在巴西，可报告的疾病由巴西联邦卫生部卫生监督秘书处负责。在2001-2006年期间，为了确定发病率和住院率，我们分析了巴西亚马逊地区流行的5种疾病（疟疾、利什曼病[皮肤和内脏]、登革热、麻风病和结核病）。数据来自3个地区的773个城市。尽管疟疾、利什曼病、结核病和麻风病的发病率正在下降，但正规教育不足的社会经济地位较低的人比该地区其他人口群体更容易受到这些疾病和其他健康不平等的影响。
In Brazil, reportable diseases are the responsibility of the Secretariat of Health Surveillance of the Brazilian Federal Ministry of Health. During 2001-2006, to determine incidence and hospitalization rates, we analyzed 5 diseases (malaria, leishmaniasis [cutaneous and visceral], dengue fever, leprosy, and tuberculosis) that are endemic to the Amazon region of Brazil. Data were obtained from 773 municipalities in 3 regions. Although incidence rates of malaria, leishmaniasis, tuberculosis, and leprosy are decreasing, persons in lower socioeconomic classes with insufficient formal education are affected more by these diseases and other health inequalities than are other population groups in the region.
