| contents | Epidemiological profile of accidents caused by venomous animals in the municipality of Patrocínio, Minas Gerais: portrait of a decade Isadora Caixeta da Silveira Ferreira Guilherme Henrique Borges Salud Araneism Ophidism Scorpionism Snake bites Scorpion stings Background and objectives: despite advances in health care, accidents involving venomous animals are still a major public health problem in Brazil. Between 2015 and 2016, the Southeast region had the highest number of notifications, and Minas Gerais was the state with more occurrences. The objective of this study was to describe the epidemiological characteristics of accidents by venomous animal notified between 2008 and 2017 in the municipality of Patrocínio, Minas Gerais. Methods: this is a retrospective descriptive study conducted by analyzing the information from reporting forms of the Notifiable Diseases Information System for victims of accidents with venomous animals occurred during the years 2008 to 2017 in Patrocínio. Results: in total, 1084 cases were recorded, mostly caused by scorpions (47.23%), followed by snakes (17.07%), spiders (15.31%) and bees (11.07%). There was a predominance of male victims (63.10%), aged between 20-39 years (32.56%). Most accidents were classified as mild (89.11%) and the cure occurred in 98.80% of cases; one evolved to death. Conclusion:although accidents with venomous animals do not have high mortality rates in the municipality studied, the incidence of this health problem has increased in recent years. In addition, this updated epidemiological information may contribute to public policy actions and inform the local population about imminent risks. 2020 artículo científico 2238-3360 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=570469752003 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570469752003/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570469752003/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570469752003/570469752003.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570469752003/movil https://doi.org/10.17058/reci.v10i4.14694 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5704 Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção application/pdf Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção (Brasil) Num.4 Vol.10 |
