Abstract (English): Introduction: Synanthropic rodents of the genus Rattus are reservoirs of different zoonotic bacteria, such as Streptobacillus moniliformis and Spirillum minus. These are mainly transmitted by bites and can cause an infection called rat bite fever, which, if not treated quickly, can cause death. Given that currently the rat bite accident is not a mandatory notification event within the health system of the City of Buenos Aires, there is no record of it. Materials and methods: In order to obtain informa tion about the problem, a survey was carried out through an interview to investigate variables of perception and attitudes in relation to rat bites in slums of the City of Buenos Aires. Results: A total of 1053 surveys carried out between 2021 and 2023 were analysed. Of the people surveyed, 10 stated that they or a member of their family had been bitten by rats within the last 5 years. The 50% of those injured did not make any medical consultation after the bite. Likewise, of the total number of respondents, 79% consider a rat bite as a health problem, 94% would go to a health facility if they were bitten, and the percent age increases to 99% if the person bitten were a child. Discussion: It is suggested to develop information campaigns in relation to rodent control and the neces sary measures to prevent entry into homes, as well as for the prevention of diseases transmitted by them.

Abstract (Spanish): Introducción: Los roedores sinantrópicos del género Rattus son reservorios de diferentes bacterias zoonóticas, como Streptobacillus moniliformis y Spirillum minus. Estas se transmiten principalmente por mordeduras pudiendo causar una infección llamada fiebre por mordedura de rata, que, si no se trata rápidamente, puede provocar la muerte. Dado que actualmente el accidente por morde dura de rata no es un evento de notificación obligatoria dentro del sistema de salud de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, no se tiene registro del mismo. Materiales y métodos: Para poder obtener informa ción sobre la problemática, se llevó a cabo una encuesta a través de una entrevista para indagar variables de per cepción y actitudes en relación con la mordedura de ra tas en barrios vulnerables de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires. Resultados: Se analizaron 1053 encuestas realizadas entre los años 2021 y 2023. De las personas encuesta das, 10 manifestaron que ellas o algún integrante de su familia habían sido mordidos por ratas dentro de los últimos 5 años. El 50% de los lesionados no realizó consulta médica luego de la mordedura. Asimismo, del total de los encuestados el 79% considera a la mordedura de rata como un problema de salud, el 94% concurriría a un establecimiento de salud si fuera mordido y el por centaje se incrementa a 99% si el mordido fuera un niño. Discusión: Se sugiere desarrollar campañas infor mativas en relación con el control de roedores y las medidas necesarias para evitar el ingreso a los domi cilios, así como para la prevención de enfermedades transmitidas por éstos.
