Abstract
Objective: Carry out a survey of mortality data in Brazil as a result of: schistosomosis, dengue, Chagas (DC) disease, leishmaniosis and confronting them with epidemiological and socio-economic aspects. Method: A retrospective and descriptive study, taking into account the period from 2008 to 2017, has been drawn up on the basis of the consultation and interpretation of the data made available in the Mortality Information System (SIM) and DATASUS/TABNET in terms of mortality for the 04 infectious parasitic diseases already mentioned. The variables have also been measured: age, sex, degree of education, state and municipality of individuals, in addition to splitting the period into two five-years tabulation and statistical analysis were carried out in Microsoft Excel ® and Minitab version XVIII ®. Results: DC accounted for 80.3 % of the total number of deaths for the four assessed molecules. In the south-eastern region, deaths were greater for DC and dengue, while in the north-east, schistosomosis and leishmanioses prevailed. Conclusion: the DoC reported the highest number of deaths, for the four molecules investigated, and even if the reporting of new cases would decrease, this failure still has a major impact mainly on the poorest populations, over 40 years old and with low education.
