Abstract

 

Brazilian Spotted Fever (FMB) is an acute febrile zoonosis of variable severity, which generally develops in an endemic character, with worldwide distribution, caused by bacteria of the Rickettsiaceae family, called Rickettsia rickettsii, Rickettsia sp. Atlantic Forest strain and Rickettsia parkeri (1, 2, 3). The present study was designed with the aim of conducting a systematic review of the literature on the epidemiological aspects of Brazilian spotted fever, among empirical studies published in journals between 2010 and 2021, indexed in the databases of the search platforms LILICAS, PubMed, Google Scholar and SciELO. A total of 42 scientific articles cataloged in the period from 2010 to April 2021 were found. Of the works obtained, 17 are in PubMed, 4 in LILACS, 11 SciELO and 10 in Google Scholar. Following the exclusion criteria, 30 abstracts published before the year 2010 were excluded. 6 dissertations, 2 theses and 2 book chapters were also excluded. Among the 42 articles analyzed, 24 were published in English, 18 in Portuguese and none were published in Spanish. Thus, from this study it will be possible to adopt and update preventive measures against FMB, such as: dissemination of information, guiding health system professionals, , health education for at-risk population, guiding health surveillance actions and orientation of new guidelines for public policies, related to an important unique health problem, considering the environmental aspects, human health and the presence of animals, such as capybaras, among others, and also vectors, such as ticks.
