Objective: to determine the tendency of leprosy in children under 15 years old according to new cases of the disease by region of Brazil in the time frame from 2007 to 2017. Materials and Methods: the research was a descriptive, transversal and quantitative analysis of the cases registered in the Disclosure and Notification Information System, where the entire analysis was carried out with a significance level of 5%. Results: the trend of leprosy in the five Brazilian regions was decreasing and the general APC was equal to -0.007 (95% CI -0.009; -0.005), the North region had the highest rates of detection of the disease and the South showed the lowest values. Conclusion: although leprosy has regressed over the years, it still remains a major public health problem, since its detection rate is hyper-endemic in some regions.
