Resumo: | Syphilis is an infection caused by Treponema pallidum of sexual, blood and vertical transmission. Despite being easy to diagnose and treat, its incidence has been increasing in Brazil in recent years, and it is being considered a public health problem in the country and worldwide. The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence of positive results for VDRL (Venereal Diseases Research Laboratory) in the city of Juiz de Fora / MG between 2014 and 2016, as well its epidemiological characteristics. 25,735 VDRL results were analyzed from the database of the Central Laboratory (LACEN) of the city hall of Juiz de Fora. The results were then related to the variables year, gender, age, pregnant or not and the region of the city where the test was performed. The prevalence of positive results was 5.55%, with the highest number of cases recorded in 2015. Reactive cases were more prevalent in the central region, in men and a higher prevalence was obtained for the age group of 12 to 18 years. Among women, it was observed higher VDRL positivity in non-pregnant women from August 2015 to December 2016. The data obtained in this study indicates an increase in prevalence of syphilis from 2014 to 2015, followed by a reduction in the following year, among the population served by SUS, where young men represent the population at greater risk. Such data may contribute to public health policies for the prevention and treatment of syphilis. |

Apesar de ser de fácil diagnóstico e tratamento, sua incidência vem aumentando no Brasil nos últimos anos, sendo considerado um problema de saúde pública no país e no mundo. Este trabalho buscou a conhecer a ocorrência de resultados positivos de VDRL (Venereal Disease Research Laboratory) entre o período de 2014 a 2016 na população atendida nos serviços de saúde da prefeitura de Juiz de Fora/MG, bem como suas características epidemiológicas. Foram analisados 25.735 resultados de VDRL do banco de dados do Laboratório Central (LACEN) da prefeitura de Juiz de Fora. Os resultados reagentes foram então relacionados com as variáveis ano, gênero, idade, gestantes ou não e região da cidade em que se realizou o exame. A prevalência de resultados positivos foi de 5,55%, com maior número de casos registrados em 2015. Os casos reagentes foram mais prevalentes na região central, nos homens e obteve-se maior predomínio para a faixa etária de 12 a 18 anos. No período de agosto de 2015 a dezembro de 2016, entre as mulheres, foi observada uma maior positividade no teste de VDRL em não gestantes. Os dados obtidos nesse estudo apontaram para aumento da prevalência de sífilis entre 2014 e 2015, seguido de uma queda no ano seguinte, entre a população atendida pelo SUS, sendo os homens jovens a população de maior risco. Tais dados podem contribuir para as políticas de saúde pública de prevenção e tratamento da sífilis.Editora UFJF2019-01-09info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtOrPesquisa bibliografica descritivaapplication/pdfimage/jpegimage/jpegapplication/mswordapplication/pdfapplication/mswordhttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/hurevista/article/view/296910.34019/1982-8047.2017.v43.2969HU Revista; v. 43 n. 4 (2017); 383 - 3901982-80470103-3123reponame:HU Revista (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF)instacron:UFJFporhttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/hurevista/article/view/2969/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/hurevista/article/view/2969/16174https://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/hurevista/article/view/2969/16175https://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/hurevista/article/view/2969/16176https://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/hurevista/article/view/2969/16177https://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/hurevista/article/view/2969/16178Fernandes, Aline Augusta SampaioRegina, Ana Luísa AlmeidaLadvocat, Ana Cláudia Chagas de PaulaFélix, João Carlos MarquesIshii, Joelma de Souza CoimbraChellini, Paula Rochainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2019-07-19T03:26:38Zoai:periodicos.ufjf.br:article/2969Revistahttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/hurevistaPUBhttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/hurevista/oairevista.hurevista@ufjf.edu.br1982-80470103-3123opendoar:2019-07-19T03:26:38HU Revista (Online) - Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF)false |
