RESUMO

During the period from 1994 to 1999 cutaneous leishmaniasis was reported in 32 (89%) out of 36 municipalities in the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte, Brazil, of which one (2,8%) municipality was classified as a very high risk area, 16 (44,5%) as high risk, seven (19,4%) as moderate risk areas and 12 (33,3%) as low risk. From 1994 to 1995, visceral leishmaniasis was reported in six (16%) municipalities whereas in 1998 - 1999 this number increased to 15 (42%). Annual numbers of cases during 1994 to 1999 were 30, 53, 64, 53 and 84, respectively. In 19 (61.3%) municipalities no reference center for the diagnosis of the infection was available, so that most of the patients (80%) were referred to Belo Horizonte. Twelve (39%) municipalities have a center for leishmaniasis evaluation, however in only eight (67%) of these basic specific diagnostic tests were available. Rapid and extensive increase of leishmaniasis associated with low diagnosis capacity has been observed in the metropolitan area of Belo Horizonte.

No período de 1994 a 1999, foram notificados casos de leishmaniose tegumentar em 32 (89%) dos 36 municípios da Região Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte. Em um (2,8%) município o risco de adquirir a doença foi considerado muito alto, em 16 (44.5%), médio em sete (19,4%) e baixo em 12 (33.3%). Leishmaniose visceral foi notificada em seis (17%) dos 36 municípios, nos anos 94 e 95, elevando-se para 15 (42%) no biênio 98/99. O total de casos de leishmaniose visceral notificados anualmente no período 94 a 99 foi 30, 53, 64, 60, 53, 84, respectivamente. Não há serviços referenciados para atendimento da doença em 19 (61,3%) de 31 municípios, sendo 80% dos pacientes encaminhados para Belo Horizonte. Em 12 (39%) municípios com serviços referenciados, somente oito (67%) dispõem de testes diagnósticos específicos para leishmaniose. Verificou-se rápida e extensa expansão das leishmanioses na região metropolitana de Belo Horizonte e baixa capacidade de resolução diagnóstica pelos seus municípios.
