Resumen
La parasitosis intestinal es un Problema de Salud Pública, cuya erradicación representa un desafío a nivel mundial, no sólo porque la mayoría de las infecciones parasitarias cursan asintomáticas, sino también, porque factores como la higiene y la cultura limitan la cobertura de los programas de Atención Primaria en Salud. Identificar correctamente al parásito y determinar su reservorio de infección se identifican como las primeras herramientas que contribuyen con la disminución de la incidencia de las infecciones parasitarias, la erradicación de los factores ambientales y de sus agentes multiplicadores constituye un reto para el Sistema de Salud. El siguiente estudio tiene como objetivo determinar la prevalencia de parasitosis intestinal en el Hospital Nivel 1 del IESS en Durán, para esto se contó con un universo formado por pacientes de todas las edades y de ambos sexos los cuales llevaron muestras de heces para su estudio en el laboratorio clínico del Hospital de Durán. Se trata de un estudio de tipo no experimental y descriptivo, realizado durante un período comprendido entre los meses de noviembre y diciembre del año 2013. Para determinar la prevalencia de parasitosis intestinal se utilizó la técnica de concentración por el método de Ritchie. Los parásitos encontrados en orden de frecuencia fueron: Entamoeba coli, Blastocytis hominis, Entamoeba histolytica, Iodamoeba butschlii, Giardia lamblia, Endolimax nana, Chilomastix mesnilii, Strongiloides stercoralis y Heminolephis nana; de los cuales la mayor incidencia fue de Entamoeba coli con el 47%, el 38% para Blastocytis hominis y el 13% para Entamoeba histolytica. Las asociaciones más frecuentes entre los parásitos hallados fueron entre E. coli y B. hominis, seguido por B. hominis e I. butschlii. No se encontró relación entre edad y parasitosis. El género no tuvo relación con la parasitosis, no habiendo diferencia significativa entre los valores analizados como positivos (243 hombres y 228 mujeres).
The intestinal parasitosis in a public health problem, which eradication represents a big challenge around the world, not only because the majority of parasitic infections are asymptomatic but also because of other factors like hygiene and culture limit the range of the primary health attention programs. To identify accordingly the parasite and to determine its reservoir of infection are known as the primary tools that contribute with the decrease of the incidence of parasitic infection, the eradication of the environmental factors and its multiplier agents constitute a challenge to the health system. The following study has as an objective to determine the prevalence in the Hospital Level 1 of the IESS in Durán, to do this we had the help of a whole universe of patients which included patients from all ages and from both sexes, people who took their feces samples in order to study them in the laboratory in “Hospital de Duran”. It is about a non-experimental and descriptive type of study, which lasted from the months of November to December of 2013. To determine the prevalence of intestinal parasites we used the concentration technique through the Ritchie method. The parasites we found in frequency order were: Entamoeba coli, Blastocytis hominis, Entamoeba histolytica, Iodamoeba butschlii, Giardia lamblia, Endolimax nana, Chilomastix Mesnilii, Strongloides Stercoralis and Heminolephis Nana; from wich the higher incidence was of the Entamoeba Coli with the 47%, the 38% was to Blastocytis hominis and the 13% to Entamoeba histolytica. The most frequent between all the parasites that were found, were between E.coli and B. Hominis, followed by B. Hominis and I. Butschlii. Any relation with the age and the parasitic infections was not found. The gender had no relation with the parasitic infection either, having no difference between male and female, the analyzed values as positive (243 male and 228 female).
