Objective: to describe the epidemiological profile of cases of American tegumentary leishmaniasis (ATL) in the municipality of Altamira, Pará, from 2009 to 2019.
Methods: this is a cross-sectional, descriptive, retrospective study with a quantitative approach, using secondary data from confirmed cases of LTA, which occurred between the years 2010-2019, registered in the Information System of Notifiable Diseases (SINAN) and available on the website of the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System (DATASUS).
Results: 1,177 cases of ATL were reported in the municipality of Altamira between 2010 and 2019, with an average of 117.7 reported cases and an average incidence of 107.66 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. Male predominance (83.3%), aged between 20-39 years (51.8%) and self-declared brown (71.7%). As for the form, the cutaneous one was the most registered with 96% of the cases, and in 97% they evolved to cure.
Conclusions: ATL had a high incidence in Altamira in the analyzed period, thus characterizing it as a public health problem. Affecting, above all, males, browns and the age group from 20 to 39 years. being, therefore, intrinsically related to the work activities of this population, in addition to the environmental imbalance related to deforestation in rural areas. It is suggested the existence of peri- and intra-household transmission related to the involvement of children and the elderly. The spatial distribution of cases was not homogeneous, with a greater concentration in central areas of the municipality of altamira. It is important to emphasize that the incidence has a non-linear form, which is not due to the gradual increase in the number of cases, but to the increase in the population.
