Mônica Cardoso Façanha; Alicemaria Ciarlini Pinheiro

Diarrhea is still an important cause of morbidity and mortality among children under five years old. It is not mandatory to report diarrheal diseases, and the statistics are not accurate. The objective of this study was to describe follow-up of acute diarrhea in Fortaleza, the capital of Ceará State, Brazil. From 1994 to 2001, cases of acute diarrhea were reported by 100 health care units using a standardized form, keyed-in and analyzed by month, age group, treatment plan, place of treatment, and place of residence. There were 489,069 cases reported, with an annual average of 81,511. February and March had the highest monthly rates. Incidence in infants (< 1 year) was 538.8, three times that of children from 1 to 4 years and 13 times the rate in the 5-to-9-year bracket. All areas in the city reported cases of diarrhea. Diarrhea shows a persistently high incidence, mainly among infants, and merits attention as a major public health problem.

BACKGROUND: To eliminate leprosy as a public health problem in Brazil, the Ministry of Health aims to achieve a prevalence rate of less than 1.0 case/10,000 inhabitants, encouraging diagnosis and treatment of patients and reducing dissemination of the disease. The National Disease Notification System (SINAN) is in charge of verify the elimination plan results. OBJECTIVE: To verify the proportion of leprosy cases diagnosed and reported to SINAN by health centers of the city of Fortaleza, in Ceara, Northeastern region of Brazil. METHODS: Comparison between cases registered in health centers and those reported to the Municipal Secretariat of Health of Fortaleza (HDF) from 2002 to 2004. Cases registered in health care centers but not in SINAN were considered underreported and retrieved. RESULTS: Fifteen (64%) health care centers informed at least one case in the period. From them 411 cases were retrieved (17.5% of total informed). About 342 retrieved cases were reported to the SINAN data base in the health center, but not to the database at the Municipal Health Secretariat. CONCLUSIONS: The surveillance system needs to be improved to prevent lack of information and to show the true frequency of diagnosed cases.

A incidência, a prevalência e o número de casos de tuberculose notificados pelo município de Fortaleza vêm apresentando tendência decrescente desde 1995. Essa redução poderia ser devida à ação de controle da tuberculose no município, à subdetecção de casos ou à subnotificação. Para avaliar a existência de subnotificação e resgatar os casos não notificados, foi feita a comparação entre os casos informados ao Sistema Nacional de Agravos de Notificação e os anotados no livro de registros das unidades de saúde com programa de controle de tuberculose, no período entre 2000 e 2002, no município de Fortaleza. Cinqüenta e oito unidades de saúde notificaram 5.206 casos, sendo que 4.743 (91,1%) foram informados por aquelas com PCT. Resgataram-se 962 casos, em média, 320 casos por ano, o que representa 18,5% do total de notificações. Diante dessa proporção de casos subnotificados, sugere-se que seja feita a revisão dos fluxos de notificação e a conferência dos casos notificados com os atendidos regularmente.

Objective: To describe the mortality from external causes in Fortaleza (Brazil), including homicides, suicides, falls and traffic violence. Methods: A descriptive study about the mortality of residents in Fortaleza, in which 105,000 deaths occurring in the period of 1999 to 2007 were evaluated. The deaths were registered and available in the Mortality Information System (SIM) of the Municipal Health Secretariat (SMS). Death distribution by year of occurrence and gender were compared. To measure the population’s growth and the increase of deaths and of mortality rates in time we used linear regression. The correlations with coefficients of determination equal or above 70% (R2 ? 0.70) were considered significant. Results: It was found that, for the entire period, deaths from all external causes showed to be higher in men than in women, either in attacks or in traffic accidents or in cases of selfinflicted injuries. In the period, deaths from external causes presented a growth with level of significance above 70%, at a rate of 49.5 deaths per year, reaching 1.774 deaths in 2007 (R2 = 0.74). Regarding the absolute numbers of deaths, growth occurred at the expense of increase of homicides and suicides in men (R2 ? 0.73) and not in women (R2 ? 0.56) and was not observed in mortality rates, indicating a correlation with population growth. Conclusion: By the study of trends in mortality rates, there are signs, albeit weak, of a trend to the reduction of deaths from external causes, which, probably, is reflecting the gains achieved by the efforts of resources mobilization and the organization of society against violence.
