Abstract

Objective: To describe the profile of exogenous pesticide poisoning notifications in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, from 2011 to 2018.

Methods: This was a descriptive study of data retrieved from the Notifiable Health Conditions Information System. Sociodemographic, clinical and pesticide-related variables were included and presented in absolute and relative frequencies.

Results: 3,122 suspected cases of exogenous pesticide poisoning were reported. The main toxic agent was pesticide for agricultural use (60%). Spraying (42%) and dilution (18%) proved to be the activities with greatest pesticide exposure. Most pesticide poisoning occurred at home (59%), and accidental contamination (40%) was the main cause of poisoning. Most poisoning was of the acute single kind (82%) and clinical evaluation (61%) was the criterion most used for diagnosis.

Conclusion: Most of records of exogenous pesticide poisoning in Rio Grande do Sul were related to its agricultural production model.

2011-2018年巴西南里奥格兰德州外源性农药中毒通知的特点。

目的:了解2011 - 2018年巴西南里奥格兰德州外源性农药中毒通报情况。方法:这是一项描述性研究，数据来自应通报健康状况信息系统。包括社会人口学、临床和农药相关变量，并以绝对频率和相对频率表示。结果:共报告外源性农药中毒疑似病例3122例。主要毒剂为农用农药(60%)。喷洒(42%)和稀释(18%)被证明是农药暴露最多的活动。大多数农药中毒发生在家中(59%)，意外污染(40%)是中毒的主要原因。以急性单一中毒为主(82%)，临床评价为诊断标准最多(61%)。结论:南里奥格兰德州外源农药中毒记录多与农业生产模式有关。
