Bartonella bacilliformis is a facultative, intracellular, aerobic, Gram-negative coccobacillus causing the so-called Carrión's disease, a human infection endemic to specific areas mainly inhabited by low-income communities of Peru but also present in other Andean communities. It is considered a truly neglected tropical disease and is transmitted through the bite of female sandflies of the genus Lutzomyia [1]. Carrión's disease has two different clinical presentations; an initial febrile and haemolytic anaemia phase, known as Oroya fever, which has a mortality rate ranging from 44% to 88% in untreated patients; and a second phase characterised by the development of dermal eruptions known as Peruvian wart [1,2]. / The study was supported by internal funds from the Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas (Lima, Peru); by a grant from the Instituto de Salud Carlos III, Spain [PI11/00983], which included FEDER funds; by the UBS Optimus Foundation; and by Generalitat de Catalunya, Departament d’Universitats, Recerca i Societat de la Informació [2014 SGR 26]. MJP has received a postdoctoral fellowship from CONCYTEC/FONDECYT. JR has received a fellowship from the program I3 of the ISCIII [grant no. CES11/012]. / Revisión por pares

Descreve-se e avalia-se a situação da endemia da hanseníase no Município de São Paulo no biênio 1976/1977, caracterizando-a como problema de saúde pública, através da apresentação e discussão dos coeficientes de prevalência e de incidência, por local de residência nos diversos distritos e subdistritos e nas Zonas \"Central\", \"Intermediária\" e \"Periférica\" do Município. Os recursos sanitários existentes são descritos e avaliados segundo os mesmos critérios de localização, tentando-se relacionar sua distribuição com a dos índices endêmicos verificados. / The situation of endemic Hansen\'s disease in São Paulo County (Brazil), during the years 1976/1977, is described and analysed and is characterized as a public health problem through the presentation and discussion of prevalence and incidence rates according to local of housing in the different districts and subdistricts of the city, as well as in the \"Central\", \"Intermediary\" and \"Peripheric\" zones of the county. The specific medical resources available are described and evaluated according to the same criteria. An attempt was made in order to relate the distribution of the resources with the distribution of the endemic rates found.
