SUMMARYThe first epidemic of sporotrichosis in humans as a result of zoonotic transmission was identified in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1998. A cross-sectional study was conducted applying questionnaires to patients seen in 2002 at Evandro Chagas Clinical Research Institute, Fiocruz, with a confirmed diagnosis of sporotrichsosis. A total of 73 dwellings were studied, where 255 individuals, including 94 patients and 161 healthy household contacts, lived with 133 cats with sporotrichosis. Most dwellings were houses with 83% having complete basic sanitation. Among patients, there was a predominance of women with a median age of 41 years who were engaged in domestic activities. These women contracted the disease twice more often than men. The prevalence of sporotrichosis was four times higher among patients caring for animals, irrespective of gender. In the current epidemic of sporotrichosis, taking care of sick cats was the main factor associated with transmission of the disease to humans.

Abstract This paper discusses the health risks perception in the surrounding from the construction areas of a Petrochemical Complex. The study aimed to determine the factors that lead to the health risks perception of the process of construction of the Petrochemical Complex of Rio de Janeiro. Cross-sectional study conducted with 240 individuals in Brazil’s southeast region. It was found that female adult individuals with a high level of schooling and residing in the surrounding of the Complex are capable of perceiving better the health risks and few benefits resulting from the process of construction of this development than the group of residents in the area that is farther from the industrial zone. These results show the need of contextualized risks communication actions are applied to address this critical knowledge gap of the studied communities.
