Abstract: RESUMO A leptospirose é um problema de saúde pública mundial. No Brasil, ela é uma doença de notificação compulsória e está relacionada a áreas com precárias condições sanitárias. Foi realizado um estudo ecológico retrospectivo para observar a distribuição espacial e temporal de casos confirmados da leptospirose em escala nacional no período entre 2007 e 2017. A espacialização da leptospirose utilizou técnicas de geoprocessamento por análise de padrões pontuais e por mapas de densidade Kernel. Os resultados re… Show more

“…The disease has become an issue of concern in countries in Europe and other developed countries, either as an emerging or re-emerging condition. In developing countries, such as those in East Asia, South and Central America, and Sub-Saharan Africa, the disease has been considered to be neglected [ 6 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ].…”

“…The hotspots are taken as central points, where there is a greater intensity of the analyzed event in the study area. By considering the circular distance of each central point, it scores all points within the sample influence radius with event smoothing [ 9 , 23 ]. “Heat maps” were constructed to visualize the results of hotspot analysis with the highest leptospirosis incidence areas [ 24 ].…”

“…In Brazil, leptospirosis is an endemic disease and is present throughout the country. It has a high incidence, with an annual average of 3,926 confirmed cases and a death rate of 8.9% between 2007 and 2016, with the highest number of cases registered in the southeast and south regions of Brazil [ 8 , 9 , 10 ]…”

“…No Brasil, ainda não existe imunização contra a leptospirose, nesse sentido, a melhor forma para prevenir da doença são as ações de prevenção e educação voltadas para reduzir os fatores de risco e comportamentos que possam potencializar a infecção. 45,35 Diante do exposto, torna-se fundamental contribuir para a proposição de medidas de promoção da saúde e prevenção de zoonoses nas prisões com a finalidade de aumentar o estado de saúde e minimizar os riscos de adoecimento. Ademais, para os casos suspeitos, deve-se notificar o serviço de vigilância epidemiológica local para que sejam adotadas medidas de monitoramento e intervenção assertivas.…”
