“…The failure of this procedure implies a lack of resources for the institution, what could make worse the already precarious financial conditions of public hospitals (DAMASCENO, 2006). Out of 168 cases, patients aged 23-60 years were the most affected in all types of leishmaniasis and the sex ratio was 3.42 (male:female); for each type of leishmaniasis, male were primarily affected, similarly to other investigations (MONTEIRO et al, 2009;CELLA et al, 2012). Regarding the individual's occupation, 44 were rural workers (especially in agriculture and mining), 33 were children and retired, 10 were domestic workers, 9 were students, 44 were patients who performed various activities (general services, mechanics, driving, masonry, commerce, banking and others) and 26 did not inform (Table 1).…”

“…However, the relatively higher proportion of women and children under 10 years of age of these CL cases in the NE region is suggestive of a peri-domestic or domestic transmission cycle. In the state of Paraná, the state just north of Santa Catarina, a majority of urban cases (59.2% of all cases reported from 1987 to 2004) has been reported as well [39]. However, with 78.08% urban and 5.80% peri-urban cases, this study has revealed that Santa Catarina now represents the state with one of the highest proportions of urban cases in Brazil [24].…”
