ABSTRACT:
The study analyzes the evolution of epidemiological indicators of leprosy in Brazil between 2015 and 2022, using data from SINAN. There was a reduction in the detection of new cases, especially in children under 15 years of age, indicating advances in controlling transmission. However, the proportion of cases with grade 2 physical disability increased, evidencing failures in early diagnosis. The COVID-19 pandemic impacted case reporting in 2020. The National Strategy for Combating Leprosy 2023–2030 proposes targets to reduce transmission and disabilities, but additional efforts are needed to achieve these goals.
