ABSTRACT

Introducción. La infección genital por Chlamydia trachomatis es una de las más frecuentes en el mundo. Cada año se registran cerca de 85 millones de nuevos casos de esta enfermedad, que cursa con graves complicaciones en la mujer y recién nacido. Objetivo. Determinar las características clínico-epidemiológicas de la infección por C. trachomatis en mujeres venezolanas sexualmente activas. Materiales y métodos. Es un estudio descriptivo, transversal y de campo, sustentado en la historia clínica y el examen físico, la detección de infección con la prueba inmunoenzimática con anticuerpos policlonales anti-LPS y la confirmación de los resultados con la de biología molecular. La muestra estuvo conformada por 100 mujeres sexualmente activas mayores de 12 años de edad, del estado Carabobo, Venezuela. Resultados. La mayoría de las mujeres se encontraba entre los 20 y los 45 años de edad. En el 25 % de las mismas, se detectaron anticuerpos IgG anti-C. trachomatis y, en el 84 % de estas, se confirmó la infección mediante PCR; en ninguna de las mujeres se hallaron anticuerpos IgM anti-C. trachomatis. Conclusión. La infección crónica predomina en las mujeres entre los 20 y los 45 años de edad; la prueba inmunoenzimática arrojó falsos positivos corroborados por PCR.


Introduction: Genital Chlamydia trachomatis infection is one of the most frequent in the world; about 85 million new cases of this pathology are registered each year, which causes severe complications in women and newborns. Objective: To determine the clinical-epidemiological characteristics of C. trachomatis infection in sexually active Venezuelan women. Materials and methods: Descriptive, cross-sectional, and field study based on the clinical history and physical examination, detection of infection with immunoenzymatic assay with anti-LPS polyclonal antibody and confirmation of results with molecular biology test. The sample consisted of 100 sexually active women over 12 years of age from Carabobo state, Venezuela. Results: The women were mostly between 20 and 45 years old, in 25% of them IgG antibodies to C. trachomatis were detected and in 84% of these the infection was confirmed by PCR, in none of the women IgM antibodies to C. trachomatis were found. Conclusion: Chronic infection characterizes women between 20 and 45 years of age; the immunoenzymatic test yielded false positives corroborated by PCR.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Evaluar el impacto económico que genera el tratamiento quirúrgico de la papilomatosis respiratoria recurrente en el tercer nivel de atención. La papilomatosis respiratoria recurrente es una entidad prevalente. El impacto económico que genera se encuentra principalmente en la necesidad de las repetidas intervenciones quirúrgicas que requiere a lo largo de su evolución, además de la morbilidad que ocasiona esta en el paciente. Materiales y métodos: Este estudio se realizó en el Hospital de Especialidades N° 2, Centro Médico Nacional del Noroeste, IMSS. Diseño retrospectivo, observacional, trasversal. Muestreo no probabilístico por serie consecutiva de casos. En la descripción general del estudio, se revisaron los expedientes clínicos de los pacientes con diagnóstico de papilomatosis respiratoria recurrente atendidos en el servicio de esta institución de enero de 2010 a enero de 2012. Se tomaron datos como la edad, sexo, manejo quirúrgico y/o terapia coadyuvante, y costo generado por su atención quirúrgica exclusivamente. Resultados: De un total de 103 expedientes revisados, solo 39 se encontraron completos y cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión: 16 (41%) eran de sexo femenino y 23 (59%), de sexo masculino. Se encontraron 27 casos (69%) juveniles y 12 (30.8%) adultos. Solo 19 casos (48.7%) recibieron terapia coadyuvante. En 15 casos (38.5%) se practicó traqueotomía. El costo directo por intervención quirúrgica de resecciones fue de $322,943.92 (22,190 USD) en el grupo juvenil y de $55,225.33 (3,790 USD) en el grupo adulto. Conclusiones: El tratamiento quirúrgico de la papilomatosis respiratoria recurrente representa una carga financiera y una gran morbilidad tanto para las instituciones de salud como para la familia.


Objective: To evaluate the economic impact generated by surgical treatment of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis in the tertiary care level. Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis is a prevalent entity. The economic impact it generates is mainly due to the need for repeated surgical interventions throughout its progression, in addition to the morbidity it causes to the patient. Materials and methods: This retrospective, observational, cross-sectional study was carried out at the Specialty Hospital No. 2, National Medical Center of the Northwest, Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS), using a non-probability sampling by consecutive case series. In the general description of the study, clinical records of patients diagnosed with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis treated at this institution from January 2010 to January 2012 were reviewed. Data such as age, gender, surgical management and/or adjuvant therapy, and cost generated by exclusive surgical care, were collected. Results: Out of a total of 103 reviewed files, only 39 were complete and met the inclusion criteria: 16 (41%) were female and 23 (59%) were male. Twenty-seven (27) cases (69%) were juvenile patients and 12 (30.8%) were adults. Only 19 cases (48.7%) received adjuvant therapy. Tracheotomy was performed in 15 cases (38.5%). The direct cost for resection surgery was $322,943.92 (22,190 USD) in the juvenile group and $55,225.33 (3,790 USD) in the adult group. Conclusions: Surgical treatment for recurrent respiratory papillomatosis represents a financial burden and great morbidity for both health institutions and the family.

ABSTRACT

Background: Feeding modes and appetence toward certain foods are usually conditioned by the family. Obesity during adolescence usually persists during adulthood. Aim: To determine differences in family structure of adolescents according to their nutritional status. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 60 overweight-obese and 60 normal weight adolescents. Family type was determined based on their conformation (kinship and cohabitation), development (if the mother had a remunerated job), demography (geographical area), integration (functions of the couple); life cycle stage and functionality. Results: Fifty eight percent of normal weight adolescents had simple nuclear families and 47% of overweight-obese adolescents had an extended family. Thirty one and 21% of overweight/obese and normal weight adolescents lived with an overweight/obese individual, respectively. Conclusions: There are differences in the family structure of overweight/obese and normal weight adolescents.
