ABSTRACT

Se efectuó un estudio descriptivo y transversal de 40 pacientes con infección por aborto inducido, ingresadas en la Sala de Ginecoobstetricia del Hospital Nacional de San Marcos (Guatemala), desde abril hasta septiembre del 2006, con vista a determinar la manifestación clínica de este proceso séptico. En la serie predominaron las mujeres que habían tenido múltiples embarazos, las amas de casa y las féminas analfabetas o de bajo nivel escolar. Las complicaciones médicas más importantes ocurrieron cuando el proveedor del servicio no estaba calificado para brindarlo (por ejemplo, comadronas), fundamentalmente en adolescentes y desocupadas, en las cuales primó la salpingitis grave.


A descriptive and cross-sectional study of 40 patients with infection due to induced abortion, hospitalized at the Gynecology-Obstetrics Ward from San Marcos National Hospital (Guatemala), was carried out from April, 2006 to September, 2006, in order to determine the clinical manifestation of this septic condition. Women having multiple pregnancies, housewives, as well as illiterate women or with low educational status were predominant in the series. The most important medical complications, such as severe salpingitis, showed up mainly in adolescent and unemployed females when the service provider was not qualified to offer the adequate delivery care (for example, midwives).

El sexo masculino y el grupo etáreo entre 45 y 54 años predominaron en la serie. La hipertensión arterial y diabetes mellitus constituyeron las principales afecciones que implicaron un mal pronóstico y las complicaciones con mayor mortalidad fueron las bronconeumonías y arritmias respiratorias

ABSTRACT

Se efectuó un estudio descriptivo y transversal en 112 ancianos y ancianas con diagnóstico de bronconeumonía bacteriana, ingresados en el Servicio de Medicina Interna del Hospital Provincial Docente Saturnino Lora de Santiago de Cuba durante el primer semestre del 2006, con vista a determinar la acción del tratamiento antimicrobiano seleccionado en la evolución de la enfermedad, para lo cual se revisaron las historias clínicas correspondientes. En la casuística predominaron el sexo femenino (58,0 por ciento), el grupo etario de 70 a 74 años y el criterio de selección del antibiótico empírico (61,7 por ciento); esto último fue generalmente la causa de una evolución desfavorable y una estadía hospitalaria prolongada en la mayoría de los pacientes.


A descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out in 112 old men and old women with diagnosis of bacterial bronchopneumonia, admitted at the Service of Internal Medicine of Saturnino Lora Teaching Provincial Hospital of Santiago de Cuba during the first semester of 2006, aimed at determining the action of the antimicrobian treatment selected in the clinical course of the disease, for which the corresponding medical records were reviewed. In the case material prevailed the female sex (58,0 per cent), the age group of 70 to 74 years and the selection criterion of the empiric antibiotic (61,7 per cent); this last was generally the cause of an unfavorable clinical course and a prolonged hospital stay in most of the patients.
