Perfil Epidemiológico Da Leptospirose No Brasil De 2010 a 2019

Abstract: Introdução: A Leptospirose é classificada como uma infecção aguda, potencialmente grave, causada por uma bactéria do gênero Leptospira, a qual é transmitida por animais de diferentes espécies. O Brasil, por ser um país com o clima tropical ideal para reprodução da bactéria Leptospira, possui um elevado número de casos anuais. Objetivo: O objetivo desse trabalho é fazer a epidemiologia de áreas de maior risco e transmissão dessa doença no Brasil por meio da agregação de dados epidemiológicos presentes na plataf… Show more

“…We must consider that this information is self-declared and can be biased towards the perception of each patient according to their region. Other studies have shown differences in the overall incidence of leptospirosis by self-declared race and other factors, such as income and access to healthcare [ 28 , 29 , 30 ]. In Brazil, we have a high correlation between race and social inequality, which hinders access to basic public services, such as treated water supplies, waste management, disaster management, and access to adequate healthcare, including diagnosis.…”

“…In reference diagnostics, tested samples are also affected by seasonality and demand. A larger number of samples are expected to arrive during floods and storms, due to the increased chances of humans coming into contact with potentially infected water [ 28 ]. Therefore, it is important to understand if lip L32 detection is stable among samples with different collection time intervals.…”

“…Embora a prevalência e a frequência da leptospirose variem de uma região para outra, e os períodos de análise sejam distintos, todos os estudos destacam como característica predominante da doença sua ocorrência em comunidades com infraestrutura precária de saneamento e constante exposição ao agente causador da doença (BATISTA et al, 2021). De acordo com Oliveira et al (2022), a leptospirose tem uma incidência mais alta em países localizados em regiões tropicais e subtropicais devido à maior resistência e sobrevivência das leptospiras em condições climáticas úmidas e quentes.…”
