Epidemiologia Das Intoxicações Humanas Por Raticidas No Brasil

Abstract: intoxicação por raticidas foi mais incidente na zona urbana e no sexo feminino e, teve a tentativa de suicídio como circunstância predominante. Embora a maioria dos casos tenha evoluído para a cura, observou-se quase 40% de cura não confirmada na Região Sul e 57% de evolução ignorada na Sudeste. Os óbitos causados pela ingesta de raticidas foram abaixo de 5%. A intoxicação por raticidas vem se mantendo no Brasil com um problema de saúde pública importante e, apesar das diferenças existentes no país, o perfil d… Show more

“…In other national and international studies, a significant number also underlined care for accidental poisoning in the infant-juvenile population (8)(9)(13)(14)(15)(16) , revealing the need for preventive measures to reduce the incidence, since all accidental events are considered predictable and preventable (17) . Other studies corroborate our findings, in which there was a prevalence of male victims in accidental intoxications (3,(9)(10)(11)16,(18)(19)(20) , which may be explained by behavioral factors, since boys are known to be more active and restless than girls, and social and cultural factors, as greater vigilance is given to girls, while boys are freer in their play and more exposed to the risks of the home environment for intoxication/poisoning (9)(10) .…”

“…The diversity in the type of intoxication among victims aged 10-14, draws attention in order to consider the compression capacity in this age group, instructing about the risks and prevention of intoxication and accidental poisoning (21) . The fact that there was no occurrence of intoxication/ poisoning in patients over the age of 14 may be associated to the characteristic of the study, which included only accidental poisoning and not intentional as characterized by suicide attempts, and that are the most prevalent among adolescents and young people because they already have logical reasoning and free will, and a greater ability to understand the risks of certain products (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13) . Another study sought to investigate accidental poisoning in cases recorded in the Poison Control Center at Maringá Regional University Hospital also found the maximum age of 14 years in unintentional poisoning (18) .…”

“…Nesse caso, a literatura corrobora o que foi encontrado por este estudo: o predomínio dos agravos de intoxicação por agrotóxicos anticolinesterásicos no sexo feminino e no perfil etário mais jovem, consonante com estudos descritivos sobre tentativas de suicídio. 10,11 Quanto à cor ou raça, esperava-se que a parda alcançasse o maior percentual, pois grande parte dos brasileiros declaram-se pardos.…”

“…Entre esses fatores, destacam-se o desemprego, a pobreza, a perda de um ente querido, as discussões familiares ou com amigos, a ruptura de uma relação afetiva, problemas legais ou no trabalho, o uso abusivo de álcool e drogas, o isolamento social e os distúrbios psíquicos. 10,11 O presente estudo também encontrou a ocorrência desse agravo em gestantes: uma gravidez indesejada poderia ser a causa da tentativa de aborto ou suicídio. Não obstante estudos relatarem que os praguicidas anticolinesterásicos não permanecem no organismo por tempo suficiente para exercerem efeitos teratogê-nicos, há referência de abortamento por intoxicação no primeiro trimestre de gravidez.…”
