Dengue is an arbovirus considered a growing problem in relation to public health worldwide. With this, the objective of this work is to describe, in a retrospective and analytical way, the epidemiological profile and the spatial distribution of dengue cases in the state of Maranhão between the years 2010 to 2020. This quantitative and retrospective study used secondary data provided by the State Department of Health (SES-MA) of confirmed and notified cases of the disease in a time frame between 2010 and 2020. In addition, geoprocessing techniques were also used to spatialize the data. The results indicate that there were oscillations in relation to confirmed and reported cases throughout this period in the state, especially in the north and southwest regions. Thus, Maranhão reveals a critical state in relation to the occurrence of the disease, which is possibly associated with environmental factors, infrastructure and lack of public policies related to basic sanitation.
