The aim of this work was to investigate the epidemiological aspects; gender, age group and criteria for confirming leptospirosis in humans in the state of Pará, from 2007 to 2019. A descriptive and exploratory study was carried out through an epidemiological retrospective of the prevalence of leptospirosis in the state of Pará. Data related to leptospirosis cases were obtained through the portal of the Information System for Notifiable Diseases online (SINAN Online), in the period from 2007 to 2019, in the State of Pará. The analysis of the cases was carried out using the number of notified cases, considering the variables: gender, age, education and confirmation criteria. Data were tabulated and organized in spreadsheets, with percentage data for each analysis being displayed. In this study, it was possible to identify that the year with the highest occurrence of cases was 2014 with a high number of confirmed cases. The most evident age group was males, aged between 20 and 39 years, with the criterion for clinical and laboratory confirmation being the most adopted.
