This is a systematic bibliographic review study to analyze articles published in the field of Health Sciences, especially in Public Health, whose theme was carnival and samba schools. The objective was to analyze how health research has portrayed the health-disease process in samba schools and in carnival. Eleven articles were analyzed. Thus, scientific productions were found related to the theme with issues related to STIs and HIV-AIDS, the hearing health of carnival workers, historical perspectives on the 1919 carnival and the 1918 Spanish flu, yet studies that make it possible to observe health promotion in health schools and carnival beyond an event, but rather as a process.The fundamental objective of the analysis was to shift the understanding of health as negative of the disease, to health as a life affirmation. As well as, demystifying prejudiced understandings about carnival and samba schools with regard to the health of those who produce and participate in the event.
