Resumen
La Tosferina es una enfermedad infecciosa aguda de etiología bacteriana ocasionada por Bordetella pertussis, que se transmite por contacto directo con las secreciones de las vías respiratorias de personas infectadas, es una importante causa de morbilidad y mortalidad infantil en el mundo, se presenta en cualquier época del año afectando principalmente individuos no inmunizados, especialmente lactantes menores, siendo usual la ocurrencia de brotes y epidemias por esta causa. (PAHO/APHA, 2011). Se estima que en el mundo anualmente entre 20 a 40 millones de casos ocurren por esta dolencia, provocando entre 200 y 400 mil muertes, especialmente en un 90% en países en desarrollo, con una tasa de letalidad del 4% en los menores de 12 meses; en la región de las Américas, esta ocurrencia es de 20 a 30 mil casos, por ello la imperiosa necesidad de vigilar los elementos pre disponentes en el ámbito de Salud Pública e investigación. Nuestro país no ha sido ajeno al comportamiento de esta enfermedad, observándose un incremento importante en el número de casos en el último año, por ende, las perspectivas de la Tosferina hace necesario el contar con una propuesta importante de ejecución de procedimientos específicos para la detección oportuna e implementación de acciones de control.
En este trabajo el objetivo fue determinar la prevalencia de Tosferina en la población de la provincia del Guayas años 20082013. Este estudio es de carácter analítico, descriptivo, retrospectivo en el que se determinó la situación actual de la prevalencia de los registrados como positivos para Tosferina en el periodo y lugar indicados.
Pertussis is an acute infectious disease of bacterial origin caused by Bordetella pertussis, which is transmitted by direct contact with secretions from the respiratory tract of infected persons is a major cause of infant morbidity and mortality worldwide, is presented at any season primarily affecting individuals not immunized, especially young infants, being usual the occurrence of outbreaks and epidemics as a result. (PAHO/ APHA, 2011). It is estimated that worldwide annually 20 to 40 million cases occur by this disease, causing between 200 and 400 thousand deaths, especially by 90% in developing countries, with a fatality rate of 4% in the under 12 months; in the region of the Americas, this occurrence is 20-30000 cases, hence the urgent need to monitor the predisposing elements in the field of public health and research. Our country was not immune to the behavior of this disease, showing a significant increase in the number of cases in the last year, therefore, the prospects for Pertussis is necessary to count on a major proposal for implementing specific procedures for detection and timely implementation of control measures. In this work the objective was to determine the prevalence of whooping cough in the population of the province of Guayas years 2008-2013. This study Analysis of Health Situation character, descriptive, retrospective in which the current situation of the prevalence of cases registered as positive for whooping cough in the given period in the province of Guayas was determined
