Meningitis is a disease characterized by inflammation in the tissue layers covering the brain and the spinal cord, can be caused by a wide range of agents, viral being the most prevalent, while the bacterial has higher lethality. In Brazil, meningitis is endemic and represents a public health problem. The objective of this study is to evaluate its epidemiological profile in Paraná (PR) between 2010 to 2020. This is an epidemiological, observational, transversal, descriptive study with a quantitative approach. The data were obtained through the notification aggravation system (SINAN). 15,745 cases of meningitis were identified, 59.06% in men and greater and lower incidence in 2019 and 2020, respectively. It was found that the number of meningitis cases in the PR in the analyzed period remained stable, although 2019-2020 presented a fall, which may be associated with the pandemic of Covid-19.
