Resumo: | This descriptive study aims to identify the profile of leprosy patients and evaluate the leprosy control program in the city of Londrina from 1997 to 2001. The data used for analysis came from the electronic files of 459 patients registered in the Information System of Notification of theSanitary Dermatology Center. The analysis of the leprosy control program was based on the epidemiological, operational and organizational guidelines developed by the Ministry of Health. It was verified that the majority of leprosy patients are male (56.0%), between the ages 35 to 54 (42.0%), with education through elementary school (63.0%), diagnosed mainly as Tuberculoid (33.3%) or Lepromatous type (26.6%) and referred to the center by other health services to be diagnosed and treated (80.0%). A decline was noted in the prevalence (2,8 to 1,6 per 10.000 habitants) as well as in the detection rate (2,3 to 1,5 per 10.000 habitants). The latter, however, is still considered high, pointing to the continuation of thedisease because of the high detection of tuberculoid leprosy. There was an increase in the number of patients evaluated for physical disabilies. The cure rate for paucibacillary leprosy was considered good and considered regular for multibacillary leprosy. Overall, the program was considered of good quality. Its weaknesses were identified as: lack of information about the disease, failure to integrate and work with other available health programs, significant patient droup-out rate, failure to provide information about leprosy and difficulties in developing case - finding strategies. |

Foram utilizados dados eletrônicos de 459 fichas cadastradas no Sistema de Informações de Agravos de Notificação do Setor de Dermatologia Sanitária. A análise do programa foi baseada nos parâmetros epidemiológicos, operacionais e organizacionais definidospelo Ministério da Saúde. Constatou-se que o perfil do paciente hanseniano era de uma maioria masculina (56,0%), entre 35 a 54 anos (42,0%), com escolaridade até o 1° grau (63,0%), apresentando predominantemente as formas tuberculóide (33,3%) e virchowiana (26,6%), chegando ao serviço encaminhado por outros serviços de saúde (80,0%). Verificou-se uma diminuição da prevalência (2,8 para 1,6/10.000 habitantes) e do coeficiente de detecção (2,3 para 1,5/10.000 habitantes), esse entretanto, permanece alto, apontando para uma prevalência da endemia devido à alta detecção de formas tuberculóides. Pacientes avaliados quanto ao grau de incapacidade no diagnóstico aumentaram consideravelmente. A alta por cura foi considerada boa para os paucibacilares e regular para os multibacilares. No geral, o serviço foi considerado de boa qualidade, no entanto falhas na aderência ao tratamento, na busca de casos índices, na divulgação sobre a hanseníase e na falta de integração com outros serviços foram detectadas.
