Esquistossomose: reprodução e expansão da endemia no Estado de Pernambuco no Brasil

Abstract: ResumoA esquistossomose continua a ser um problema de saúde pública no Nordeste do Brasil embora o emprego, em larga escala, da quimioterapia venha sendo apontado como um dos fatores responsáveis pela redução das formas graves. O Estado de Pernambuco vem apresentando taxas crescentes de infecção humana para esquistossomose com perfil epidemiológico de prevalências crônicas (até 80%) na região rural e casos recentes de infecção aguda no litoral. Discute-se a reprodução e expansão da esquistossomose a partir de … Show more

The northeast is an important ecological reserve of the intermediate hosts of S. mansoni and the State of Sergipe is historically endemic (29) .…”

“…In the present study, 39.5% of the patients came from regions that are considered highly endemic for schistosomiasis, while 60.5% came from areas with isolated foci of the disease.

Other studies have shown that the prevalence of schistosomiasis is still high in both rural (Favre et al 2001) and coastal areas in PE .…”

According to the last parasitological survey carried out by the Fundação Nacional de Saúde in 1994, the prevalence of schistosomiasis in the district of Escada was 50.7%, which is considered high respecting to the average prevalence in the State of Pernambuco (20.5%) (Barbosa 1996).…”

Peridomicile or even domicile focus have been reported on the coastal regions of the state and new sites of active transmission are being detected in tourism and summer vacation resources (Barbosa et al 1996(Barbosa et al , 2000.…”
