Preventive chemotherapy through mass drug administration, intensified case management, and integrated vector management were extensively recommended as strategies for integrated control. The Brazilian campaign was carried out in four iterations between 2013 and 2017. Children aged 5 to 14 years enrolled in municipal public schools nationwide were targeted. In summary, a total of 1 074 and 73 522 new cases of leprosy and trachoma, respectively, were detected. Nearly 18 million doses of preventive chemotherapy for soil-transmitted helminthiasis were administered. More than 700 cases of schistosomiasis were diagnosed and treated.<\/p><\/sec><sec><title>Conclusions.<\/title><p>The integrated strategies implemented in Brazil throughout the campaign generated results aligned with the WHO recommendations for the control of neglected tropical diseases, especially those regarding mass drug administration, active case detection, and intensified case management. Therefore, the continuity of the campaign with adequate evaluation tools must be encouraged as a constant public health policy in the Brazilian government agenda.<\/p><\/sec>","DOI":"10.26633\/rpsp.2023.23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,26]],"date-time":"2023-09-26T14:02:30Z","timestamp":1695736950000},"page":"1","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Integrated control of neglected tropical diseases in Brazil: document review of a national campaign in light of WHO recommendations"],"prefix":"10.26633","volume":"47","author":[{"given":"Rosa Cast\u00e1lia Ribeiro","family":"Soares","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amanda Gabriela de","family":"Carvalho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal de Rondon\u00f3polis, Rondon\u00f3polis, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jo\u00e3o Gabriel Guimar\u00e3es","family":"Luz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal de Rondon\u00f3polis, Rondon\u00f3polis, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ana Luiza Z\u00edlio","family":"Lucas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Secretaria Municipal de Sa\u00fade de Cuiab\u00e1, Cuiab\u00e1, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eliane","family":"Ignotti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade do Estado de Mato Grosso, C\u00e1ceres, Brazil"},{"name":"eliane.ignotti@unemat.br"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"11167","reference":[{"key":"ref1","unstructured":"World Health Organization.
