Resumo: Leprosy in the state of Pará is worrying as the coefficient of detection in under 15-year olds is classified as hyperendemic. This indicator reflects recent transmission of the disease. This study aimed to analyze the epidemiological situation of leprosy in under 15-year-old children in the city of Belém, Pará from 2003 to 2013. This is a quantitative, descriptive and retrospective study of the number of cases of children with leprosy using data from the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN). The results show an average annual detection rate of leprosy in under 15-year olds of 34.9 per 100,000 inhabitants, classifying the disease as hyperendemic. Most patients were male with a frequency of 55.8% (266). The predominant mode of detection was referrals (54.7% - 261) and the commonest clinical form identified was tuberculoid in 38.6% (184) of the cases. On average, each case recorded 4.36 contacts giving a grand total of 2082 contacts. As for the contacts investigated, precarious parameter of less than 50% predominated. Brazil is a country of great proportions and many geographic peculiarities; Belem, Pará State is not so different. The population has difficultly accessing health services and, consequently, there is difficulty diagnosing and treating leprosy in this region. Knowledge on the epidemiological situation of under 15-year-old children is important to plan strategies that contribute to the control of this regional endemics.

Este indicador expressa a força de transmissão recente da doença. Objetivou-se analisar a conjuntura epidemiológica da hanseníase em menores de 15 anos no município de Belém-Pará no período de 2003 a 2013. Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, descritivo e retrospectivo de uma série de casos de menores de 15 anos notificados com hanseníase, utilizando-se os dados do Sistema de Informações de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN). Os resultados evidenciam uma média do coeficiente de detecção anual da hanseníase em menores de 15 anos de 34,9 por 100 mil habitantes, classificando a doença como hiperendêmica. O sexo masculino foi majoritário com uma frequência de 55,8% (266). O modo de detecção predominante foi o de encaminhamentos com 54,7% (261). A forma clínica de destaque foi a tuberculóide com 38,6% (184) dos casos. A média dos contatos registrados foi de 4,36 contatos por cada caso notificado, totalizando 2.082. Quanto aos contatos examinados predominou o parâmetro precário com menos de 50%. O Brasil é um país de grandes proporções e muitas peculiaridades geográficas, Belém-Pará não é tão diferente, dificultando o acesso aos serviços de saúde e, consequentemente, o diagnóstico e tratamento da hanseníase em nossa região. Concluiu-se sobre a importância do conhecimento da situação epidemiológica dos menores de 15 anos para viabilização de estratégias que contribuam para o controle dessa endemia regional.Instituto Lauro de Souza Lima da Secretaria de Estado da Saúde de São Paulo2015-11-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.saude.sp.gov.br/hansenologia/article/view/3617010.47878/hi.2015.v40.36170Hansenologia Internationalis: leprosy and other infectious diseases; Vol. 40 No. 2 (2015); 17-23Hansenologia Internationalis: hanseníase e outras doenças infecciosas; v. 40 n. 2 (2015); 17-231982-5161reponame:Hansenologia Internationalis (Online)instname:Instituto Lauro de Souza Lima (ILSL)instacron:ILSLporhttps://periodicos.saude.sp.gov.br/hansenologia/article/view/36170/34480https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMatos, Everson Vando MeloFerreira, Angela Maria RodriguesPalmeira, Iaci ProençaCarneiro, Daiane Freitas2023-01-18T17:24:27Zoai:ojs.periodicos.saude.sp.gov.br:article/36170Revistahttps://periodicos.saude.sp.gov.br/hansenologiaPRIhttps://periodicos.saude.sp.gov.br/hansenologia/oaihansen_int@ilsl.br || hansenologia.internationalis@gmail.com || periodicossp@saude.sp.gov.br1982-51610100-3283opendoar:2023-01-18T17:24:27Hansenologia Internationalis (Online) - Instituto Lauro de Souza Lima (ILSL)false
