Abstract
This scientific paper aims to carry out an epidemiological study on leptospirosis in the South of Brazil from 2018 to 2022. The study followed the methodology of a quantitative and descriptive study, using the platform of the Information and Notifiable Diseases System (SINAN), selecting the criteria of race, year of notification, gender and age group for data analysis. From the data collected, it can be seen that the region of Rio Grande do Sul recorded 1,849 cases of leptospirosis in the time frame of the study, thus having the highest number of leptospirosis cases in South of Brazil, in addition to being able to observe that factors related to the profile of the economically active population in the region affect the epidemiological profile of individuals affected by the pathology. Therefore, it is possible to trace the profile of the population susceptible to the pathology, made up of males aged between 20 and 59 who are white. It is also possible to see that leptospirosis is still a public health issue in the South of Brazil and that there is a need for measures by health bodies to tackle this disease in this macro-region of the country.
