ABSTRACT

Introducción. El acontecimiento vital estresante que supone el fenómeno migratorio puede suponer un factor de mayor riesgo de enfermedad mental. Objetivo. Comparar la prevalencia de ansiedad-depresión en población latinoamericana residente en Canarias con la población autóctona. Material y métodos. Estudio descriptivo-transversal cualitativo y cuantitativo en marzo-agosto de 2009 de los adultos latinoamericanos residentes en Canarias seleccionados en consultas de atención primaria. Encuesta mediante entrevista clínica estructurada y escalas de ansiedad-depresión. Análisis estadístico. Análisis exploratorio de datos y de relación entre variables incluyendo estudio cualitativo de las variables susceptibles. Resultados. Se incluyeron 125 pacientes. Edad media 38,9 años (DE 12,07). El 73,6% eran mujeres, 42,4%casados y el 77,6% tiene empleo. Presentan ansiedad el 44% (IC 95%: 0,527-0,353) y depresión el 63,2% (IC 95%: 0,714-0,546). Un 13,6% refieren haber sufrido malos tratos. Un 19,2% síntomas psicopatológicos infantiles. Un 64,6% tiene antecedentes personales de enfermedad mental. La depresión se asocia al «estado civil» (p=0,012), la «situación familiar» (p<0,0001), el «tiempo en España» (5,75 años ± 3,88 vs 7,50 años ± 7,39; p=0,002) y el «motivo de inmigración» (p=0,050). La ansiedad, con la «edad» (41,1 años ± 12,51 vs 37,2 años ± 11,5; p=0,070) y con el «desempleo» (p=0,014). La ansiedad-depresión con «malos tratos» (76,5 vs 23,5%; p=0,004) (100 vs 0% p=0,001), «síntomas psicopatológicos en infancia» (62,5 vs 37,5%; p=0,042), (83,3 vs 16,7%; p=0,023) y «antecedentes de enfermedad mental» (68,4 vs 31,6%; p<0,001) (84,2 vs 15,8%; p=0,001). Es un factor de riesgo para la ansiedad presentar «antecedentes de salud mental», «sufrir malos tratos» y «no tener trabajo». La depresión se asocia a la «situación familiar» como factor protector y como factor de riesgo «antecedentes de salud mental» y «síntomas psicopatológicos infantiles». El análisis cualitativo ofrece como buenas «relaciones sociales», «visión de la sociedad» y presencia de la «ilusión/esperanza por volver al país». Conclusiones. La prevalencia de ansiedad no es diferente a la de la población general y los factores del hecho migratorio parecen no influir en nuestro estudio (AU)


Introduction. Immigration is a vital stressful event that could be a higher risk of suffering a mental illness. Objective. To compare the prevalence of anxiety-depression in the Latin-American immigrant population living in the Canary Islands and compare them with the non-immigrant population. Material and Method. Exploratory analysis of dates and the relationship between variables, including the qualitative analysis. Results. The study included 125 patients, with a mean age of 38.9 years (SD: 12.07), of whom 73.6% were women, 42.4% married and 77.6% employed. A total of 44% suffered anxiety (95% CI: 0.527-0.353) and 63.2% had depression (95% CI: 0.714-0.546). Abuse was reported by 13.6% and the 19.2% had psychopathological symptoms in childhood. A history of mental illness was reported in 64.6%. Depression was associated with “marital status” (P=.012), “family situation” (P=.0001), “time in Spain” (5.75 years± 3.88 vs. 7.50 years± 7.39 P=.002) and “reason for immigration” (P=.050). Anxiety was associated with “age” (41.1 years± 12.51 vs. 37.2 years± 11.5 P=.070) and “unemployment” (P=.014). Anxiety-depression with “abuses” (76.5 vs. 23.5% P=.004), (100 vs. 0% P=.001), “psychopathological symptoms in childhood” (62.5 vs. 37.5% P=.042), (83.3 vs. 16.7% P=.023) and “clinical history of mental illness” (68.4 vs. 31.6% P=.001), (84.2 vs. 15.8% P=.001). “Clinical history of mental illness”, “abuses” and “unemployment” are risk factors for anxiety. Depression is associated with “family situation” as a protective factor and “clinical history of mental illness” and “psychopathological symptoms in childhood” as a risk factor. The qualitative analysis showed “relationships”, “vision of society” and “hope of going back home” as positive factors. Conclusions. The prevalence of anxiety is no different to the general population, and the migration factors do not appear to modify our study (AU)

ABSTRACT

The present design is a descriptive study in which people bitten by animals, rabies treatment used and the reactions to it are described. The frequency of adverse effects to the vaccine and to the serum are pointed out. The forms of clinical presentation and the clinical symptoms of the reactions observed in the Ciego de Avila province, Cuba, in the period from 1981 to 2001, were evaluated. In this period prevailed the reactions to the heterologous serum and the reactions caused by the human rabies vaccine. Local reactions to the vaccine were more common than the systemic ones. Four neuroparalytic reactions produced by the vaccines were observed. The most frequent symptoms and signs of the patients with reaction to the vaccine were pruritus, rash, localized urticaria, papule in the point of injection and local pain. The clinical manifestations considered as reactions to the heterologous serum that prevailed in the patients were rash in gluteal regions, pruritus, local erythyema and fever. No patient was detected with neurological manifestations caused by the heterologous serum.

