LEPROSY: PATIENTS PROFILES AT USF SERRA DOURADA / MT AND THIS RELATIONSHIP WITH MUNICIPAL AND STATE INDICATORS

Leprosy is an endemic disease in the Midwest of Brazil, however, there is much difficulty in establishing the diagnosis. The study aimed to evaluate the control book of patients diagnosed with leprosy in 2014 at USF Serra Dourada / MT and establish a comparison with the data from the IBGE on the state and local indicators. The method used was to trace the profile of patients diagnosed with leprosy at USF, perform the calculation of indicators and compare the results obtained about the USF patients, with data released in the city of Cuiabá, in the state of Mato Grosso. There were 13 patients diagnosed in the period, of these, 92.3% (12) were older than 15 years, 53.8% (7) were female, 76.9% (10) Dimorphous, 7.69% (1 ) Tuberculoid, 15.38% (2) Virchowian and of these 15.38% (2) had smear-positive at diagnosis. The detection rate in the general population at USF was 334.19%, 52.82% at Cuiaba and MT 82,03%, patients with grade II disability ESF 0%, 4.34% at Cuiaba and MT 4.09%, as the cases cured the unit obtained 61.53%, 81.53% at Cuiaba and MT 79.85% and finally the number of contacts examined at USF 66.67%, 66.14% at Cuiaba and MT 69.47%. We conclude that the USF has major role in the detection of new cases of leprosy. We also conclude the importance of active search for cases and the need for careful clinical evaluation of suspected patients, because as was demonstrated only a minority has smear-positive at diagnosis.
