“…The high loss of intradomiciliary contacts to be approached refers in large part to the temporal question between the evaluation action and the field work. Case cohorts were inserted in the municipality of Cacoal from 2001 to 2012, with evaluation in 2014, which explains aspects related to migration and deaths (23) . In addition, the refusals from leprosy reference cases may be associated with the strong disease-related stigma (3)(4)19,24) .…”

“…In 2010, 31.5% of the population of the State consisted of immigrants, and Palmas (the capital) had a proportion of 48.1%, Araguaína of 37.1%, and Gurupi of 32.4% immigrants b . The migratory movements may increase the incidence of disease when susceptible migrants move to areas of high endemicity and infected migrants move to non-endemic areas, especially among the poor, who are disproportionately affected 4,18 . Migratory populations are generally more vulnerable to infectious diseases, such as leprosy.…”

“…This epidemiological situation indicates a relationship of the endemic process of the disease with the habitation of new regions, as Tocantins is a State with a large area of agricultural borders. Migratory movements and population growth leading to deforestation seem to promote an increased incidence of the disease 18 . Additionally, the high values of the indicators may reflect the social vulnerability of the disease, which also favors transmission and endemicity of the bacillus 7,14 .…”

OBJECTIVE To identify the socioeconomic, demographic, operational, and health service-related factors associated with the occurrence of leprosy in a hyperendemic State in North Brazil.METHODS This is an ecological study based on secondary data from the Sistema de Informações de Agravos de Notificação in municipalities of the State of Tocantins from 2001 to 2012. Units of analysis were the 139 municipalities of the State. Negative binomial log linear regression models were used to estimate incidence rate ratios.RESULTS In bivariate analysis, the incidence rate ratios were significantly higher for municipalities with higher income ratio of the poorest 20.0% (1.47; 95%CI 1.19–1.81) and better Municipal Human Development Index (1.53; 95%CI 1.14–2.06). In multivariate analysis, the incidence rate ratios were significantly higher in municipalities with higher proportion of immigrants (1.31; 95%CI 1.11–1.55) and higher proportion of households with waste collection (1.37; 95%CI 1.11–1.69). There was a significant reduction in the incidence rate ratio with increased coverage of the Bolsa Família Program (0.98; 95%CI 0.96–0.99).CONCLUSIONS Control programs need to focus on activities in municipalities of greater social vulnerability with intersectoral investment for the improvement of the living conditions of the population.

RESUMO Objetivo Caracterizar a tendência, segundo indicadores epidemiológicos e operacionais, de endemia da hanseníase no Estado da Paraíba no período de 2001-2011, com projeções para os anos de 2012-2014. Métodos Estudo epidemiológico de série temporal, retrospectivo e documental, realizado com 10.476 casos notificados de hanseníase, diagnosticados entre 2001-2011, nos 223 municípios do Estado paraibano. Utilizou-se para composição e análise dos resultados dois indicadores epidemiológicos e um indicador operacional além de software estatístico. Resultados Para o coeficiente de detecção anual de casos novos, verificou-se inclinação ascendente entre os anos de 2001 a 2005, com tendência de queda a partir de 2006. Quanto à incapacidade física, visualizou-se variação cíclica, com tendência à inclinação descendente, com classificação considerada de média efetividade. Conclusão Os resultados apontaram continuidade da endemia no Estado, existindo a necessidade de avaliações mais curtas voltadas aos programas e estratégias em saúde utilizadas no combate à hanseníase.
