Abstract
Viral hepatitis is a serious public health problem in the world and in Brazil. These are diseases of compulsory notification instituted by the Brazilian Ministry of Health (MS). The records of the affected persons should be made in the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN), which should notify all probable cases, confirmed and outbreaks. The objective of this work is to quantify the number of cases of hepatitis acquired in occupational accidents in Brazil between 2009 and 2018. It is a study is a retrospective observational quantitative analysis of the epidemiological data investigated. In this sense, research was carried out in the databases of the national portal DATASUS (https://datasus.saude.gov.br/). There is an effective contribution of accidents at work to the current incidence rates of viral hepatitis in Brazil, as well as to the reduction of the quality of life of workers – especially those of health. Inconsistencies between epidemiological data recorded in SINAN and studies in the literature may demonstrate the presence of underreporting. Due to the relative scarcity and contradiction of studies, there is no well-established profile for contamination in health services, and there is a need for further studies on the subject.
