ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Leptospirosis is caused by a bacterium of the genus Leptospira. This study aimed at investigating the seroprevalence of and risk factors for leptospirosis in humans in Manaus, State of Amazonas. METHODS: Interviews were performed, and 1,000 blood serum samples were examined using a microscopic agglutination test. RESULTS: Forty-three cases were positive; there were 10 serotypes, with coagglutination in 8 cases. The most frequently occurring serotypes were Icterohaemorrhagiae (20.7%), Cynopteri (20.7%), Australis (18.8%), and Copenhageni (16.9%), and the Midwest (54.7%) and South (23.8%) had the most cases; these areas lack basic sanitation. CONCLUSIONS: Disease occurrence might be reduced through improved basic infrastructural conditions.

ABSTRACT

As condições sociais e ambientais estão diretamente relacionadas com a qualidade de vida e saúde, o que torna importante sua avaliação na análise de fatores determinantes para a ocorrência de alguns agravos. Alterações no equilíbrio entre homem e ambiente acontecem em decorrência das transformações produtivas territoriais e espaciais geradas pela dinâmica social. Aborda a questão socioambiental na cidade de Manaus, a leptospirose na cidade de Manaus, leptospirose e vulnerabilidade social. (AU)

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Leptospirosis is an infectious disease caused by microorganisms of the genus Leptospira that affects several species of animals, including the human beings. The study described the confirmed cases of leptospirosis in Manaus, from 2000 to 2010. METHODS: A descriptive study based on secondary data analysis of Secretaria Municipal de Saúde (SEMSA), Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação SINAN and Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade (SIM) analyzing the variables: age group, gender, clinical aspects and geographic area and lethality. RESULTS: Were reported 665 cases of leptospirosis, 339 were confirmed and 35 (10.3%) died. The largest number of cases occurred in May (16.8%), March (13.3%) and April (11.4%), a period of intense rainfall. The city areas with the greatest occurrence of the disease were South (26.6%), West (23.5%) and East (19.7%), areas of the greatest precariousness socio-environment. The largest number of cases, including deaths, occurred in the age group from 14 to 44.9 years (74%), being that 291 (85.8%) were male and 48 (14.1%) females. The most frequent symptoms were fever, myalgia, headache and jaundice. In relation to the social conditions were identified low education, poor housing, absence of sanitation and low income. CONCLUSIONS: In Manaus, despite the implementation of the Social and Environmental Program of Igarapés of Manaus (PROSAMIM), there are still areas that need a proper urbanization and improvements in socio-environmental conditions, reducing the level of exposure of the human beings that living in these locations.


INTRODUÇÃO: A leptospirose é uma doença infecciosa causada por microrganismos do gênero Leptospira, que acomete várias espécies de animais, inclusive o homem. O estudo descreveu os casos confirmados de leptospirose no município de Manaus, no período de 2000 a 2010. MÉTODOS: Estudo descritivo baseado na análise de dados secundários da Secretaria Municipal de Saúde (SEMSA), Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN) e Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade (SIM) das variáveis: faixa etária, sexo, aspectos clínicos e área geográfica e letalidade. RESULTADOS: Foram notificados 665 casos de leptospirose, 339 foram confirmados e 35 (10,3%) evoluíram para óbito. O maior número de casos ocorreu nos meses de maio (16,8 %), março (13,3 %) e abril (11,4 %), período de intensas chuvas. As zonas da cidade de maior ocorrência da doença foram a sul (26,6%), oeste (23,5%) e leste (19,7%), áreas de maior precariedade socioambiental. O maior número de casos, inclusive com óbitos, ocorreu na faixa etária de 14 a 44,9 anos (74%), sendo que 291 (85,8%) pertenciam ao sexo masculino e 48 (14,1%) ao feminino. Os sintomas mais frequentes foram: febre, mialgia, cefaleia e icterícia. Em relação às condições sociais, identificou-se baixa escolaridade, moradia precária, falta de saneamento e baixa renda. CONCLUSÕES: Em Manaus, apesar da implantação do Programa Social e Ambiental dos Igarapés de Manaus (PROSAMIM) ainda existem áreas que necessitam de uma urbanização adequada e melhorias nas condições socioambientais, diminuindo o nível de exposição dos indivíduos que residem nestes locais.
