RESUMEN

Introducción:

La transmisión de Trypanosoma cruzi por transfusiones sanguíneas representa la segundalínea de infección después de la vectorial, lo que hace necesario identificar algunas particularidadessocioepidemiológicas en los donantes que permitan predecir la infección por Trypanosoma cruzi.

Objetivo:

Determinar la prevalencia de anticuerpos anti-Trypanosoma cruzi y los factores de riesgo de seropositividad en donantes de sangre voluntarios del Hemocentro y Unidad de Aféresis de Valledupar, Colombia. Materiales y

métodos:

Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal en 170 donantes de sangre voluntarios reclutados entre 2013 y 2014. La detección de anticuerpos IgG anti-Trypanosoma cruzi se realizó mediante pruebas serológicas. Las variables que predicen la seropositividadpara Trypanosoma cruzi se indagaron mediante un cuestionario socioepidemiológico y un posterioranálisis bivariado y de regresión logística...
ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi through blood transfusions represents the second most frequent mechanism after the vectorial transmission. Therefore, it is necessary to identify some socioepidemiological characteristics that allow predicting the Trypanosoma cruzi infection on the donors.

Objective:

To determine the prevalence of anti-Trypanosoma cruzi and risk factors for seropositivity in voluntary blood donors at the Hemocentro y Unidad de Aferesis de Valledupar, Colombia. Materialsand

methods:

A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in 170 volunteer blood donors recruited between 2013 and 2014. Detection of IgG antibodies anti-Trypanosoma cruzi was performed by serological tests. The inquiry about the predictors of seropositivity for Trypanosoma cruzi was made through a socioepidemiological questionnaire, followed by a bivariate analysis and logistic regression...
