ABSTRACT

Fundamento. Las alergias son importantes en Salud Pública; entre distintos tipos, la sensibilidad polínica (SP), en su forma de hipersensibilidad a pólenes, son patologías que afectan a parte de la población. Objetivo. Valorar la importancia del problema de SP en la región y relacionarlas con rinitis, asma, valores de IgE y otras alergias. Lugar de aplicación. Servicio Cátedra de Alergia e Inmunología (SAEI) del Hospital Nacional de Clínicas (HNC), Región Centro del País. Diseño. Estudio de corte. Estudio descriptivo útil para el administrador sanitario ya que permite determinar la carga que significa la enfermedad en la población. Permite conocer la prevalencia (P) de enfermedad. Población. Se analizaron historias clínicas (HC) de los pacientes que concurrieron al SAEI, ubicado en Córdoba capital. Método. Se procesaron las HC de los pacientes que acudieron al SAEI durante los años 2008-09 y a los que se les realizó el prick test, usando el programa Epi-Info 2000 versión 3.3.2. Se las analizó estadísticamente determinando Chicuadrado e intervalo de confianza. Resultados. La P de SP fue de 51,96%. Del total de la muestra, el 24,24% era monosensibilizado el 12,50% de estos lo era a pólenes. Del 75,76% de la muestra restante (polisensibilizado), el 65,33% estaba sensibilizado a pólenes. Conclusión. Analizando la P obtenida se desprende que las SP constituyen una problemática que afecta a más de la mitad de la población estudiada. También se observó que dicha problemática tiene, para la mayoría de los pacientes, una comorbilidad asociada a otros tipos de alergia. (AU)


Background. Allergies are important in Public Health, among the different types Pollen sensitivity, as hypersensitivity to pollen, are pathologies affecting part of the population. Objective. To appreciate the importance of the Pollen sensitivity problem in our region and to relate them to Rhinitis, Asthma, IgE values, and other allergies. Setting. Allergy and Immunology Service (AAIS) of the Hospital Nacional de Clínicas (HNC), in Córdoba city, Central Region of the country. Design. A Cross-sectional study was developed. This is a descriptive study of usefulness for the healthcare administrator because it allows estimating the disease burden significance on the population. It lets to know the sickness Prevalence (P). Population. Clinical Histories (CH) of the patients that attended the AAIS, located in Córdoba city were analyzed. Methods. CH of the patients that attended the AAIS during the years 2008 and 2009 and that the Prick Test was carried out, were processed by using the 2000 Epi-Info Program, 3.3.2. version. Statistically, Chi-square and Confidence Interval were calculated. Results. The Prevalence of Pollen sensitivity was 51.96%. From the total sample, 24.24% was monosensitized patients. Among them, 12.5% were monosensitized to pollens. The rest of the sample (75.76%) were poly-sensitized, from these, 65.33% were sensitized to pollens. Conclusion. Analyzing the obtained Prevalence emerges that Pollen sensitivity represent a problematic that affect more than a half of the studied population. Also it was observed that the pathology presented a comorbidity associated to other types of allergy produced by mites or fungus, among others, for the majority of the patients.(AU)
