“…According to Jardim et al [ 32 ], the pandemic brought about changes in the care profile for patients with chronic diseases across different levels of healthcare. This led to the cancellation and subsequent rescheduling of appointments, resulting in challenges for diagnosis and follow-up for patients, including those with leprosy.…”

“…This finding aligns with a study by Da Paz et al [31], which reported an 11,357 reduction in leprosy cases in Brazil during 2020, representing a 41% decrease compared to the average number of cases between 2015 and 2019.

Leprosy is an infectious disease characterized by slow and chronic evolution, caused by Mycobacterium leprae and or Mycobacterium lepromatosis, an intracellular alcohol-acid-resistant (BAAR) bacillus. The objective of this study was to provide an epidemiological, clinical, and geographic characterization of leprosy in the city of Santarém-Pará during the period 2011–2020. A cross-sectional, descriptive, and quantitative approach was used, employing maps and tables to illustrate clinical and epidemiological variables, including: sex, age, race, area of residence, operational classification, clinical form, number of skin lesions, number of affected nerves, and health units. During the analyzed period, 581 cases of leprosy were diagnosed, resulting in the following cumulative incidence rates: male (60%); age over 15 years (94%); urban area (73%); multibacillary (74%); borderline form (46%); skin lesions greater than 5 (34%); and no nerves affected (68%). In the urban perimeter, a higher cumulative incidence of cases was observed in the central area with 133 cases. However, the health unit reporting the largest number of cases belonged to the southern area, specifically the Basic Health Unit of Nova República, with 48 cases. This study highlights the need to characterize the nuances of leprosy and its variability within the urban environment, according to different areas. Further research is essential to inform the implementation of public policies aimed at addressing the population with the highest vulnerability index, thereby reducing leprosy rates in Santarém.

“….Durante a pandemia, foi possível perceber que muitos serviços de saúde precisaram passar por adaptações significativas para lidar com o aumento da demanda causado pela COVID-19. Isso incluiu mudanças no perfil de atendimento, com a incorporação de novas atividades para tratar pacientes com a doença e suas complicações, tanto na atenção primária em saúde quanto a nível hospitalar(BERGALLO, 2020;JARDIM et., 2021). Como resultado, essas questões representam obstáculos significativos para o controle e prevenção efetivos da hanseníase durante a pandemia de COVID-19.…”

Scorpion envenomation in Brazil: Current scenario and perspectives for containing an increasing health problem

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Opportunistic scorpion species can colonize urban environments, establishing high-density communities that enhance the chances of human accidents. This scenario has been taking place in Brazil, in which some Tityus species have taken city centers, causing an explosion in the number of scorpion envenoming cases. The characteristics of this scorpionism epidemic in Brazil is discussed in the present work. The number of Brazilian scorpion stings has surpassed 120,000 cases in 2017, and has been maintained above this number ever since, representing a more than 3-fold increase in 10 years, which was higher than the number of cases for most of the neglected tropical diseases in the country. The escalation in scorpionism cases is even higher in some regions of Brazil. Fortunately, the proportion of mild cases has also increased in the analyzed period, as well as the number of victims seeking for medical attention within the first hour after the accident. The species Tityus serrulatus, Tityus stigmurus, Tityus bahiensis, and Tityus obscurus are traditionally accountable for most of the scorpion accidents in different regions of Brazil, but other species deserve to be closely watched. Despite scorpionism being a notable health problem in Brazil, accident prevention and pest control regarding this venomous animal have not been properly addressed by the scientific community nor by policy makers. Therefore, this review also aims to point possible fields of research that could help to contain the aggravation of the current scorpionism landscape in Brazil.
