The Schistosomiasis (MS) is a parasitic infection with a wide geographic distribution that cause important economic and public health implications. This grievance is installed in Brazil since colonial times and remains in all geographic regions, particularly in the northeastern of Brazil. This report shows to be a quantitative, descriptive observational epidemiological research approach across the board, created by active search of secondary data on the prevalence of MS in the state of Maranhão and its regional health from 2007 to 2011, based on data Historic cases reported to the Information System of the Schistosomiasis Control Program and the National Disease Notification Service. The results showed that MS is declining in Brazil, from where 2007 to 2011; most of these are concentrated in the Southeast, with xxx the study period, followed by the Northeast with xxx cases. However, in the northeast is that MS stands for stability and the southern region where there is the lowest recorded levels. The state of Maranhão accumulated more cases of MS in this period than the north, south and center-west regions. We observed two pieces of information regarding the total number of cases in the Maranhão according to base consulted, with 18,884 cases reported by SISPCE \ SINAN and 317,661 by the PCE. In this state the picture remains, but with a tendency to decline as well, focusing on cases of Maranhão marshland region. Among its 19 regional health in 15 case reports were made, predominantly in the eastern St. Louis (129,999), Bacabal (67,735), total years studied. Empress was no increase in the number of cases of 1.63 in 2009 to 10.99 in 2011, which was attributed to the acceleration of, especially migratory sociodemographic and health problems. The analysis shows that the parasitic load Maranhao remains low to medium endemicity in most cases eliminating from 1 to 4 eggs/g of faeces. Thus, this study shows that MS whilst under control in Brazil, Northeast and Maranhão, needs to be better controlled, which depends directly improving the structural conditions of life of its inhabitants.