ABSTRACT

Se analizaron 275 casos reportados en edades pediátricas en el período de 1980 al 2000 en la provincia Ciego de Ávila. Predominó el grupo de 10 a 14 años, seguido de 5 a 9 años. Fue más frecuente el sexo masculino. Sólo se reportó un fallecido. Los síntomas y signos de mayor frecuencia fueron fiebre, cefalea y mialgia. El 92 por ciento de los casos eran anictéricos. Los diagnósticos presuntivos más planteados fueron leptospirosis, síndrome febril agudo y meningoencefalitis viral. En las posibles fuentes de infección el baño en fuentes de agua dulce y el contacto con terrenos bajos presentaron el mayor número de casos. Se analizaron en el estudio ciertas diferencias con el cuadro clínico de los adultos y se señala que a medida que se ha ido investigando esta entidad en pediatría el reporte es mayor (AU)

ABSTRACT

Se realizó un estudio de corte transversal para evaluar la prevalencia de la infección por Leptospira y los factores de riesgo en escolares del área norte del municipio de Ciego de Ávila provincia Ciego de Ávila, Cuba. Se estudiaron 370 niños entre 5 y 14 años de ambos sexos durante el año 1998. Se utilizaron como técnicas serológicas la hemoaglutinación y microaglutinación. A cada uno de los padres se le aplicó un cuestionario que recogía las variables objeto de la investigación. Los anticuerpos de Leptospira estuvieron presentes en el 15 por ciento de los niños estudiados, siendo más frecuente en el sexo femenino y en grupo de 10 a 14 años. Los factores de riesgo detectados fueron contactos directos con animales domésticos en la vivienda y presencia de ratas y/o ratones en las mismas; el 46 por ciento de los casos seropositivos presentaron episodios anteriores de morbilidad por infección respiratoria aguda y sepsis urinaria (AU)

ABSTRACT

Se describen 2 casos de actinomicosis, uno podal y otro genital. El primero correspondió a una lesión en la planta del pie derecho de un paicente de 33 años de edad, con buena evolución clínica después de un tratamiento con ciprofloxacino y sin recidivas después de 2 años de observación. El segundo se registró en una paciente de 27 años de edad, que concurrió al servicio de ginecología dels hospital provincial Dr. Antonio Luaces Iraola de la provincia Ciego de Avila, Cuba. La pacientes después de noventa días de inicio del cuadro clínico, presenta un aumento de volumen en el abdomeninferior. Al ingreso se detectó palidez cutánea, pérdida de peso, tos no productiva y palpación de una masa tumoral. Se realizó ultrasonido abdominal y laparoscopía, observándose una masa sólida de gran tamaño de aproximadamente 10 cm. Se realizó investigación quirúrgica detectándose un gran plastrón que abarcaba útero, ambos anexos con asas intestinales y epiplón. Se confirmó actinmicosis genital por biopsia en anatomía patológica. La paciente falleció a los 7 días del postoperatorio por insuficiencia renal. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Se realizó una investigación de casos y controles sobre escabiosis en la provincia Ciego de Ávila, Cuba.El universo de estudio fueron 50 enfermos (casos) y 100 controles, se consideró caso al que tuviera un cuadro clínico compatible donde se planteara el diagnóstico inicial por un médico de la atención primaria y se ratificara el diagnóstico por un dermatólogo. A ambos grupos se les aplicó un cuestionario, el cual había sido validado anteriormente.Se calcularon razones de ventaja (OR) y sus intervalos de confianza. Como factores de riesgo se encontró: compartir la cama tres o más personas, presencia de dos o menos habitaciones en la vivienda, la escolaridad de los padres, el cambio de sábanas cada quince días o más, el cambio de la toalla con igual frecuencia y el intercambio de toallas dentro del núcleo familiar.En el presente estudio se detectaron factores de riesgo higiénicos y socio-económicos (AU)

ABSTRACT

The prevalence of intestinal parasitsm in nursery schools from Ciego de Avila province was annually avaluated during 1989-1993. The percentage of infected children ranged from 16.6% to 31.6%. An increase of frequence of infection was observed from 1991. Protozoa were more predominant than helminths. In the whole five-year period studied Giardia intestinalis had a higher prevalence (19.6%) followed by Entamoeba histolytica (3.0%). The nematode most frequently found was Trichuris trichiura (0.5%).

ABSTRACT

The morbidity of leptospirosis among children from Ciego de Avila Province was investigated from 1982 to 1995, and 253 cases were diagnosed. Isolated cases prevailed over those occurring in outbreaks. The 10-14 age group was predominant, followed by the 5-9 age group. According to sex, it was more frequently found in males than in females. One death occurred during this period. There was an increase of cases from July to August and October, and November showed a higher incidence of cases. Fever, headache and myalgia were the symptoms and signs more frequently reported, and 92% of cases showed no icterus. Acute fever, leptospirosis and viral meningoencephalitis were the presumptive diagnoses most frequently made. Possible sources of infection involving a larger number of cases were contact with low terrains and bathing in rivers, ponds and lakes. Regarding diagnosis, 162 cases were diagnosed by the microagglutination test and 91 by the hemolytic test. Canicola, australis and pomona were the serogroups more frequently detected by the microagglutination test.

