| dc.description | Being distant from Brazil’s great natural diversity, from its long tradition in the study of
snakebites and from the fact that it is one of the few countries which has a national
information system for monitoring incidents involving venomous animals, non-Brazilian
researchers face risks when estimating the incidence of these accidents in the country. The
present work offers a critical review of the main estimates undertaken since 1954. It is
interesting to note contradictions between textual and graphic information within the same
article, variations over time in the work of a same researcher and differences among distinct
authors, and that all these issues remain unmentioned or undiscussed. Comparison among
such estimates and the data available at the Brazilian Information System on Diseases of
Compulsory Declaration (Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação – SINAN)
creates an opportunity to identify the degree of imprecision present in those articles, and
draws attention to the need for the production of studies at both the regional and national
levels, based on concrete data collected at national, state and municipal levels, which has
been available on the internet since 2001. | |
