“…Table 1 shows that the majority of snakebites occurred in rural areas (n = 1,276; 83.5%), and involved men (n = 1,200; 78.5%), people with low levels of education (n = 1,052; 68.8%), or people who were 30-39 years old (n = 277; 18.1%). This epidemiological profi le is similar to that reported in others studies of ophidism in Brazil (12) (13) . Regarding the victims' occupations, the highest percentage of these cases involved farm workers (n = 445; 59.8%).…”

“…Regarding the victims' occupations, the highest percentage of these cases involved farm workers (n = 445; 59.8%). Therefore, the relationship between snakebites, the rainy season, and farm labor reinforces the classification of these snakebites as labor-associated accidents (12) . Furthermore, rural areas are more severely affected by snakebites, and exhibit high morbidity and mortality rates, which is related to these communities' higher exposure to high-risk areas and diffi culties in accessing health centers that can provide snake antivenom.…”

“…Table 2 shows that the largest group of victims received medical assistance within 3h after the snakebite (n = 545; 35.7%), and that 235 (15.4%) patients received treatment within the fi rst hour. Earlier Brazilian studies (8) (12) have reported that >80% of snakebite victims are attended to within 6h after the bite. However, our fi nding that 20.1% of victims received and similar results have been reported for other Brazilian regions (9) (12) .…”

Introduction: This communication describes a retrospective study of the epidemiology of snakebite cases that were recorded from 2007 to 2012 in the State of Piauí, northeastern Brazil. Methods: Data were collected from the Injury Notifi cation Information System database of the State of Piauí's Health Department. Results: A total of 1,528 cases were identifi ed. The cases occurred most frequently in rural areas between January and July. Victims were predominantly male farmers, and were typically 30-39 years old. Most victims were bitten on the foot, and received medical assistance within 1-3h after being bitten. Conclusions:The epidemiological profi le of snakebites in the State of Piauí is similar to that in all of Brazil.

“…Sobre a classificação da gravidade do caso, a maioria (66,2%) foi leve, concordando com os dados que demonstram a procura do atendimento logo após o acidente, de 0 a 1 hora (38%) e de 1 a 3 horas (28,5%) 19 . A gravidade do envenenamento (leve, moderado ou grave) foi classificada conforme recomendação do Ministério da Saúde: leve, moderado ou grave, nos acidentes botrópicos e crotálicos; moderado ou grave, nos acidentes laquéticos e grave, no acidente elapídico 12 .…”

O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever o perfil epidemiológico dos acidentes ofídicos da macrorregião de saúde do Norte do Estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Foram analisadas informações sobre os acidentes ofídicos relativos ao período compreendido entre janeiro de 2002 a dezembro de 2006, por meio de bancos de dados. Os resultados demonstraram 10.553 casos notificados, com ênfase para a maior casuística em meses de tempo quente e chuvoso, em áreas urbanas (54,1%), faixa etária menor de 20 anos (39,7%), acometendo mais homens e estudantes (53,1% e 29,1%) respectivamente. Os membros inferiores (pé, dedo do pé, perna e coxa) foram os locais mais afetados (35,9%), as serpentes prevalentes foram do gênero Bothrops (82,9%) e a gravidade da maioria dos acidentes foi leve (66,2%). Observou-se nesse estudo um importante impacto da sazonalidade, urbanização, subnotificação das espécies envolvidas nesses acidentes e busca rápida pelo pronto atendimento. Espera-se que os dados inéditos da casuística obtida possam servir de substrato para o planejamento e execução de medidas voltadas para vigilância em saúde e atendimento.

:The popular knowledge about snakes, including the practices adopted in cases of snakebite, was analysed in this ethnozoological study performed in Araponga region and vicinities of Serra do Brigadeiro (Brigadeiro Mountain Range), Atlantic Forest of Minas Gerais state, southeastern Brazil. Between August and November 2008, interviews were conducted with 50 residents of rural areas of Araponga, and 20 employees of the Serra do Brigadeiro State Park (PESB). In relation to social and cultural profile, these two groups differed only on the level of education (higher among the park staff), with the same distributions for age and religion. There was also a lower level of education among older individuals, a possible reflection of improvements in the social conditions in that region, which would have provided greater access to schools in recent decades. In general, both groups demonstrated adequate knowledge about prevention and procedures in cases of snakebite (78.2% reported seeking medical attention in case of snakebite). The use of folk medicine for treatment of snakebite proved to be a practice falling into disuse, reported by approximately 21% of respondents. Most respondents (57.14%) said they did not know the difference between a poisonous and a non-poisonous snake, and 66.67% showed adequate knowledge of the season when snake encounters are more likely to happen. The "Araponga" group was more hostile concerning to possible encounters with snakes, with 43% of people saying they would kill the animal, against 5% in the "PESB" group. The educational level of the respondents was decisive in determining the kind of attitude taken against snakes, and those with higher levels of education showed to be the less hostile ones. People with lower educational levels were more likely to consider all snakes as dangerous, and they also proved to be more hostile to these animals. More contact with scientific and environmental education activities seems to have been decisive for the higher tolerance to snakes by the "PESB" group. The implementation of activities of environmental education for the population of Araponga can increase the awareness of the importance of snakes, instructing those who still consider them intrinsically harmful. Resumo: O conhecimento popular sobre as serpentes, incluindo as práticas adotadas em casos de acidentes ofídicos, foi abordado neste estudo etnozoológico realizado na região de Araponga e entorno da Serra do Brigadeiro, Mata Atlântica do Estado de Minas Gerais, região Sudeste do Brasil. Entre agosto e novembro de 2008 foram realizadas entrevistas com 50 moradores da zona rural de Araponga e 20 funcionários do Parque Estadual da Serra do Brigadeiro (PESB). Em relação ao perfil cultural e social, os grupos avaliados diferiram entre si somente quanto ao nível de escolaridade (maior entre os funcionários do parque), apresentando as mesmas distribuições em relação a idade e religião. Também se verificou menor nível de escolaridade entre os indivíduos mais velhos. Em geral, ambos os grupos d...
