Resumo

La leptospirosis es una enfermedad zoonótica causada por espiroquetas patógenas del género Leptospira. La bacteria es endémica en países con climas húmedos, tropicales y subtropicales; tiene una amplia variedad de reservorios y puede permanecer en el ambiente durante varias semanas. Con el objetivo de analizar los factores de riesgo asociados a la prevalencia de Leptospira spp. en humanos se realizó una revisión narrativa. La información analizada indica que el factor de riesgo más recurrente es el contacto con animales y sus secreciones, así como el contacto con agua y suelo contaminados; lo que se asocia con una mayor prevalencia de esta bacteria en los trabajadores de rastros, agricultores, médicos veterinarios y estudiantes de dicha carrera, personal de recolección de basura, así como empleados de los sistemas de alcantarillado. Son diversos los factores de riesgo asociados a la prevalencia de Leptospira spp. en humanos; sin embargo, los resultados de los estudios indican que la mayor prevalencia se ha observado en las regiones tropicales; dentro de los riesgos ocupacionales se encuentran todas las actividades que implican contacto con animales infectados o con agua y suelos contaminados por la excreción urinaria de animales infectados.
