Morbidade hospitalar por doenças negligenciadas transmitidas por vetores biológicos

Abstract

Introduction. Neglected diseases are a group of bacterial, parasitic and viral diseases. Objective. To describe hospital morbidity from dengue and leishmaniasis in Sergipe from 2010 to 2018. Methods. Descriptive epidemiological study with information from the Hospital Information System evaluated in numbers, percentages, hospital morbidity and lethality coefficients. Results. The two neglected diseases corresponded to 2883 hospitalizations in Sergipe in the period described (2010-2018), 2225 for dengue and 658 for leishmaniasis. The number of infected in the first three years (2010-2012) corresponds to 60.2% of the total infections. There is a predominance of males in classical dengue (51.0%) and leishmaniasis (69.5%), however, females predominate in hemorrhagic fever associated with dengue (53.1%). Classical dengue (36.2%) is more prevalent in the age group between 5 and 14 years, while hemorrhagic fever associated with dengue (39.8%) and leishmaniasis (41.6%) are more frequent between 15 and 49 years old. The first seven days are responsible for about 80.0% of hospitalizations and care is more than 97.0% of urgency in the two diseases. The individual cost of hospitalization for classic dengue is R$377.22, for hemorrhagic fever associated with dengue is R$683.70 and for leishmaniasis is R$541.47. The region of residence of 26.7% of individuals diagnosed with dengue, 26.6% with associated hemorrhagic fever and 43.6% with leishmaniasis was Aracaju. Conclusion. The study of neglected diseases is essential for the formulation of efficient combat plans.
