Abstract

Objective: The study’s main goal has been to describe the occurrence of accidents and deaths caused by venomous animals in the Southeast region of Brazil. Methods: It is an epidemiological, ecological and analytical study. The SINAN Net [Information System of Aggravation Notification] was used for looking for accidents and deaths occurring over the period from 2005 to 2015. Furthermore, descriptive analyzes were performed and followed by a bivariate analysis aiming to compare the averages between States in the Southeast region (p<0.05). Results: A total of 471,403 accidents and 684 deaths caused by venomous animals in the Southeast region were found, with most accidents recorded in 2014 (58,544) and deaths in 2015 (99). There was a higher average of accidents and deaths by scorpion: 5,694.14 and 7.45. The State of Minas Gerais concentrated the largest number of accidents and deaths when compared to other States (p<0.05). Conclusion: A elevated frequency of accidents and deaths caused by venomous animals was verified, then delineating a worrisome reality that must be effectively managed.
