Resumo: | Leishmaniasis is a disease that can affect visceral organs (visceral leishmaniasis; VL) or mucous membranes and skin, causing lesions of different forms and levels of severities (tegumentary leishmaniasis; TL). Like several others, leishmaniasis is a neglected disease, as the pharmaceutical industry seems to show little to no interest in developing new drugs targeting the disease. This study aims to trace the epidemiological profile of leishmaniasis in the Municipality of Patrocínio, State of Minas Gerais, over a period of time. Secondary data of reported cases from 2000 to 2017 were analyzed as provided by the Patrocinio Health Department. As no literature was found on the status of such a disease in Patrocinio, it is important to trace the epidemiological profile of leishmaniasis in the area. The findings pointed out that the disease affected predominantly male in the economically active population, mainly from the urban area, and that it had no relationship with professional activity. Twenty-two cases of leishmaniasis (15 of TL and 7 of VL) were reported, all of which were treated and cured. Five cases of TL and 1 case of VL were autochthonous, and confirmed cases of canine infection took place in 2011, 2016 and 2017. |

A leishmaniose é uma doença que pode afetar órgãos viscerais (leishmaniose visceral; LV) ou as mucosas e a pele, provocando lesões de diferentes formas e gravidades (leishmaniose tegumentar; LT). Como várias outras moléstias, a leishmaniose é uma doença negligenciada, já que a indústria farmacêutica parece mostrar pouco ou nenhum interesse em desenvolver novos medicamentos direcionados à enfermidade. O estudo teve como objetivo traçar o perfil epidemiológico da leishmaniose no município de Patrocínio, estado de Minas Gerais, ao longo de um período de tempo. Dados secundários de casos registrados no período de 2000 a 2017 foram analisados, conforme fornecido pelo Departamento de Saúde de Patrocínio. Como não foi encontrada literatura sobre a situação dessa doença em Patrocínio, é importante traçar o perfil epidemiológico da leishmaniose na região. Os achados apontaram que a doença afetou predominantemente o sexo masculino da população economicamente ativa, principalmente da área urbana, e que não tinha relação com a atividade profissional. Foram notificados 22 casos de leishmaniose (15 de LT e 7 de LV), todos tratados e curados. Cinco casos de LT e 1 de LV foram considerados autóctones, e houve casos confirmados de infecção canina nos anos de 2011, 2016 e 2017.
