A total of 125 positive cases were confirmed in 2016 and 70 cases in 2017, the profile of those infected in the year 2016 was 59% female (F) and 41% Male (M) in 2017 56% M and 44% F.

The municipalities with the highest indexes in 2016 are Joaquim Gomes, Novo Lino and Campo Grande, 30, 15 and 12 and in 2017 Maceió, Campo Grande and Traipu, 22, 14 and 5 respectively. Total of 50 cases in the urban area and 63 in the rural and 12 in the ignored places, 2017 presented 37 cases in the urban, 23 in the rural and 10 in ignored sites. Socioeconomic characteristics leave Alagoas in high risk, water intended for consumption or general use is not treated, households do not have basic sanitation. It is important to use preventive measures in controlling environmental and educational risk factors to reduce the number of cases.
