Resumen
Introducción: La enfermedad de Chagas ocasionada por el Tripanosoma Cruzi originaria de lugares de América mostrando altos valores de morbimortalidad. Queremos proponer que la enfermedad de Chagas sea un evento de interés de salud pública para que no solamente exista la notificación obligatoria en papeles cuando se detecte un caso, sino que sea considerada dentro del control de enfermedades transmitidas por vector.
Metodología: Es una investigación no experimental de tipo descriptivo, con enfoque retrospectivo, para la cual se utilizó una Base de Datos compuesta por pacientes hijos de madres ingresadas bajo el código de diagnóstico CIE-10 B57, correspondiente a Enfermedad de Chagas otorgada por el Departamento de Estadísticas del Hospital de Infectología de la ciudad de Guayaquil. Se recolectó una muestra de 100 pacientes
Resultados: El sexo masculino represento el 65% de los casos, así como la mayor prevalencia se encontró en pacientes entre 31 a 60 años. Se evidencia una mortalidad elevada, correspondiente a un valor de 25 casos (25,00%). Se determina la relación entre el desarrollo de Enfermedad de Chagas y un incremento considerable en la mortalidad de los pacientes (p<0,005)
Conclusiones: Se concluye de igual forma que la Enfermedad de Chagas puede presentarse principalmente en pacientes de sexo masculino y cuya edad se encuentre entre 31 a 60 años. La miocardiopatía dilatada es la principal complicación.
Chagas disease caused by the Trypanosoma Cruzi originating in places of America showing high values of morbidity and mortality. We want to propose that Chagas disease be an event of public health interest so that not only is there mandatory notification in papers when a case is detected but it is considered within the control of diseases transmitted by vector. METHODOLOGY: This is a non-experimental research of a descriptive type, with a retrospective approach, for which a Data Base was used, composed of patients born to mothers admitted under the ICD-10 B57 diagnostic code, corresponding to Chagas Disease granted by the Department. of Statistics of the Hospital of Infectology of the city of Guayaquil. A sample of 100 patients was collected RESULTS: The male sex represented 65% of the cases, as well as the highest prevalence was found in patients between 31 to 60 years old. There is a high mortality, corresponding to a value of 25 cases (25.00%). The relationship between the development of Chagas disease and a considerable increase in patient mortality is determined (p <0.005) CONCLUSIONS: It is concluded that Chagas disease can occur mainly in male patients and whose age is between 31 to 60 years. Dilated cardiomyopathy is the main complication.
