Abstract
Introduction: schistosomiasis is kept under epidemiolotical surveillance in some areas of Brazil.
Objective: to evaluate the epidemiological situation of schistosomiasis in the city of Belo Horizonte in Minas Gerais, Brazil, through epidemiological indicators.
Methods: a descriptive study was conducted by using the System of Information and Notification of Grievances (SINAN) that contains the cases occurred in the residents of Belo Horizonte in the period of January-2007 to July-2011. Four hundred ninety six lab confirmed cases of schistosomiasis(Kato-Katz technique) were recorded.
Results: in this period, there was a considerable increase of the number of cases in 2007 when the incidence was 1.96/100 000 habitants; the incidence was 7.29/100 000 habitants until July, 2011.
Conclusions: the increasing number of recent cases points to the need of developing new strategies to control this endemic disease in our region.
