Abstract

Objective: this article aims to analyze the epidemiological profile of mortality from cryptococcosis (ICD B-45) in Brazil between 2020 and 2023. Methods: a descriptive study was carried out using data from the Hospital Information System of the Unified Health System (SIH/SUS) and the DATASUS platform, considering variables such as year, region, age group, sex, and number of deaths. Results: mortality from cryptococcosis showed regional variations, with a higher prevalence in immunocompromised and elderly individuals, especially in the Midwest and South regions. Conclusion: the results indicate the need for preventive actions and specific health policies for the most vulnerable areas and population groups.
