Leprosy remains a public health problem in developing countries. Among communicable diseases, it is one of the leading causes of permanent disability. Brazil had not reached the goal of reducing cases to less than 1 per 10,000 population. This study aimed to analyze the spatial distribution of leprosy cases in Brazil, using a literature review. The search strategy included the LILACS and MEDLINE databases with no language or period restriction. Ecological studies with spatial data analysis were considered as a criterion for the inclusion. We found 38 studies for review after the selection criteria. Among the epidemiological indicators of the disease, the most common was the new case detection rate. Several articles have explored the association between spatial distribution of leprosy and socioeconomic, demographic, and environmental factors. The most common unit of analysis was the municipality. The spatial distribution methods mostly used were: empirical Bayesian method, autocorrelation (Moran's I index) and Kernel estimates. The distribution of leprosy was very heterogeneous, independent of t h e unit of analysis. There was a decrease in the rate of detection and among under-15-year-olds, but some regions maintained high endemicity during the study period. The distribution and risk of illness were directly related to living conditions of the population. Improved access to health services was associated with increased detection rate in some regions. Spatial analysis seems to be a very useful tool to study leprosy and to guide interventions and surveillance.

INTRODUÇÃO: A hanseníase é considerada um grande problema de saúde pública nos países em desenvolvimento. Estima-se que somente 1/3 dos doentes sejam notificados e que, dentre esses, muitos fazem tratamento irregular ou o abandonam, aumentando o impacto da doença. Assim o objetivo desse artigo foi descrever o perfil epidemiológico da população com diagnóstico de hanseníase, no município de Uberaba, Estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil, no período de 2000 a 2006. MÉTODOS: Trata-se de um estudo retrospectivo, que utilizou os dados secundários de notificação de casos hanseníase do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação do Ministério da Saúde do Brasil. RESULTADOS: Foram registrados 455 casos da doença, sendo 55,4% do sexo masculino, a faixa etária dos 34 a 49 anos (31,4 %) foi a mais afetada, houve registro de nove (2%) casos de hanseníase em menores de 15 anos. A forma clínica prevalente foi a dimorfa (69,1%) e a classe operacional foi a multibacilar (87%). Tais achados são preocupantes, considerando-se que são de faixa etária economicamente ativa e potencialmente, os principais disseminadores da doença. CONCLUSÕES: O relato de que a maioria dos casos eram multibacilares, indica diagnósticos tardios, assim, torna-se necessário descentralizar o serviço de hanseníase e capacitar mais profissionais para possibilitar diagnóstico e tratamentos mais precoces.

“…A respeito da Classificação operacional, os resultados reportam maior proporção de doentes multibacilares, o que condiz com estudos realizados em outros estados brasileiros 13,18,25 . No entanto, contrapõem-se a uma pesquisa que teve como cenário a Paraíba, com dados do ano de 2001, que apresentou discreta prevalência de pacientes classificados como paucibacilares 10 .…”

207,831 cases of leprosy were reported in Brazil, of which 4,069 in PB. Male patients predominated (51.38%, 56.57%) in PB and Brazil, respectively; as well as brown color (54.67%, 51.58%); and incomplete elementary school (44.11%, 49.13%). The dimorphic form was the most prevalent condition (PB: 25%, Brazil: 36%), with the majority of the patients diagnosed with multibacillary leprosy (PB: 52.93%, Brazil: 62.04%). Polychemotherapy with 12 doses was the preferred therapy (52.29%, 61.53%). The highest incidences occurred in 2009, 23.28 cases / 100,000 inhabitants, in PB, and in 2008, in Brazil: 24.35 cases / 100,000 inhabitants. Also, in 2008, there was identified a higher incidence in children under 15 years of age in both locations. Conclusion: A similar clinicalepidemiological profile was found for both localities, with a reduction in the incidence of leprosy in the studied period. However, endemicity remains high and indicates the need for a strengthening of epidemiological control actions to fight this disease. Studies such as ours, which outline the clinical and epidemiological profile of the patients, allow for a more accurate reality-driven planning of strategies. DESCRIPTORS Leprosy. Epidemiology.
