Resumo: | INTRODUCTION: A retrospective analysis of the Program for Leprosy Control in four counties of Mato Grosso State, on the Brazil-Bolivian frontier, has been undertaken in the present study. POPULATION AND METHODS: The health care service records of all patients registered by the Programs for Leprosy Control during the period from the beginning of their activities up to 1990 inclusive were checked. Final analysis was performed by epidemiological and operational indicators for the follow-up of control activities of Leprosy Control, as defined by the World Health Organization. RESULTS: An inadequate recording of information given by the patient was detected in more than half of all cases. The prevalence of leprosy varied from 15 to 48/10,000, in the period studied. The annual detection rate of new cases was 112/100,000 in 1990. CONCLUSION: The results suggest a high endemicity pattern for leprosy in the region. With regard to operational indicators our finding showed inadequate practice regarding all the activities of the program probably worsened by the poor qualification of the health workers involved in the assistance given. |

INTRODUÇÃO: Avaliou-se, retrospectivamente, a situação epidemiológica e operacional do controle da hanseníase, em quatro municípios da fronteira matogrossense Brasil-Bolívia. POPULAÇÃO E MÉTODOS: As informações foram coletadas do sistema de registro/prontuário de cada paciente inscrito no Programa de Controle da Hanseníase, no período que decorreu do início da operacionalização dos programas até 1990. Foram estabelecidos os indicadores epidemiológicos e operacionais, definidos pela Organização Mundial de Saúde. RESULTADOS: Foi observado registro inadequado das informações dos pacientes em mais da metade dos prontuários. O coeficiente de prevalência oscilou entre 15 a 48/10.000, no período estudado. O coeficiente de detecção anual de casos novos para o ano de 1990 foi de 112/100.000 habitantes. CONCLUSÕES: Os resultados encontrados apontam alta prevalência da hanseníase, ineficiência na detecção de casos, tendência à expansão da endemia e uma baixa qualidade nos programas de controle à doença.
