Leptospirosis is one of the waterborne diseases that strongly concern the health in Brazil. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to identify, analyze, and describe the socioeconomic, environmental, and climatic factors that can be directly related to the increase of the leptospirosis cases. In addition, the present study carried out a temporal and spatial analysis to demonstrate the relationship between publications and cases-deaths in Brazil. By searching the databases of the CAPES and LILACS, we selected 43 papers that dealt with leptospirosis and flood in Brazil. Most of the evaluated papers related the occurrence of extreme hydrological events to the increase in the number of cases of leptospirosis. The others focused other factors such as waste accumulation, lack of urban drainage, working services, and so on. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
