Abstract
Os autores procederam à investigação clínico-epidemiológica em 22 pacientes suspeitos de leishmaniose tegumentar nos municípios de Quilombo e Coronel Freitas, Oeste de Santa Catarina. Em 5 desses pacientes, foi realizada apenas a reação intradérmica deMontenegro; em 5, somente o raspado ou punção das lesões e, em 8, ambos os exames. Não foifeito nenhum exame laboratorial em 4 casos. Consideraram confirmado o caso suspeito que se enquadrasse em um ou mais dos seguintes itens: 1. raspado ou punção positiva; 2. reação intradérmica positiva + lesões clinicamente compatíveis; 3. lesões clinicamente compatíveis + resposta favorável ao tratamento específico, com cicatrização das lesões. Quatorze, dos 22 pacientes suspeitos, foram considerados casos confirmados, 11 dos quais autóctones da área, estabelecendo-se assim a existência de um foco da doença no Estado. Entre os casos autóctones, 5 tiveram o raspado/punção positivo. Todos os casos tinham idade acima de 15 anos e havia um nítido predomínio do sexo masculino.
A survey was performed among 22 patients with ulcers suspected of leishmanial origin in the municipalities of Quilombo and Coronel Freitas, west of Santa Catarina State. From 5 patients only smears from the ulcers were examined, 5 others were submitted to Montenegro's intradermal test and in 8 both methods were used. Cases were regarded as confirmed when: 1. parasites were found in the ulcer smears; 2. the lesions were clinically characteristic and the skin test was positive and 3. the clinically characteristic lesions healed after specific treatment. Fourteen patients were regarded as confirmed cases, 11 being autochthonous, showing that transmission of cutaneous leishmaniasis occurs in the State. Of the autochthonous cases 5 showed parasites in the skin smears. Most patients were males and all were older than 15 years of age.
