Análise espacial e temporal dos casos de esporotricose humana e felina no município de Duque de Caxias, RJ e sua relação com aspectos socioambientais no período entre 2007 e 2016

Sporotrichosis is a subacute or chronic mycosis caused, in most cases, by traumatic implantation of pathogenic species of the genus Sporothrix. The most prevalent species in Brazil is Sporothrix brasiliensis. Human sporotrichosis is endemic in Latin America, mainly in the state of Rio de Janeiro (RJ). From 1997 to 2011, 4,188 human cases were diagnosed at Evandro Chagas National Institute of Infectious Diseases / Oswaldo Cruz Foundation-Fiocruz, and between 1998 and 2015, 4,703 cases were diagnosed in cats at the same institution. Considering the importance of the data analysis and geoprocessing technology in the context of the spatial location of the diseases, this study analyzed the cases of human and feline sporotrichosis in Duque de Caxias correlating them with social and environmental aspects by building thematic maps. The objective of this study was to analyze the occurrence of human and feline sporotrichosis in the municipality of Duque de Caxias, RJ, between 2007 and 2016. This was a retrospective study of human and feline sporotrichosis in the municipality of Duque de Caxias between 2007 and 2016, with epidemiological and spatial analysis. The source of data related to human sporotrichosis was the database of the System of Information of Notifiable Diseases (SINAN) of the state of RJ, through the notification of patients with international code of diseases (ICD-10) B42 (sporotrichosis) between 2007 and 2016. The data source related to sociodemographic indicators was the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), through information available on its website. The study used as source of feline sporotrichosis the database of the Laboratory of Clinical Research in Dermatozoonoses in Domestic Animals / Evandro Chagas National Institute of Infectious Diseases / Fiocruz and the data on felines with sporotrichosis notified to the SINAN of RJ, through the notification of the feline epizootic endemic in Duque de Caxias. The study comprised 827 cases of human sporotrichosis and 435 cases in felines between 2007 and 2016. The most affected areas showed greater vulnerability of the population, expressed by low per capita income and scanty public supply of treated water. There was an increase in the number of human cases and their spatial distribution in the municipality of Duque de Caxias over the studied period. Likewise, there was an increase in the spatial range of felines with sporotrichosis in the municipality during the study period, with overlap of the areas affected by human and feline cases. It is concluded that sporotrichosis is a paradigmatic disease of the concept of One Health, comprising human, animal and environmental health, and requires measures for better control of this endemic disease in the municipality of Duque de Caxias.
