“…Quanto à notificação inadequada, estudo aponta que há dificuldade por parte dos profissionais em realizar essa notificação, visto que em alguns casos se desconhece tal processo. 31 Dessa forma, ressalta-se à necessidade de avaliações formativas que promovam o aprimoramento do processo de notificação desses casos 32 .…”

RESUMENEl objetivo de este estúdio fue caracterizar los casos notificados de Tuberculosis coinfectados por el Virus de la Inmunodeficiencia Adquirida en Río Grande del Norte, estado del noreste brasileño. Se trata de un estudio ecológico, retrospectivo, basado en datos de notificaciones del Sistema de Información de Agravios de Notificación entre los años 2001 y 2015. Los datos fueron presentados en gráficos, imagen y tablas y analizados a partir de estudios actuales sobre la temática. Se observó un aumento en el número de casos durante el período analizado. Prevaleció casos confirmados del sexo masculino (75,28%), de personas entre 20 y 39 años (55,63%), que presentaron la forma pulmonar de tuberculosis (71,62%), desarrollaron SIDA (91,27%) e ingresaron en el servicio en la situación de caso nuevo (73,80%). Se observó una cantidad elevada de datos ignorados, como ejemplo, las variables drogas ilícitas (88,82%) y tabaquismo (89,52%). Se concluye que los hallazgos indican el aumento en el número de coinfecciones y una preocupación por la completitud de los datos durante las notificaciones. ABSTRACTThe objective of this study was to characterize the reported cases of Tuberculosis coinfected with the Acquired Immunodeficiency Virus in Rio Grande do Norte, state of northeastern Brazil. This is an ecological, retrospective study based on notification data from the Notification Grievance Information System between 2001 and 2015. The data were presented in graphs, images and tables and analyzed from current studies on the subject. There was an increase in the number of cases during the period analyzed. Prevalence of confirmed male cases (75.28%), between 20 and 39 years old (55.63%), who had the pulmonary form of tuberculosis (71.62%), developed AIDS (91.27%) and entered the service in the new case situation (73.80%). A high amount of ignored data was observed, for example, the variables illicit drugs (88.82%) and smoking (89.52%). It is concluded that the findings indicate the increase in the number of coinfections and a concern for the completeness of the data during the notifications.

“…The problem of incomplete data has been identified in other studies, which offer strategies to minimize the situation and strengthen epidemiological surveillance: the technical training of health teams working in health services where the incidence of the disease and underreported or incomplete data of cases is most exxpressive 25 , and the allocation of people with training in health surveillance to collaborate in the investigation and follow-up of cases 26 .…”

Objective: to describe the epidemiological profile of elderly persons with leprosy in the state of Alagoas. Method: a descriptive epidemiological study of leprosy cases among the elderly reported to the Disease Notification Information System between 2005 and 2015 was carried out. Results: a total of 896 cases were identified, with a predominance of 60-69 years old (60.5%), who were male (50.4%), had no schooling (34.8%), no source of income (54.1%), multibacillary forms of the disease (67.9%), and a high proportion of grade I (30.3%) and II (11.8%) disability at diagnosis. Hyperendemicity was noted during the survey period, with a mean detection rate of 29.48 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. Conclusion: leprosy is a growing disease among the elderly and early detection should be encouraged in this population to prevent the impairment of active aging.

“…Dengue is a major public health problem in Brazil and is endemic in all regions of the country, with mandatory notification to the Brazilian Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN). SINAN was started in 1990, and the system was introduced countrywide in 1994 to collect and process individual notification forms and the follow-up of cases (three levels: municipality, state and federal government) [13][14][15][16]. According to SINAN, approximately 9.5 million dengue cases were notified between 2000 and 2015 in Brazil, with the number of notified cases increasing from approximately 696,000 in 2002 to 1.68 million cases in 2015 [17][18][19].…”

Introduction: Dengue is a serious global health problem endemic in Brazil. Consequently, our aim was to measure the costs and disease burden of symptomatic dengue infections in Brazil from the perspective of the Brazilian Public Health System (SUS) between 2000 and 2015 using Brazilian public health system databases. Specific age group incidence estimates were used to calculate the disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) to gain a better understanding of the disease burden. Areas covered: SUS spent almost USD159 million and USD10 million to treat dengue and severe dengue, respectively, between 2000-2015. This is principally hospitalization costs with the majority of patients self-treated at home with minor symptoms. The average notification rate for dengue was 273 per 100,000 inhabitants and 3 per 100,000 for severe dengue, with annual DALYs estimates ranging between 72.35 to 6,824.45 during the 16 years. Expert commentary: The epidemiological and morbidity burden associated with dengue is substantial in Brazil, with costs affected by the fact that most patients self-treat at home with these costs not included in SUS. The Brazilian government urgently needs to proactively evaluate the real costs and clinical benefits of any potential dengue vaccination program by the National Immunization Program to guide future decision making.
