| description | The snakebites represent a serious public health problem in Brazil, as well as in other countries of tropical region. The expansion and disordered growth of cities are leading in numerous impacts like loss of habitats, predation, lack of shelter and availability of resources. These impacts promote displacement of different faunal elements for urban areas and peri-urban areas, thus causing an increase in accidents caused by serpents. In Tocantins, there are few studies that assess the epidemiology of these accidents, which is necessary to establish an appropriate conduct for treatment of patients affected by serpents. This work aimed to evaluate the profile of accidents by snakes served in General Hospital of Palmas (GHP) -Tocantins, in the years 2010 and 2011, and list the possible difficulties in its treatment through analysis of data from SINAN and analysis of medical records of patients. In the years 2010 and 2011 were treated in 52 patients HGP victims of snake bites. These Snakebites occurred mostly in males, in rural areas, aged 20-49 years, with the majority of accidents caused by Bothrops. The occurrence of accidents with this group has been referred to in all the studies, national this is field activities in the vast majority being performed by men thus causing a high frequency of accidents with the group. So there is a need to promote actions with the residents of urban and rural areas. These measures can reduce their accident rates with snakes. |
