Surveillance in health: accidents and deaths caused by venomous animals in the southeast region – Brazil, 2005-2015

“…The results found here are also close to other studies carried out in the State of Bahia/Brazil, 13 in the State of Rio Grande do Norte/Brazil, 6 in a general hospital from the Bahia countryside, 9 in the Poison Control Center of the Regional University Hospital of Maringá city, Paraná State/Brazil, 14 and in previous investigations done in the State of MG. 15,16 As for the animals causing the accidents investigated, a higher frequency of accidents and deaths caused by scorpions was observed, followed by those caused by snakes, especially in the State of MG. Scorpionism has been growing significantly throughout the country, especially in urban areas, 17 where the scorpion is well adapted and finds the right conditions to proliferate. 8 They represent a serious problem not only in the Southeast but in other regions in Brazil, due to the high number of cases reported annually.…”

“…Furthermore, it corroborates the need for a quick interval between the time of the accident and the care, 9 which also implies access to antivenoms. Although venomous animal poisoning is a frequent public health concern in many countries, this problem remains neglected, especially in tropical and subtropical countries.…”

“…They collaborate not only for the adequacy and improvement of their functions, but also for the design of public policies that aim to reduce the occurrence and morbidity and mortality caused by these accidents. 9 In the Southeast region of Brazil there are no previous studies documented in the literature that have addressed accidents and deaths by venomous animals reported throughout this region. Despite limitations on underreporting, it is hoped that in a region that has not previously investigated this type of research, it may be expected to add new insights and contribute to a more consistent picture of the context in which accidents occur deaths caused by venomous animals.…”

A ocorrência do acidente ofídico está, em geral, relacionada a fatores climáticos, como pluviosidade e temperatura e também com o envolvimento do trabalho no campo, onde geralmente se trabalha próximo ao habitat natural da serpente, causando contato direto com o animal Silva et al (2017), em decorrência disto, a maioria dos acidentes acontecem na zona rural, como o observado nesta pesquisa, e também por autores como (ALBUQUERQUE et al, 2013;CARMO et al, 2016;JESUS et al, 2016;SILVA et al, 2017).…”
