- Abstract
Objectives: Describe the epidemiological aspects of schoolchildren in the public education system, aged five to fourteen years, who participated in the National Leprosy Campaign in 2016. Methods: Cross-sectional study with data from schoolchildren aged five to fourteen years, from Sobral, Ceará. Pearson's Chi-square association test and the Voronoi diagram associated with the linear distance and proximity matrix were used. Results: 1.216 students were included, of which 18.1% had cases of leprosy in the family, 31.7% had cases without leprosy, 19.4% reported some case of leprosy in the family. Of the 386 schoolchildren who relate to the body, 41.3% are male and 34.8% live in the urban area. Conclusion: There was a prevalence of spots in male students living in the urban area, with a minimum spatial distance (up to 10 km) of students with spots for cases with leprosy in the family.
