Resumo: Leptospirosis is a water-borne disease caused by bacteria of the genus Leptospira. The objective of this work was to analyze the relationship between rainfall and the incidence rate of human leptospirosis in the State of Minas Gerais from January 2001 to December 2017. The annual distribution demonstrated a seasonality pattern of leptospirosis incidence. Over the months, the highest occurrence of the disease was observed in the rainy seasons, from October to March. In the months of transition between the rainy season and drought (April) and the dry season to the rainy season (September) a relevant number of cases that could be associated with the rains of the previous month or even the late and early season rains were still observed respectively. In the other months, the cases that occurred do not present a clear relationship with precipitation because they are months with low rainfall. Analyzing the historical series, leptospirosis peaks occurred after a peak of precipitation. The present study demonstrated that in the State of Minas Gerais leptospirosis is endemic and that the seasonality of cases is strongly associated with increased rainfall.

El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar la relación entre las precipitaciones y la tasa de incidencia de leptospirosis humana en el estado de Minas Gerais desde enero de 2001 a diciembre de 2017. Se realizó un estudio observacional del tipo ecológico. La distribución anual mostró un patrón de estacionalidad en los casos de leptospirosis. A lo largo de los meses, la mayor ocurrencia de la enfermedad se observó en los períodos lluviosos, de octubre a marzo. En los meses de transición entre la estación lluviosa y seca (abril) y de la estación seca a lluviosa (septiembre), se observó un mayor número de casos, los cuales podrían estar asociados con las lluvias del mes anterior o incluso con las lluvias de fines y comienzos de estación, respectivamente. En los otros meses, los casos que ocurrieron no tienen relación evidente con la precipitación, ya que son meses con poca precipitación. Al analizar la serie histórica, se encontró que los picos en la tasa de incidencia de leptospirosis ocurrieron después de los picos de precipitación. El presente estudio demostró que en el estado de Minas Gerais, la leptospirosis es endémica y que la estacionalidad de los casos está fuertemente asociada con el aumento de las precipitaciones.A leptospirose é uma doença de veiculação hídrica causada por bactérias do gênero Leptospira. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a relação entre a precipitação pluviométrica e a taxa de incidência de leptospirose humana no Estado de Minas Gerais de janeiro de 2001 a dezembro de 2017. Foi realizado um estudo observacional do tipo ecológico. A distribuição anual demonstrou um padrão de sazonalidade dos casos de leptospirose. os meses, a maior ocorrência da doença foi observada nos períodos chuvosos, de outubro a março. Nos meses de transição entre a estação chuvosa e a seca (abril) e da estação seca para a chuvosa (setembro) ainda foi observado um número maior de casos que poderiam estar associados às chuvas do mês anterior ou ainda às chuvas de final e início de estação, respectivamente. Nos demais meses, os casos que ocorreram não apresentam relação evidente com a precipitação, pois são meses com baixa pluviosidade. Analisando a série histórica verificou-se que picos da taxa de incidência de leptospirose ocorreram após picos de precipitação. O presente estudo demonstrou que no Estado de Minas Gerais a leptospirose é endêmica e que a sazonalidade dos casos está fortemente associada ao aumento da precipitação pluviométrica.Research, Society and Development2021-01-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/1208910.33448/rsd-v10i1.12089Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 1; e58410112089Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 1; e58410112089Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 1; e584101120892525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/12089/10886Copyright (c) 2021 Talita Ribeiro Silva; Raphaella Barbosa Meirelles-Bartoli; Thalita Masoti Blankenheim ; Renata Ferreira dos Santos ; Andressa Vaz Martins; Dirceu Guilherme de Souza Ramos; Andreia Vitor Couto do Amaral; Nivaldo Aparecido de Assis; Luis Antonio Mathiashttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSilva, Talita Ribeiro Meirelles-Bartoli, Raphaella Barbosa Blankenheim , Thalita Masoti Santos , Renata Ferreira dosMartins, Andressa Vaz Ramos, Dirceu Guilherme de SouzaAmaral, Andreia Vitor Couto do Assis, Nivaldo Aparecido de Mathias, Luis Antonio 2021-02-20T21:19:23Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/12089Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:33:45.729935Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
