Abstract: Leprosy is an infectious, compulsorily notifiable, slow-evolving disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae, which manifests itself most often through dermatoneurological signs and symptoms. The present study aims to analyze the profile of leprosy in the state of Rondônia and understand the distribution of the disease in the state from 2015 to 2020. The study is descriptive, cross-sectional, quantitative and retrospective, where data collection was carried out in the DATASUS government domain, the sample was limited between the years 2015 to 2020 in the state of Rondônia and simple tabulation was carried out using Microsoft Excel® software. The state presented a total of 3638 cases between 2015 and 2020. Males represented 57.5% of those infected. The age group with the highest incidence (22.6%) was 40 to 49 years old and low education was observed with greater predominance among confirmed cases. The dimorphic form represented 61.1% of cases, especially 58.9% of cases were classified as disability level zero. The prevalence coefficient was classified as average within the period studied. Given the data presented, it is necessary to develop policies aimed at the population affected by the disease, promoting better social, cultural and economic conditions through the integration of health teams and surveillance actions.
