摘要：
The objective of this study was to describe the trend of detection of the disease in Brazil from 1990 to 2016. The joinpoint regression model was used. There was a significant trend of decreased detection in the country (average annual percent change 1.8%) and in the South (average annual percent change = -3.5%) and Southeast regions (average annual percent change = -4.5%). The Northeast (average annual percent change = 0.2%), the Central-West (average annual percent change = -1.5%), and the North (average annual percent change= -2.6%) showed a stationary trend (p > 0.05). Eleven states showed a decreasing trend. Alagoas (average annual percent change = 2.1%) and Rio Grande do Norte (average annual percent change = 1.4%) presented significant increase (p < 0.001). The heterogeneous pattern of trend between regions and states shows that efforts are needed to eliminate the disease.
