ABSTRACT

O presente trabalho foi realizado entre dezembro de 2003 e janeiro de 2004. Teve como objetivo avaliar a ocorrência de teníase nessa população. Participaram do estudo 628 pessoas, dessas, 16 (2,5%) eram portadores de teníase. Praticamente a metade dos casos de teníase ocorreram em indivíduos na faixa etária entre os 30 a 49 anos (49,9%). Ocorreu associação entre existência dehortas e adubação, com os casos de teníase (p < 0,001). O consumo de carne de porco “mal passada”, também apresentou significância estatística (p = 0,003). A presença de sintomas estava associada aos casos com teníase (p = 0,004). Constatou-se ainda, que as pessoasque apresentaram teníase tinham maior chance de possuir outras enteroparasitoses (p = 0,038). O maior problema do bairro é a falta de infra-estrutura sanitária, possibilitando a exposição das pessoas e dos animais, ao esgoto a céu aberto, favorecendo a manutenção do complexo teníase/cisticercose. Desta forma, para interromper essa cadeia de transmissão faz-se necessária à melhoria da infra-estrutura sanitária e intensificação das ações preventivas e educativas em saúde pública.


The present study was done from december, 2003 to january, 2004. The main objective of this research was to evaluate the occurrence of taeniasis among its population. 628 people took part in the study, being 16 (2,5%) of the participants carriers of taeniasis. Almost half of the cases of teniasis were found among individuals around the age of 30 to 49 years (49.9%). A correlation between the existence of vegetable gardens and adubation and the cases of taeniasis was found (p=0.001). The consumption of raw pork meat was found to be statistically significant (p=0.003).The symptons were associated with cases of taeniasis (p = 0.004). It was also found that those who had taeniasis had a higher chance of having other enteroparasites (p=0.038). The most important problem in the neighborhood is the lack of sanitary infrastructure, forcing people and animals to the open contact with landfills and sewage contamination, and therefore favouring the maintenance of the complex taeniasis/cysticercose. In order to end this transmission chain, it is necessary that a sanitary infra-structure is implemented and that preventive and educational actions in public health be intensified.
