Material and methods: From the data gathered by the Unified System of Epidemiologic Vigilance of the Guanajuato State Health Ministry, a descriptive, retrospective and observational, study was carried out during the 2000-2005 period, from which the incidence rate per municipality and an epidemiologic map were obtained. Results: During the years 2000-2005 a total of 149,068 cases were reported with an average rate of 500.9 per 100,000 inhabitants; the 15 to 44 year-old group was the most affected; the months with the highest incidence were from April to June. The 15 municipalities with the highest incidence rates (500.9 – 1991.6) during this period were located in the southeast, and the low incidence zones (1.4) in the northeast ofthe state. Conclusions: The municipalities with the highest incidence rates require greater efforts and actions to diminish the morbidity in these areas, with a primary attention program directed to solve this serious public health problem. |

Introducción: El registro de picados por alacrán en el Estado de Guanajuato durante el periodo 2000 – 2005 rebasó en promedio los 24 000 casos por año, con una mortalidad promedio de 3 personas; afectando a núcleos de población, tanto del medio rural como urbano. A muchos años de haberse detectado la problemática, todavía se desconocen con precisión los aspectos epidemiológicos básicos de este fenómeno en el Estado. Material y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo, observacional y descriptivo de los años 2000 a 2005 de los datos recabados por el Sistema Único Automatizado de Vigilancia Epidemiológica de la Secretaría de Salud del Estado de Guanajuato, obteniéndose la tasa de incidencia por municipio y el mapa epidemiológico del Estado. Resultados: Durante el periodo del 2000 al 2005 se reportaron un total de 149 068 picados por alacrán, con una tasa de incidencia de 500,9 por 100 000 hab. ; el principal grupo de edad afectado fue de 15 a 44 años, y los meses con mayor incidencia fueron abril, mayo y junio. Los 15 municipios con mayores tasas de incidencia (de 500,9 a 1991,6 /100 000 hab.) durante este periodo se localizaron en el suroeste y sureste y las zonas de baja incidencia (1,4/100 000 hab.) en el noreste del estado. Conclusiones: Los municipios con tasas de incidencia más altas requieren mayores esfuerzos y acciones tendientes a disminuir la morbilidad en estas áreas, por lo que las medidas de atención primaria deberán estar encaminadas a resolver este gran problema de salud pública.
