Acesso em:.https://bdm.ufpa.br/jspui/handle/prefix/6507Leptospirosis is an infectious disease transmitted mainly by the urine of animals, water puddles or mud contaminated by leptospira bacteria. It is considered a public health issue in Brazil and in several countries, due to the relationship with precarious sanitary aspects in urban regions, caused by lack of maintenance, investment in sanitation, urbanization, mainly for the poorest layer of society. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the epidemiological characteristics of cases of human leptospirosis that occurred in the State of Pará in the period from 2007 to 2017. Statistical analyzes were used: prevalence rate, hypothesis test and significance, as well as the test Pearson's chi-square, performed using Excel software. Among the variables analyzed in this study and the methodology used, considering the exposed (notified) population, we can state that the epidemiological profile of leptospirosis in the state of Pará during the period studied is characterized by a higher prevalence of the appearance of the first symptoms in the 1st semester of the year (21.29%); being predominant in males (25.92%), aged between 50 and 59 years (25.39%), people with complete or incomplete primary education (22.06%), people with contact with a place with rodent signs presents (34.88%), in the likely environment of infection at work (96.96%). Thus, it is possible to consider the analyzes generated by the work as an important tool for planning and managing information on the epidemiological situation in the State of Pará.Acesso AbertoEpidemiologiaLeptospiroseTeste de hipótesesTeste qui-quadrado de PearsonEpidemiologyLeptospirosisHypothesis testPearson's chi-square testCNPQ::CIENCIAS EXATAS E DA TERRATrabalho de Curso - Graduação - Monografia
