The evaluation of the health conditions in two “goldwashers” communities in the Amazon region, goldmines of São Chico and Creporizinho, it was verified the prevalence of clinical and neurological symptoms and the parasitic occurrence of infectious illness, associate to the concentration of total mercury in the urine of the “goldwashers”. At the São Chico, 104 “goldwashers” were investigated, while as Creporizinho 169, it was used the socio economic, epidemiological and laboratorial condition as diagnostic methodologycal and it was used sentable statistical tests for significance verification. The results demonstrated that the average of the metal in “goldwashers” urine of Sao Chico is superior to those of Creporizinho 9.29 μg creatinina Hg/g and 5.64 μg creatinina Hg/g, respectively. Where the distribution of Hg in urine of the São Chico and of the Creporizinho population, below 93% - 96% of the IBMP and above 7%-4%, respectively. There is predominance of the masculine sex in both miners and the occurrence of STD’s in the two goldminers, whose sequence was identical, where the intestinal parasitism and malaria are themost prevalent, however both are below of the IBMP. The clinical evaluation of São Chico presents prevalence of to osteomuscular, dermatological and digestive 32%, 30% and 23% symptoms, respectively. While in the Creporizinho occurred change in the sequence to osteomuscular, digestive and dermatological 51%, 44% and 39%, respectively. Amongst the most prevalent neurological symptoms the tremors, parestesias and chronic headache were present in the group of São Chico and Creporizinho the following sequence, respectively, 38% - 58%, 32% - 53% and 28% - 48%. The health conditions are more precarious in São Chico miner, than Creporizinho however the “goldwashers” are occupationally injured in the two studied populations, nevertheless there are not safe parameters to affirm the presence of the chronic mercurial illness, taking into consideration the variable analyzed in this study.
