Durante el periodo 2003-2012 se analizó, temporal y geográficamente, el envenenamiento por mordedura de serpiente en el estado de Veracruz. Se recabaron registros durante este tiempo y se calculó la tasa anual de incidentes, con la finalidad de analizar su distribución espacio-temporal. Adicionalmente, se estimó la tasa suavizada para cada municipio. La tendencia de la tasa de mordeduras fluctuó, pero se mantuvo constante, lo que sugiere que es necesario desarrollar mejores estrategias de prevención para minimizar este fenómeno. Los municipios con mayor tasa suavizada están ubicados en la región norte del estado.
Through the period 2003-2012, a temporal and geographical analysis was performed to characterize the snakebite envenoming in the state of Veracruz. Bite records were obtained during this decade and the incidence rate per year was estimated in order to evaluate its spatial and temporal distribution. Furthermore, a smoothed rate of snakebites was calculated per municipality. Snakebite rates have remained constant over time, in spite of fluctuations, which suggest that better prevention strategies are necessary to reduce this phenomenon. Municipalities with the highest smoothed rate are located in the northern portion of the state. (Gac Med Mex. 2014;150 Suppl 1:60-4) Corresponding author: Carlos Yañez-Arenas, lichoso@gmail.com
