Resumo
They were revised through standardized record, a representative
sample of the existent promptuary in the Book of Registration of the Service of
Infected-Parasitic disease of HMIB. The population objective was 0-9 year-old
children that presented diagnosis of LVA, in the period from 01/09/98 to 01/09/00,
except the month of January that no interned child was registered. In the end of the
research 23 were analyzed patient: 56,52% (13) of the masculine sex, 82,6% are
smaller of 5 years of age. They were born in GO: 26,1% (6), BA: 26,1%, MA:
13,1% (3), MG: 4,3% (1), PI: 4,3%; and they came from GO: 39,1% (9), DF:
21,7% (5), MG: 13,1% (3), BA: 13,1% (3), MA: 8,7% (2), AL 4,3% (1). THE
diagnosis had confirmation parasitology in 65,25% (15) of the cases and serology
in 8,7% (2). The high hospital was granted in function of the patient’s improvement
in 56,6% (13), for clinical cure in 21,7% (5), transfer in 4,3% (1) and a child went
to death. These data reinforce the need of the knowledge of the dynamics of this
disease, in an area considered up to now I not eat endemic, for the probable
urbanization risks, due to the simultaneous migration (verified) of people and its
reservoirs canine, both infected, as to potential geographical dispersion of Lutzomyia
longipalpis and/or of another species vectorial suspicion.
