SUMMARY This study aimed at estimating the number of cases of non-negative serological reactions to Chagas disease in blood donors at the Blood Center of Botucatu, São Paulo, Brazil, from 2003 to 2010 and at relating them to their cities of origin. Five hundred and seventy-four non-negative results for Chagas disease were evaluated. Of these, 371 (64.8%) were reagent, and 203 (35.4%) were inconclusive. The prevalence of Chagas disease in blood donors was 0.05%. There were, on average, 72 cases/year, and a prevalence of males was observed (64.8%). Forty-three (7.49%) individuals were 18 to 30 years old; 92 (16.02%) were 31 to 40; 147 (25.61%) 41 to 50, and 292 (50.87%) were older than 50 years. It was observed that 29.3% of females with reagent serology were at their fertile age (18 and 45 years). The majority of donors were originally from cities in the southwestern and central regions of São Paulo, but individuals from other states contributed with 20%. The provenance of most donors was the city of Botucatu/SP, followed by the city of Taquarituba/SP. Therefore, the profile of donors at this blood center favors the occurrence of a larger number of non-negative serological reactions. Although there has been a significant reduction in the number of new cases/year for this disease, it is still a public-health problem, and results suggest the need for new epidemiological assessments in the studied region.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the allocation of financial resources in the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) in the state of São Paulo by level of care, health region, source of funds and level of government. METHODS: This is an exploratory study based on 2014 data extracted from the Public Health Budget Database, presented in absolute terms, relative terms and per capita. RESULTS: In 2014, R$52.1 bi were spent on public health, 58.0% having corresponded to the expenditures of the municipalities and 42.0% to those of the state government. Regional per capita spending varied from R$561.75 to R$824.85. As for the per capita spending on primary health care, which represented 37.5% of the municipalities’ total expenditure, the lowest value was found in the city of São Paulo and the highest, in Araçatuba. Campinas had the highest per capita expenditure on medium and high complexity care, while Presidente Prudente had the lowest. The highest regional percentage of the current net revenue spent on health was verified in Registro, and the lowest, in the city of São Paulo. CONCLUSIONS: The paradigm of the health sector’s financing in São Paulo revealed that the expenditure on primary health care, level elected by health policy as strategic because it depends on coordination and integral health care in the attention networks, was not considered a priority in relation to the expenditure with the medium and high complexity, exposing the iniquities in the state’s regions.

O artigo se baseia em pesquisa que apontou para novas formas de captação de recursos por meio da promoção de práticas culturais que se interligam à gestão de serviços públicos de saúde na Zona Leste da Cidade de São Paulo, sob a direção de organizações sociais privadas. O cruzamento entre modos de captação, gestão terceirizada da cultura e equipamentos de saúde aponta para uma intersetorialidade inédita dessas práticas, o que configura o que poderia ser identificado como um planejamento social privado, redesenhando formas de atuação e margens do Estado por meio de um conjunto de relações entre os programas sociais e a população em condições de pobreza na maior cidade brasileira. Os bairros da última periferia Leste da cidade de São Paulo conformam assim um terreno de experimentações dessas práticas cruzadas para além das caracterizações clássicas das zonas periféricas das grandes metrópoles brasileiras que apontavam para a precariedade das condições de vida bem como para o nascedouro de movimentos sociais, suas demandas, sujeitos e linguagens de direitos, tal como foram percebidos e enunciados a partir do final dos anos oitenta do século XX. Palavras-chave: políticas sociais; políticas públicas; privatização; periferias urbanas. Abstract: This article is based on research that pointed to new ways of raising funds through the promotion of cultural practices that are interconnected to the management of public health services in the Eastern Zone of the City of São Paulo, under the direction of private social organizations. The cross between fundraising, outsourced management of culture and health equipment points to an unprecedented relationship between the sectors of these practices, which sets up what can be identified as a private social planning. This process redrew the margins of the State redefining the relationship between social programs and policies and poor population in the largest Brazilian city. The peripheral neighborhoods of the Eastern outskirts São Paulo became an experimental field of these practices, more than classical character of precarious forms of life or the place of origin of social movements, demands, subjects, right languages, as they were known specially from the 80´s Brazilian sociological literature. Keywords: social policy; public policies; privatization; urban peripheries.

Toxoplasmosis is a highly prevalent zoonotic human infection caused by the Apicomplexa protozoon Toxoplasma gondii. The acute disease is usually mild or asymptomatic, except for foetal infection transmitted by acutely infected pregnant women, which courses as a devastating disease. In order to determine possible regional variations in risk factors, we studied the frequency of seronegativity in areas of the São Paulo Metropolitan Region, comparing liters and age groups. The prevalence of seronegativity was determined retrospectively in 1286 pregnant women receiving prenatal care at public health services in four selected areas of the São Paulo Metropolitan Region of similar socioeconomic background. The São Paulo City area had the higher frequency of seronegativity (41.1%), followed by the Northwest (31.5%) and Southwest (29.9%) areas, with similar intermediate levels, and by the Northeast (22.5%) area with the lowest frequency (p<0.001). A rough estimate disclosed about 280 infected infants/year in the São Paulo Metropolitan Region. Serological titers analyzed by age group suggested a decline in antibody levels with age, as shown by a lower frequency of higher titers in older groups. Our study emphasizes the importance of determining the regional prevalence of toxoplasmosis for proper planning of public health prenatal care.
