Resumo: dc.description.abstractLeprosy is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae. In 2016, there were more than 210,000 new cases of this pathology registered worldwide, with Brazil, in the Americas, largely responsible for this significant portion of diagnoses. Among the Brazilian states, Tocantins is the most hyperendemic state in the northern region. Despite the intensification of combat campaigns in recent years, this disease still persists as a public health problem. This study aims to analyze the number of new cases of leprosy from 2017 to 2021 in the municipality of Araguaína-TO. Data were obtained through the Notifiable Diseases Information System - SINAN, annual leprosy data were collected, together with searches in databases such as Medical Literature Online - MEDLINE and Scientific Electronic Library Online - SciELO. Information regarding an interval of 5 years was analyzed, and 728 notifications were found, among which there were new diagnoses between the age group from 0 to 14 years, which indicates an active transmission of this pathology, since new diagnoses in children under 15 years signal recent outbreaks of human-to-human transmission. From the data obtained, the importance of implementing more effective measures to control leprosy can be observed, since the municipality still has high diagnostic rates for this disease. Basic hygiene and sanitation measures are forms of health promotion that must be vigorously encouraged. In addition, it is important to observe the downward trend in these cases in the years that will follow the end of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, so that it is possible to elucidate with greater certainty the reason for this decline in diagnoses.pt_BR