ABSTRACT

Forty leptospirosis outbreaks occurred in Ciego de Avila province from 1980 to 1995. The main events involved in the outbreaks were floods, bathing in rivers and activities related to sugar cane and banana cultivation. The number of cases increased after June, with higher incidences reported in October and November. The most affected age groups were 10-14 years, 15-19 years and 30-34 years. Men were more affected than women. Students, people residing in the urban zone and farmers were the most affected groups. A total of 21 outbreaks out of 40 were confirmed by the microagglutination test and the remaining 19 by the hemolytic test. Pomona and Australis were the serogroups most frequently detected by microagglutination.

ABSTRACT

An epidemiological and clinical study of criptosporidiosis in children from Ciego de Avila province was carried out from 1987 to 1994. During this period 14,895 children with acute diarrhea were studied. Cryptosporidium sp. oocysts were found in the feces of 1,256 (8.4%) of them. Isolated cases prevailed over outbreaks, being the incidence rate proportional in both urban and rural areas. Seventy nine point seven per cent of infected children were less one year old, predominating the age group 6-11 months old. No influence of seasons on the occurrence of the parasitose was observed. The most frequently detected symptoms and signs were diarrhea, vomits and loss of weight. The main epidemiological factors were: 81.0% of ill children drank water directly from the aqueduct, 12.8% lived in overcrowded conditions, 11.0% had animals and 10.7% attended nursery schools.

ABSTRACT

A descriptive study of cases was conducted in which 781 sera were investigated using the indirect immunofluorescent technique with antigens of Babesia bovis and Babesia bigemina at the National Center for Agricultural Health. Of them, 371 came from agricultural workers and 410 from donors in the province of Ciego de Avila. It was started from dilutions of 1/64. An epidemiological survey was done to each seropositive so as to know the risk factors. The test of difference of proportions was used to compare the percentages of positives. The geometrical means were calculated in both group and they were compared with the U test of Mann Whitney. Among the agricultural workers it was detected 7% with antibodies against 3.9% of the donors (p < 0.05). It was found a greater circulation of Babesia bovis than of Babesia bigemina.

ABSTRACT

A clinical epidemiological study of reported leptospirosis cases in adults in the period 1984-1988 in the province Ciego de Avila, Republic of Cuba, was conducted. The most frequent symptoms and signs were: fever, headache and arthralgia. Eighty-two percent of patient were anicteric. The most frequent presumptive diagnosis included leptospirosis, virosis, and febrile syndrome. Sporadic cases predominated over cluster cases. The incidence of cases was higher from October to December. Sixty-five percent of patients were 36 years old or less. The serogroups detected more frequently were Leptospira interrogans var. Australia and Leptospira interrogans var Pomona. The high range of diagnostic and presumptive approaches with cases show that most cases would go undetected if an active surveillance is not implemented.

ABSTRACT

Se realizó un estudio sobre infección nosocomial en el servicio de cirugía general del Hospital Provincial Docente "Dr. Antonio Luaces Iraola" durante los años 1989 y 1990, donde se obtuvo un índice global de sepsis intrahospitalaria de 8,7 porciento. Las infecciones más frecuentes fueron la sepsis de la herida quirúrgica (49,1 porciento) y la infección de la venipuntura (38 porciento). La tasa por 100 de incidencia de sepsis de la herida quirúrgica en las operaciones "limpias" resultó superior que la establecida como normal y en las operaciones "limpias contaminadas" mayor que en las "sucias". Los estudios microbiológicos se relizaron en el 75,3 porciento de los casos; solamente el 66 porciento resultó positivo, con amplio predominio de los gérmenes gramnegativos (AU)

ABSTRACT

An epidemiological survey with histoplasmin skin test was performed in 392 poultry farmers and 265 workers considered without occupational risk of exposition to Histoplasma capsulatum, etiologic agent of histoplasmosis. The results were positive in 28.8% and 13.2% in both groups respectively. Statistically, there was a significant difference between the two groups, so it can be considered that poultry farmers are in occupational risk of infection with H. capsulatum. In the first group, the workers which are more closely related with chicken manure showed a higher reactivity to histoplasmin skin test. The working time in the farms seems to influence in the test reactivity too.

ABSTRACT

A description is made of a leptospirosis outbreak in children who bathed in the Cimarron Channel in Morón. Ciego de Avila. The outbreak started on September 25 and ended on October 20, 1986. Six cases were reported, of which four had meningoencephalic appearance. Ages ranged from 8 to 13 years. Fever, cephalalgia, arthralgia and myalgia were the most common signs and symptoms in the confirmed cases. All the patients were positive to Canicola serogroup. The results of a survey on 12 dogs in the zone surrounding the Cimarron Channel suggest that they were the reservoir which contaminated the Channel waters.
