Resumo: Objective: to evaluate the epidemiological profile of leprosy in the North and Northeast regions of Brazil between the years 2015 and 2018. Methodology: this is a descriptive, retrospective epidemiological research with a quantitative approach. The data show the epidemiological characterization regarding sex, age group and operational classification of confirmed cases of leprosy in the North and Northeast regions of Brazil between the years 2015 and 2018. Results: the evaluation of the epidemiological data showed a total of 63,051 diagnosed cases of leprosy in the North and Northeast regions in the analyzed period. When investigating the profile of confirmed leprosy cases, it was observed that 56% occurred in males, the age group most affected was 35 to 49 years, equivalent to 28% of cases, followed by individuals aged 50 to 64 years (25 %) and 20 to 34 years old (20%) and the most incident operational classification was the multibacillary (74%). Conclusion: the findings reflect the need for continuous training of health professionals who provide assistance to patients with leprosy and the strengthening of surveillance and epidemiological control actions.

Metodología: esta es una investigación epidemiológica descriptiva, retrospectiva con un enfoque cuantitativo. Los datos muestran la caracterización epidemiológica con respecto al sexo, el grupo de edad y la clasificación operativa de los casos confirmados de lepra en las regiones del norte y noreste de Brasil entre los años 2015 y 2018. Resultados: la evaluación de los datos epidemiológicos mostró un total de 63.051 casos diagnosticados de lepra en las regiones norte y noreste en el período analizado. Al investigar el perfil de casos confirmados de lepra, se observó que el 56% ocurría en hombres, el grupo de edad más afectado fue de 35 a 49 años, equivalente al 28% de los casos, seguido por individuos de 50 a 64 años (25 %) y de 20 a 34 años (20%) y la clasificación operativa más incidental fue la multibacilar (74%). Conclusión: los resultados reflejan la necesidad de capacitación continua de profesionales de la salud que brindan asistencia a pacientes con lepra y el fortalecimiento de las acciones de vigilancia y control epidemiológico.Objetivo: avaliar o perfil epidemiológico da hanseníase nas regiões Norte e Nordeste do Brasil entre os anos de 2015 e 2018.
