摘要：

This cross-sectional study aimed to describe the spatial distribution of leprosy cases in Ribeirao Preto in 2004. The data collection was per-formed through compulsory notification records in the Epidemiological Surveillance Service of the Municipal Secretary of Health of Ribeirao Preto. The data were geo-coded through the MapInfo program version 7.8 in order to obtain the thematic map. From the 37 cases found, 62% were automatically coded, which revealed good compatibility between the database and the information in the cartographic base. The remaining 38% of the cases were geo-coded interactively. The thematic map analysis and the geo-referenced cases revealed a concentration of cases in the Northern region of the city traditionally characterized by poor neighborhoods.
