Resumo: | Leprosy is considered hiperendemic in Governador Valadares. Our study shows that the detection rate is inequality distributed in urban areas and between people of the opposite sex. The goal of this research is to analyze leprosy infection by sex in Governador Valadares. A proportion of cases involving more women than men, 55,3% and 44,7%, respectively, was observed. This was confirmed through higher detection rate in women, 10,20/10.000, than men, 9,27/10.000. We verified that 56,6% of the cases which were diagnosed through spontaneous demands occurred in women. It was observed that the tuberculoid form of leprosy was more frequent in women, the borderline and indeterminate lepromatous caseswere found mostly in men. This explains the higher proportion of cases with incapacity in men, 19,7% while 9% in women, confirming the delayed diagnosis in males. We have concluded that leprosy occurs in Governador Valadares differently between men and women, presenting more serious physical incapacity in men. Thus, this study emphasizes the importance of implementation of strategies in the health service which wouldtake into consideration socio-biological needs of men and women in order to provide equal access to health services. |

O nosso pressuposto é o de que a taxa de detecção se distribui desigualmente nos espaços urbanos e também entre os sexos. Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar a distribuição da hanseníase segundo o sexo em Governador Valadares. Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico de natureza descritiva e analítica, de tipo operacional. Os resultados indicam maior proporção de casos em mulheres do que em homens, respectivamente de 55.3% e 44.7%. A proporção é confirmada pela maior taxade detecção em mulheres, de 10,20/10.000 contra 9,27/10.000 em homens. Verificamos que 56,6% dos casos diagnosticados por demanda espontânea são de mulheres. Observamos que o número de casos de hanseníase no sexo feminino é maior nas formas tuberculóide, dimorfa eindeterminada, e maior na virchowiana no sexo masculino. Isto justifica a maior proporção encontrada de casos com incapacidade nos homens, de 19,7% contra 9% nas mulheres, o que confirma a ocorrência de uma maior proporção de diagnóstico tardio em homens. Concluímos que a hanseníase em Governador Valadares incide desigualmente entre homens e mulheres, acarretando maior repercussão nos homens em termos de incapacidades físicas. Desta maneira, este estudo aponta para a necessidade dos serviços de saúde deste município implementarem estratégias que considerem as diferenças de necessidades biológicas e sociais entre homens e mulheres de modo a proporcionar eqüidade no acesso e proteção à saúde.
