A total of 14% of the municipalities registered at least one VL-related death. In the southeastern mesoregion of the state, we detected high-risk spatial (relative risk [RR] 14.14; p&amp;lt;0.001) and spatiotemporal (RR 15.91; p&amp;lt;0.001) clusters for VL mortality. Bivariate Moran's analysis suggested a high space\u2013time autocorrelation of VL mortality. Death by VL was associated with age \u226548\u00a0y (odds ratio [OR] 7.2 [95% confidence interval {CI} 3.4 to 15.3]), displacement for notification (OR 3.3 [95% CI 1.5 to 7.2]) and occurrence of oedema (OR 2.8 [95% CI 1.3 to 6.1]) and bleeding (OR 5.8 [95% CI 2.6 to 12.8]).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>VL mortality has a heterogeneous spatiotemporal distribution.
