- Abstract
To analyze areas of spatial risk for the occurrence of leprosy in a city in São Paulo. Ecological study of leprosy cases registered in a Health Information System, from 2006 to 2016. Descriptive analysis and the application of Kernel density statistics were used. 85 leprosy cases were identified, with a predominance in males; age group equal to or greater than 51 years; White breed; complete or incomplete elementary school and dimorphic clinical form. 75 cases were geocoded. In the Kernel analysis, a heterogeneous spatial distribution of the disease was observed, with concentrations of cases in the northern, eastern and small areas in the southern region of the municipality. This study showed the disease in population groups with low income, low education and in situations of poverty, thus translating the need to develop public policies that can envision new strategies for the control of leprosy.
