SUMMARY:
Venomous accidents are a public health problem in the state of Rio Grande do Norte,
Brazil. The high incidence of cases reveals the importance of studies to determine the
diversity epidemiological profile and the spatial distribution of these accidents. This is a
retrospective study that describes and analyzes the cases of venomous accidents in the
city of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Northeast Brazil, from 2007 to 2018. Data from the
Information System database of Notifiable Diseases (SINAN) were obtained from the
Secretary of Health of Rio Grande do Norte. 31,368 accidents due to scorpion bites were
reported, more frequently in urban areas, whose Human Development Index is low. The
cases occurred predominantly in hot and humid regions, mainly affecting women aged 30
to 60 years. Most individuals sought medical attention within three hours of the incident.
The severity and mortality of the injured individuals varied according to the area of
occurrence, age of the patient, and the local and systemic symptoms presented. Therefore,
accidents by scorpions, bee, snake and other venomous animals in the city of Natal is an
environmental and public health problem, with a significant growth trend (p <0.05).
Through the data collected on the spatial distribution and risks, this approach allows the
creation of effective control strategies to prevent accidents.
