Abstract

Objective: to examine publications on Chagas disease in the State of Piauí, in order to provide a comprehensive and scientifically based view on this topic with the purpose of identifying the incidence and prevalence rates of the disease in the state. Method: this study was developed through a systematic review, which included original articles from primary studies in English, Spanish, e Portuguese and published in the last five years. Results: of the 12 articles analyzed, 6 studies were selected that met the eligibility criteria. Conclusion: Chagas Disease has high prevalence rates in the state of Piauí and there are few publications and epidemiological surveys that address the topic. There is a perceived need for more studies and dissemination of data to support the health system and the population in preventing and reducing the number of cases of the disease.
