RESUMO
Las enfermedades parasitarias tienen una distribución mundial y son causa de una significativa morbimortalidad, principalmente en las regiones tropicales. En los últimos años, el interés por estas infecciones ha crecido como consecuencia del incremento de la inmigración, los viajes al extranjero y las adopciones internacionales, que además han supuesto un incremento en la incidencia de parasitosis en nuestro país. El perfil típico del viajero también ha cambiado, ha aumentado el número de personas inmunodeprimidas, con enfermedades crónicas o de mayor edad. Los inmigrantes establecidos en los países de acogida a menudo regresan a sus regiones de origen para visitar a sus parientes o amigos, viajes que suelen ser de alto riesgo. Las donaciones de sangre y órganos pueden provenir de inmigrantes originarios de cualquier parte del mundo, con el consiguiente riesgo de transmisión de infecciones exóticas. El objetivo de esta revisión es sintetizar el tratamiento de las parasitosis más frecuentes en un momento en el que la parasitología clínica está de plena actualidad (AU)
Parasitic infections occur worldwide and cause significant morbidity and mortality, especially in tropical areas. In recent years, the interest in these infections has grown because of the increase in immigration, international travel, and international adoptions. In Spain, these factors have led to a rise in the incidence of parasitic infections. The typical profile of travelers has also changed, with an increase in immunosuppressed persons, and those of advanced age or with pre-existing medical conditions. Immigrants who have settled in host countries often return to their countries of origin to visit friends and relatives, and these travelers are at a higher risk of acquiring certain infections. Immigrants may be blood or organ donors, and transmission of exotic infections may occur. This review summarizes the management of the most frequent parasitic infections at a time when clinical parasitology is of considerable interest (AU)
