RESUMO
A esquistossomose é considerada um problema de saúde pública que atinge todo o Brasil, a exemplo do município de Jequié, Bahia, o que expressa a importância da realização de estudos sobre sua incidência. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a prevalência da esquistossomose em Jequié-BA,relacionando-a às políticas públicas propostas pelo Ministério da Saúde. Trata-se de uma pesquisa epidemiológica, quantitativa, descritiva e exploratória com base em dados obtidos do Sistema de Informação de Agravos Notificáveis (SINAN), do Programa Especial de Controle da Esquistossomose (PECE), da Diretoria de Informação em Saúde (DIS)/Bahia, do Centro de Endemias da cidade deJequié e da décima terceira Diretoria Regional de Saúde (DIRES)/Bahia. Os dados, analisados com o empregodo Software Tabwin do Ministério da Saúde, demonstram que, entre 2001 e 2008, Jequié apresentou 13.408 casos de esquistossomose, sendo o ano de 2004 o de maior prevalência (29,5por cento). Embora tenha havido uma redução nos últimos dois anos (3,9por cento em 2007 e 3,5por cento em 2008) a taxa de positividade de esquistossomose da regional de Jequié, no período de 2001 a 2006, ultrapassou o percentual de 5por cento preconizado pelo Ministério da Saúde. Estes dados reforçam a necessidade de políticas públicas e medidas de controle da esquistossomose no município, com enfoque não apenas no tratamentomedicamentoso, mas também em saneamento básico, educação ambiental e educação para a saúde.

These data shows that, between 2001 and 2008, Jequié presented 13,408 cases of schistosomiasis, with the year 2004 presenting the highest prevalence (29.5%). The positive rate of schistosomiasis in the Jequié’s region, in the period from 2001 to 2008, exceeds the 5% recommended by the Ministry of Health, even when the reduction of 3.9% in 2007 and 3.5% in 2008 is considered.
