ABSTRACT

Introdução:o Brasil está entre os sete países responsáveis por mais de 90% dos casos de leishmaniose visceral humana (LVH), sendo a região Nordeste a mais endêmica. ALV também afeta cães, que apresentam sintomas debilitantes e podem ser fatais. Os cães são os principais os pedeiros desse parasita. No entanto,há carência de dados epidemiológicos sobre leishmaniose visceral canina (LVC) no Brasil, principalmente na região nordeste. Objetivo:realizar uma revisão sistemática para demonstrar a frequência e a distribuição espacial da LVC nos estados do nordeste do Brasil. Métodos:as seguintes bases de dados foram utilizadas para busca eletrônica: Google Scholar, Lilacs, Scopus, Pubmed, Scielo, Web of Science, Cochrane, OpenGrey e OpenThesis. Os descritores de busca foram: leishmaniose visceral canina, nordeste do Brasil, Alagoas, Bahia, Ceará, Maranhão, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Piauí, Rio Grande do Norte e Sergipe. Resultados:a análise dos 73 artigos selecionados demonstrou uma frequência de LVC de 4,1% no Nordeste do Brasil, entre 1973 a 2022. O estado da Bahia apresentou a frequência (43,9%) e o Piauí a menor (1,9%). Conclusão:os dados demonstram, pela primeira vez, o caráter endêmico da LVC em toda a região nordeste e o caráter propício de disseminação de LVC nessa região. Esses dados também destacam a necessidade de ações governamentais e aprofundamento das pesquisas por parte da comunidade científica

ABSTRACT

Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) is a neglected disease with increasing incidence in Brazil, particularly in the North-eastern. The aim of this study was to analyze the spatial and spatiotemporal dynamics of VL in an endemic region of North-eastern Brazil, between 2009 and 2017. Using spatial analysis techniques, an ecological and time series study was made regarding VL cases in Sergipe filed as notifiable disease events. With data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística, IBGE), a digital population and cartographic baseline was established. Segmented linear regression was used to examine the temporal trends. The statistical analysis methods of Global and Local Moran' I, local Bayesian empirical methodology and spatial-temporal scanning were used to produce thematic maps. High instances were found among adults, males, urban residents, non-Whites and persons with low levels of education. A decrease in the recovery rate and an increase in the proportion of urban cases and lethality was found. A heterogeneous VL distribution with spatiotemporal agglomeration on the seaside of the state was seen in Sergipe. To better manage the disease, new research is encouraged together with development of public health strategies. Further, improving health care networks, especially primary care, is suggested as this approach has a key role in health promotion, prevention and monitoring of the most prevalent diseases.
