Se realizó un estudio ecológico sobre los casos confirmados de leptospirosis humana reportados al Sistema de Vigilancia del Departamento de Salud de Puerto Rico entre 1996 y 2014. El propósito principal fue evaluar la distribución espacial de la ocurrencia de leptospirosis humana y asociar dicha distribución con determinados factores ambientales, climatológicos y demográficos socioeconómicos mediante el uso de los Sistemas de Información Geográfica y modelos de regresión de Poisson. Se observó que los habitantes ubicados en lugares con alta precipitación promedio anual (1,882 - 2,726 mm) tuvieron 65 % (IRR = 1.65; IC 95 %: 1.32, 2.08) exceso de riesgo de leptospirosis que aquellos que no se expusieron. Además, los datos sugirieron que los casos de leptospirosis se agruparon espacialmente mostrándose los puntos calientes al centro oeste de Puerto Rico.References
