Methods: It is, therefore, an ecological and retrospective study, with a quantitative approach, with public domain data from the IT department of the Unified Health System (DATASUS) on visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis in the state of Piauí. For data collection, the following variables were considered: sex, age, health region and race / ethnicity. Results: There were 1865 hospitalizations and 81 deaths due to Visceral Leishmaniasis, in addition to 308 hospitalizations and 07 deaths due to Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in the state, in the period from 2010 to 2020. After analysis, it was found that hospitalizations and deaths due to leishmaniasis in Entre Rios were spare parts, being more frequent at the beginning and end of life, especially in belonging to the male sex and browns. In this study, aspects related to the etiology, prophylaxis, therapy and control of the disease are discussed, as well as the factors that hinder the implementation of interventionist measures.
