Leprosy is a disease that is a serious public health problem worldwide, in Brazil and Mato Grosso, where it is endemic. The treatment of leprosy is accomplished through Multidrug therapy proposed by the Word Health Organization (WHO/MDT) and it is offered free of charge in units of the Unified Health System. Chemotherapy can cause adverse drug that can interfere with treatment effects. There are few studies on the medicinal effects of the component drugs of WHO / MDT. Objective - Characterize patients on multidrug therapy for leprosy regarding sociodemographic characteristics, frequency of adverse effects and completeness of completing their medical records in health services Cuiabá (MT), 2013. Method - Study of descriptive and cross-sectional approach. Data collection was performed on medical records of all patients in active treatment for leprosy in use of WHO / MDT in the city of Cuiabá during the months from June to August 2013. Results - 275 patients were studied in leprosy treatment in the city of Cuiabá during the study period, with 160 (58.2%) males and 115 (41.8%) females, with a higher frequency of 209 adults (76%) than elderly 66 (24%), of 226 multibacillary (82.2%) than paucibacillary 48 (17.5%) and one patient (0.3%) did not have its operational classification in the medical record . The borderline clinical form was recorded in 130 (47.3%) of the charts, followed by 52 (18.9%) Lepromatous, 35 (12.7%) Tuberculoid, 15 (5.5%) and Unspecified 43 (15.6%) whose clinical presentation was not available in the medical records. Literature and national indicators of leprosy corroborated all these frequencies. The presence of adverse effects was recorded in 31 (11.3%) of the medical records, less than studies that address this subject. None of the medical records submitted completeness of records, even as compulsory information. The high frequency of medical records with incomplete data, even considering only the compulsory information, precluded more in-depth statistical analyzes, such as checking for associations between variables. Conclusion - The data show that the charts of patients treated for leprosy in Cuiabá, in their majority, are incomplete, even considering the variables of compulsory records and that the demographic profile of the population in leprosy treatment is similar to that described in the literature.
