“…Given this range of non-specific clinical symptoms, it is difficult to distinguish leptospirosis from other severe febrile diseases using only their unique clinical and epidemiological criteria 8 . Therefore, several studies have reported challenges in the differential diagnosis of leptospirosis and dengue, as both have similar clinical profiles and seasonal onset, with predominance in the rainy season.…”

SUMMARYLeptospirosis is a febrile disease with a typically underestimated global incidence, especially in regions where dengue is endemic. Therefore, it is difficult to accurately determine the number of leptospirosis cases in these areas, which contributes to significant under-reporting this disease. In this study, we estimated the number of possible leptospirosis cases among dengue-like cases that were reported during 2008, 2010, and 2012 in the city of Fortaleza, northeast Brazil. Patients were evaluated for dengue and leptospirosis using immunoenzymatic tests for IgM antibodies that were specific to each pathogen. Among the suspected cases of dengue that resulted as negative in laboratory tests, 10.8% (2008), 19.2% (2010), and 30.8% (2012) were confirmed to be leptospirosis. Considering the cases reported by the surveillance authority as dengue that were subsequently discarded based on the laboratory test results, we estimate that the number of actual leptospirosis cases may be 26 to 49 times higher than those diagnosed and reported by the Health Services. Furthermore, we believe that approximately 20% of dengue-like cases may be leptospirosis cases in areas where the two diseases are endemic.

“…Com relação à proliferação de roedores, há o risco de acarretar em problemas futuros como a contaminação da água com a urina desses seres e causar doenças na população á exemplo da leptospirose. Doença infecciosa causada por uma bactéria do gênero Leptospira, que tem o rato como o principal reservatório (Daher;Abreu & Junior, 2010), e é transmitida ao homem principalmente por meio contato da pele ou mucosas com água ou lama contaminadas com a urina de animais roedores que estejam infectados pela bactéria (Vasconcelos et al, 2012).…”

This work aimed to evaluate the level of perception that students of elementary school II have about various environmental issues and to show the main challenges that the school has to present this theme to the student. To conduct the research, questionnaires were applied in two schools in the municipality of Crato-CE, for students of elementary school II. Questions were asked related to various topics on environmental problems. The applied questions had the purpose of perceiving the differences in the answers, from the levels of the series attended by the interviewed students, on the subjects approached. The results obtained from a detailed analysis of the responses given by the interviewed students showed that the majority of students (approximately 90%) have a good awareness of environmental problems, even in the initial grades of elementary school II. However, it was also observed that as students move from the initial grades to the final grades, they demonstrate to acquire a better conception of some themes related to the environment. The students' perception of environmental themes shows that they have been taught earlier on this type of subject. Such instructions are often made by sources other than the school. In this way, it is perceived that the school increasingly has a fundamental role in leading students to become aware citizens regarding the preservation of nature and the inclusion of environmental education in school curricula will contribute to this.

“…O tratamento deve ser feito com antibioticoterapia, sendo os fármacos de utilização penicilina, ceftriaxone ou cefotaxime. Em casos mais graves, é necessário cuidado intensivo em internações e UTI's, principalmente quando ocorrer hemorragia pulmonar e acometimento renal (BRASIL, 2014;Daher et al, 2010).…”

O presente estudo teve como objetivo fazer um levantamento do conhecimento da população acerca da zoonose leptospirose, na qual foram entrevistadas 684 pessoas de diferentes idades, ocupações e condições de moradia. Devido a circunstância do isolamento social decorrente da pandemia de Covid-19, utilizamos o método de entrevista remota Google Forms. Buscamos reunir diferentes profissionais, tentando associar suas respostas as de profissionais da saúde também questionados, para que fosse avaliada a discrepância ou equivalência das respostas, de acordo com o grau de conhecimento de cada grupo em relação a Leptospirose. Após a realização do questionário, foi disponibilizado um folder digital com as informações corretas sobre a doença, visando conscientizar a população. A bactéria Leptospira é o agente responsável pela infecção da Leptospirose, que se adapta em ambientes úmidos e quentes. Os principais reservatórios da doença são os roedores sinantrópicos que eliminam o agente pela urina. Por isso, condições de baixo saneamento básico e áreas de inundações são áreas de risco que propiciam a infecção. Sendo importante que a população tenha um conhecimento mínimo acerca da doença para poder preveni-la e com isso, combater os focos de contaminação. O nosso estudo teve acesso ao conhecimento de pessoas de diferentes ocupações com intuito de avaliar se as campanhas governamentais estão sendo efetivas com a oferta de informação e conscientização.
