Objective: To assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on notifiable diseases in Northern Brazil. Methods: A descriptive retrospective study was conducted using data from the Notifiable Disease Information System (Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação – Sinan) and SUS Hospital Information System (Sistema de Informações Hospitalares do SUS – SIH/ SUS) on bacterial and viral meningitis, dengue, dengue hemorrhagic fever, arboviruses, syphilis, tuberculosis, leprosy, and viral hepatitis. Descriptive statistics was used to assess the variation in absolute numbers of notifications and hospitalizations from 2015 to 2020 and their average variations. Results: Notifications and hospitalizations for meningitis, non-dengue arboviruses, leprosy, leptospirosis, and viral hepatitis exhibited a general decrease of 50 to 80% compared to previous years. There was regional variation in dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever, with independent increases and decreases. Acquired, gestational and congenital syphilis presented a 60% decrease in notifications and hospitalizations, except for congenital syphilis, which remained stable. Tuberculosis notifications and hospitalizations remained stable in the entire region. Conclusion: There was an overall decrease of more than a half of notifications and hospitalizations, representing a variable impact depending on the state and the endemic process of each subregion.
