Abstract

Objective: to analyze the profile of infectious diseases in riverside population relating it to the primary health care network. Method: epidemiological study, with data of infectious diseases notified/confirmed in the Notifiable Diseases Information System between 2013-2017 and the primary care network of the riverine region of Abaetetuba-Pará-Brazil. Descriptive analysis with Pearson’s Chi-square, p≤0.05. Results: 393 cases of Hansen´s disease, tuberculosis, Chagas disease, viral hepatitis, meningitis, visceral leishmaniasis, dengue and Chikungunya fever were recorded.
The most prevalent were Hansen´s disease and dengue. The primary care network includes 26 health posts with a reduced team and four teams of community health agents. Conclusion: health services are far from what is established in the National Primary Care Policy, which should value the epidemiological profile and the riverside way of life. The results may subsidize the planning and action in health/nursing.
