Abstract
American Tegumentary Leishmaniasis (ATL) is a disease caused by protozoa of the genus Leishmania, transmitted to humans through the bite of female sand flies. In Brazil, there are currently 6 species of Leishmania responsible for the human disease, and more than 200 species of sandflies implicated in its transmission. Due to morphoclimatic and socioeconomic factors, Brazil is one of the areas with the highest incidence of this pathology, especially in the Amazon region, being responsible for more than a third of all occurrences of this disease globally. To analyze the epidemiological profile of American Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in the Pre-Amazon region of Maranhão, determining the pattern of this endemic and evaluating the factors that favor the proliferation of ATL. This is a retrospective, descriptive and observational study of na ecological analytical type based on data available on the DataSUS platform, through the use and treatment of data obtained by the Microregion filter by municipality, ethnicity, age group, level of education and clinical form presentation of the condition.
