RESUMO:

Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) are a heterogeneous group of malignant hematological diseases of the lymphoid tissue, with increasing incidence. Most NHL still have an unknown cause, although infectious agents and occupational and environmental exposures have been implicated. The state of Bahia has a diversified economy, in which there may be a variety of exposures, making the State prone to the occurrence of NHL. In this sense, a research aimed to investigate the association between occupation and NHL among insured individuals from the National Institute of Social Security (NISS) in Bahia, in the period from 2014 to 2018, as well as describing their epidemiological profile and their spatial distribution in the state. This is a case control study based on a register of social security benefits granted in the State of Bahia, made available by the NISS. The study population was composed of 467 cases and 934 controls. A higher frequency of cases was observed among men and residents in the metropolitan mesoregion of Salvador (capital o the State). A positive association was evidenced mainly with occupations that involve contact with the public, which reinforced the possibility of an infectious etiology. Variation was also found in the geographic distribution of the NHL and its subtypes in the state. It is concluded that exposure to infectious agents must deserve care by the employers to promote prevention. The associations described with some geographical regions may indicate exposures in the agricultural activities. These findings deserve more detailed investigations
