“…The most (86.1%) of the cases resided in the urban area, contradicting the tendency of a higher proportion the rural area due to soil exposition. But this fact was observed in other studies, and the infection was even reported on domestic environment, which reinforces that the bacteria may be present in any environment [9,[11][12][13].…”

Introduction: Tetanus has a worldwide distribution and high lethality. The goal of this study was to characterize the tetanus cases confirmed in Pernambuco and identify factors associated with death in these patients. Methods: Cross-sectional, with internal comparison groups. For data analysis we used the chi-square test and Pearson estimated the odds ratios and their respective confidence intervals at 95%. Multivariate analysis was applied to multiple logistic regression Results: The incidence of tetanus ranged between 0.65 and 2.79 cases per 100,000 inhabitants with higher involvement of adults, male and city population. Only 13.8% had received the vaccine and 23.4% received it as prophylaxis. The average mortality rate was 20.4%. In multivariate analysis, presented neck stiffness as a symptom (p = 0.029), which was associated with increased mortality. Conclusion: There is a need for greater investment in the prevention of the disease, both in immunization coverage and in the application of prophylaxis. Despite the hospitalization guarantee with proper care, there was an increase in tetanus mortality, suggesting that more specific studies should be conducted to investigate what may have influenced this change. Special attention should be offered to cases that presented neck stiffness as a symptom, because these groups have a higher chance of progressing to death.

“…Repeating the results found in a study carried out with 131 patients in the State of Ceará, in 2007, with professions totaled 32.0% of the cases. These results reveal the direct relationship between illness and occupational risk individuals are exposed [11]. For that reason, they are groups with essential rethinking the strategies of expansion of vaccination coverage and actions of health education with an emphasis in this population.…”

Objective: to describe the epidemiological profile of accidental tetanus cases (ICD-A35) in a referral hospital in the State of Pernambuco, during a 7-year term, between 2007-2013. Method: this is a descriptive, retrospective, quantitative study based on secondary data.Results: there were 126 cases confirmed, mostly male (89%) and from the urban area (77%). The most frequent professions were agricultural workers in general and masons (31.7%), with age group between 35-49 years old (39.7%). The perforation was the most evident injury (48.4%). The lower limbs were the most affected region (65.1%), and the predominant clinical sign was trismus (90.5%). The lethality rate was 19.0%, and the mean length of hospital stay was 49.4 days. Conclusions:Thus, tetanus, notwithstanding the easy availability of an efficient vaccine remains a public health problem in Pernambuco, presenting high lethality and a long time in the service.

Objetivo: Identificar o perfil vacinal de usuários adultos de uma microárea de cobertura de uma agente de saúde. Metodologia: Pesquisa exploratória descritiva de abordagem quantitativa, realizada em fevereiro de 2013 com 62 adultos, onde foi selecionado um adulto por família. Como instrumento de coleta de dados utilizou-se um questionário. Para organização dos dados, elaboração de tabelas optou-se pelo software Epi Info versão 3.5.2. Resultados: Muitos dos adultos (76%) não tinham conhecimento sobre o calendário vacinal e 59% apresentaram o cartão de vacinação incompleto. Muitos, há anos não eram vacinados. A falta de informação e interesse foi o principal fator que dificulta a adesão à vacinação. Mais da metade (56%) dos pesquisados adquiriram a vacina contra difteria e tétano (dT). Grande parte dos adultos (38,7%) receberam informações gerais sobre as vacinas através dos meios de comunicação. Conclusão: É possível, através da identificação do perfil vacinal de uma população, lançar estratégias e alternativas que visem mudança no comportamento das pessoas quanto à obtenção de imunizações. Palavras-chave: Vacinação. Adulto. Esquemas de imunização. Profissional da saúde.
