Resumen
Esta investigación determina la frecuencia de escabiosis en perros de vida intradomiciliaria de la ciudad de Guayaquil, durante enero y febrero de 2014. En total 200 muestras fueron tomadas por Médicos Veterinarios capacitados, quienes valoraron clínicamente a sus pacientes que asistieron a la consulta con evidentes lesiones dermatológicas compatibles con escabiosis. En cada caso se llenó la ficha de ingreso de las muestras con las distintas variables. Las muestras fueron obtenidas mediante técnica de raspado cutáneo superficial y profundo, y analizadas en el laboratorio, mediante preparados en fresco con hidróxido de potasio al 15%, tres frotis por cada muestra, y se observó el 100% de las láminas. Se obtuvo un total de 22 casos positivos (11%) de los 200 clínicamente sospechosos como escabiosis, y que de no haberse realizado el análisis de laboratorio, hubieran sido medicados como tal, sin haber logrado un diagnóstico definitivo. De los casos positivos, 7 fueron una infección única, mientras que en los otros 15, la parasitosis estuvo combinada en 14 ocasiones con Demodex canis y en 1 con esporas micóticas. De los 22 casos positivos, en 2 (9,1%) se reportó que las personas que habitan en casa presentaban lesiones compatibles con escabiosis; mientras que la totalidad de personas con lesiones fue de 15 (7,5%) en las 200 muestras; por lo que se concluye que, en la mayoría de los casos positivos no se demuestra la zoonosis; mientras que se manifiesta la evidencia de 13 casos de personas que reportan tener lesiones de sarna en muestras negativas.
This research determines the frequency of scabies in dogs living indoors in Guayaquil City, during January and February 2014. The samples (200) were taken by trained veterinarians who evaluated clinically their patients dogs, who brought to the clinic with obvious dermatological injuries compatible with scabies. In each case the admission card of the samples with different variables was filled. Samples were obtained by superficial and deep skin scraping, and analyzed in the laboratory using fresh smears with potassium hydroxide 15%, three smears per sample, and 100% of the films was observed. 22 samples were positive (11%) of 200 samples, clinically suspected as scabies, and those without laboratory diagnosis, had been medicated as such. Of the positive cases, 7 were single infection, while in the other 15, the parasite was 14 times combined with Demodex canis and 1 with fungal spores. Of the 22 positive cases, in 2 (9,1%) reported that people living at home had lesions compatible with scabies; while all people in the reserch with injuries was 15 (7,5%); therefore concluded that, in most cases positive zoonosis is not demonstrated; while there is evidence of 13 cases of people who report having scabies lesions manifested in negative samples.
