Prevalent in underdeveloped and developing countries, neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) affect the entire population, with greater occurrence in socially and economically disadvantaged groups of people. At the national level, the Northeast is one of the regions with the highest number of cases and deaths due to NTDs, and within the northeastern region, the state of Ceará is identified with high numbers of cases and deaths due to NTDs. , to the poverty scenario in which a large part of the population is inserted. The objective of this population-based ecological study was to fully estimate the mortality of selected NTDs (Chagas' disease, schistosomiasis, lymphatic filariasis, leprosy, American tegumentary leishmaniasis, visceral leishmaniasis, human rabies and trachoma) from 2000 to 2015 and analyze their spatial and temporal patterns and trends in the 184 municipalities of the state of Ceará. The study was divided into two analytical axes. In axis 1, the mortality rates and the overlapping of deaths by DTNs in the years 2005, 2010 and 2015 were analyzed, according to sociodemographic aspects, as well as the Social Vulnerability Index (IVS) for the years 2000 and 2010. In axis 2, the spatial and temporal patterns and trends of mortality by the NTDs selected throughout the historical series and the future projection in the period 2016-2020 were verified. In 2005, 116 deaths were recorded for NTDs, 151 in 2010 and 163 in 2015, evidencing the gradual increase in the number of deaths in several municipalities of Ceará, mainly due to the significant expression of mortality due to Chagas disease, leprosy, leishmaniasis visceral and tegumentary leishmaniasis. The increasing overlapping of deaths was also identified in the years chosen for baseline, with an increase, above all, in municipalities with deaths due to overlapping of 2 NTDs. Throughout the historical series, spatial-temporal maintenance of mortality rates in all macro-regions of the state was revealed, with a scenario for 2020 of few changes in the average number of deaths. Therefore, it is important to prioritize actions aimed at reducing mortality by NTDs in Ceará with the participation of health agencies at all levels.
