Distribuição temporal da leptospirose nas macrorregiões brasileiras e sua relação com a pluviosidade

Abstract

The aim is to describe the temporal distribution of leptospirosis in macro-regions and your relationship with rainfall in the period from 2005 to 2014. This is a descriptive exploratory study, which used multivariate statistics to treat data service of cases of leptospirosis of Brazilian capitals obtained in SINAN, rainfall in INMET and socioeconomic and demographic, environmental obtained in the IBGE and Brazil Atlas.
