SUMMARY:

 

Brazil is the country in the American continent that has the most reports of positive cases of Hantavirus, Santa Catarina being the state with the highest number of notifications according to the latest survey carried out by the Ministry of Health. Therefore, an in-depth study is necessary to understand these numbers and seek solutions. The objective of this research is to know the epidemiological characteristics and to identify the factors associated with the occurrence of death from Hantavirus in Santa Catarina based on the database of the Ministry of Health. They were analyzed as constant notifications in the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN). The population of this research were all positive cases of Hantavirus reported from 2009 to 2019 in the state of Santa Catarina. These data were visible from a descriptive case series study. Variables were analyzed: sociodemographic, epidemiological background, clinical data, therapeutic procedures, opportunity for care and evolution. For the retrospective longitudinal study, the analysis of median, mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variance and interval was applied using the Symbolab software. As a result, the study found that the profile of this Hantavirose patient in Santa Catarina is male, of working age, low educational level, living in a rural area. The highest occurrence of cases is located in the West, Midwest and Mountain rage regions, directly associated with agricultural profile activities. Its lethality rate is high in patients aged 15 to 19, regardless of the area of residence. Clinical symptoms that appear respiratory, increased hematocrits, use of mechanical modalities and secondary infiltrated pulmonary X-ray a major risk factor for death. Patients who sought care in the first days of symptoms had a higher lethality rate, which may be associated with difficulty in the differential diagnosis for other viral diseases with similar symptoms, hindering proper clinical management. Regions with higher reporting rates showed lower lethality rates, signaling the sensitivity of clinical and epidemiological surveillance of cases in these locations and the importance of this factor in decreasing lethality. Studies using the database of the Ministry of Health are indispensable in the adoption of public health strategies that allow better control and surveillance of this disease in the clinical and environmental areas, promoting a decrease in lethality.
