 It is observed that the majority of patients who abandoned the treatment was like finding the dimorphic clinical form, and this condition contributes to the ongoing transmission of the M. leprae impacting negatively on the actions of control and elimination of leprosy.…”

RESUMOObjetivo: analisar os aspectos clínicos e epidemiológicos da hanseníase. Método: trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, descritivo, transversal, envolvendo 35.853 casos de hanseníase, no período de 2005 a 2015. Informa-se que a análise dos dados adveio do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação, e os resultados foram apresentados em forma de tabela e figura. Resultados: registraram-se 35.853 casos de hanseníase, sendo a maioria do sexo masculino na faixa etária entre 40-59 anos, de cor parda, com nível fundamental incompleto e residente em zona urbana. Revela-se que a forma clínica dimorfa, multibacilar e o grau zero de incapacidade física foram os mais incidentes, e o modo de entrada mais frequente foi o de casos novos; a cura foi a principal forma de saída, a baciloscopia não foi realizada na maioria dos casos e o esquema terapêutico inicial foi a poliquimioterapia para multibacilares. Conclusão: conclui-se que a hanseníase é endêmica e ainda constitui um problema de saúde pública, e é fundamental que sejam desenvolvidas atividades educativas de forma permanente, sobretudo para a população vulnerável. Deve-se fundamentar esta ação na compreensão da representação social que esses grupos populacionais têm acerca da hanseníase.
