Temporal and spatial distribution of American tegumentary leishmaniasis in north Paraná: 2010-2015.
Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical 2019 Februrary 15
INTRODUCTION: Describing the general aspects of American tegumentary leishmaniasis enables the identification of the epidemiological scenario of the disease and the development of preventive actions.
METHODS: We analyzed the records of patients with American tegumentary leishmaniasis in north Paraná between 2010 and 2015.
RESULTS: We identified 108 cases (mostly in 2014) with the following characteristics: male individuals, rural workers, and ages averaging 56.8 years. Isolated ulcerated lesions were predominant, and Glucantime® was the most frequently used drug.
CONCLUSIONS: American tegumentary leishmaniasis remains endemic and affects mostly men found in areas surrounded by woods; its treatment is partially efficient considering its side effects and incidence of recurrences.
