“…The results show that in the last decade there has been a reduction in the number of new cases of leprosy in the state of Goiás, which may have occurred due to the implementation of the Leprosy Control Program in Primary Care 8 and the Family Health Teams, in most of the municipalities of the state of Goiás 9 . Similar results were observed in previous studies carried out in other Brazilian endemic states, showing a general trend towards a decrease in the incidence of the disease in the different regions of the country [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] . However, Brazil is still one of the most endemic countries in the world for leprosy.…”

Brazil is the second nation in absolute number of new cases of leprosy in the world. The country presents many regions highly endemic to the disease, as is the case of the Goiás. The present study aims to analyze the temporal trends of leprosy indicators in Goiás between 2006 and 2015. This study showed a significant trend of decline for the coefficient of detection. Although the central-western region of the state presented the highest absolute number of cases, the Northeast of the state presents the worst epidemiological situation, with an increase in the number of cases of patients with physical disabilities and those under 14 years of age. The data also showed that there is an increase in the cases of patients with physical deformities in almost all macroregions of the state, indicative of late diagnosis. It is very important that there is a more effective and continuous training of the health professionals of the non-centralized units, for a real control of leprosy as a public health problem in the state. In addition, special attention should be given to the poorer regions of the state, which have shown a tendency to increase the diagnosis of patients younger than 14 years and with physical disabilities caused by leprosy.

“… 42 Disease chronicity, associated with population aging, also contributes to the increased need for specialized care. 43 , 44 The distribution of diagnoses between regions reflects the survey of capital cities in 2014, in which psoriasis was more prevalent in the south and southeast. 34 Our regional differences in the rates of vitiligo, leprosy, and hidradenitis suppurativa also reproduced the findings of population-based studies in Brazil, which might be attributed to the regional ethnic composition.…”

BackgroundDermatological diseases are among the primary causes of the demand for basic health care. Studies on the frequency of dermatoses are important for the proper management of health planning.ObjectivesTo evaluate the nosological and behavioral profiles of dermatological consultations in Brazil.MethodsThe Brazilian Society of Dermatology invited all of its members to complete an online form on patients who sought consultations from March 21-26, 2018. The form contained questions about patient demographics, consultation type according to the patient's funding, the municipality of the consultation, diagnosis, treatments and procedures. Diagnostic and therapeutic decisions were compared between subgroups.ResultsData from 9629 visits were recorded. The most frequent causes for consultation were acne (8.0%), photoaging (7.7%), nonmelanoma skin cancer (5.4%), and actinic keratosis (4.7%). The identified diseases had distinct patterns with regard to gender, skin color, geographic region, type of funding for the consultation, and age group. Concerning the medical conducts, photoprotection was indicated in 44% of consultations, surgical diagnostic procedures were performed in 7.3%, surgical therapeutic procedures were conducted in 19.2%, and cosmetic procedures were performed in 7.1%.Study limitationsNonrandomized survey, with a sample period of one week.ConclusionThis research allowed us to identify the epidemiological profiles of the demands of outpatients for dermatologists in various contexts. The results also highlight the importance of aesthetic demands in privately funded consultations and the significance of diseases such as acne, nonmelanoma skin cancer, leprosy, and psoriasis to public health.

Background: Hidradenitis is a chronic relapsing follicular occlusive disease with a widely variable reported prevalence. The exact prevalence and incidence of HS is unknown. Objectives: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the published literature to estimate the global incidence and prevalence of HS. Methods: Literature searches were performed on Medline, Embase, and Pubmed to identify studies reporting incidence and/or prevalence of HS. Pooled estimates of prevalence and incidence were calculated with a meta-analysis of proportions. Results: In total, 12 studies were included (Australia, Brazil, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, UK, USA) comprising a total population of 53,805,690. Eleven studies reported prevalence. The pooled proportion of individuals in the general population with HS was 0.36% (95% CI: 0.21, 0.56). Self-reported HS gave a higher prevalence estimate than clinician-diagnosed HS. HS is more prevalent in women. Average annual incidence of HS was 28.5 cases/100,000 (95% CI: 26.8, 30.1). Conclusions: We estimated the global prevalence of HS to be 0.36% with 3:2 female predominance and average annual incidence to be 28.5 cases/100,000
