AB - Introduction: We aimed to analyze the relationship between visceral leishmaniasis mortality and social determinants of health (SDH).<br>
<br>Methods: This was an ecological study of all leishmaniasis-related deaths in Brazil, from 2001 to 2015. We analyzed 49 indicators of human development and social vulnerability. The association was tested using the classical and spatial regression model.<br>
Results: Mortality was associated with indicators that expressed low human development and high social vulnerability: lack of garbage collection, low schooling, unemployment rate, low per capita income, and income inequality (Gini index).<br>
Conclusions: There was an association between high mortality by leishmaniasis and low SDH
