- Abstract
The study aimed to carry out a survey of epidemiological data on the prevalence of infections by cysticercosis in human beings in the northeastern region of Brazil, in the year 2019. The study was made based on the data provided by SINAN-DATASUS, on the subject. The highest number of deaths was found in the state of Ceará. The deaths occurred mostly in male patients, aged 40 to 59 years, with no schooling years. It can be concluded that the persistence of the cases is linked not only to the penetration and magnitude of the disease, but to its neglect on the part of the health authorities and the lack of basic sanitation policies for the population.
