摘要：Objective: To analyze the epidemiological and sanitary situation of endemic areas for Schistosomiasis in Alagoas, from 2010 to 2017. Methodology: This is a mixed ecological study, descriptive and analytical, to the epidemiological indicators of Schistosomiasis and health aspects of Alagoas. Information was obtained from the available databases: Information System of the Schistosomiasis Surveillance and Control Program, Mortality Information System and demographic census of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics from the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System were consulted. The study area covered the Health Regions (I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII and VIII) inserted in the macro-regions of Maceió and Arapiraca. For statistical analysis, the joinpoint regression model was used to estimate the time trend of positivity rates over seven years. Results: Health Region V had the lowest positive rate in 2017. Health Regions IV and III had positive percentages above 10%. The time trend was significant for Health Regions IV, V, VI and VII. Positive cases in Health Region II had the lowest percentage of treaties in 2017. The parasitic load for all regions was relatively low. Deaths were more representative in Health Region IV. The sewage rates showed poor conditions in all locations. Conclusion: Although there is a visible reduction in positive cases, observing the effectiveness of control actions in endemic areas and improvements in the quality of life of the population, some regions show that the epidemiological situation of Schistosomiasis mansoni remains a serious public health problem in the state of Alagoas.
