Introducción: El Staphylococcus Aureus constituye un agente etiológico frecuente de intoxicaciones alimentarias y se encuentra asociado a diversos alimentos. Objetivo: Describir la frecuencia de portación de Staphylococcus Aureus en manipuladores de alimentos de restaurantes de Asunción durante el 2017. Metodología: Se realizó un estudio observacional, prospectivo, descriptivo de corte transversal a manipuladores de alimentos de restaurantes de Asunción durante los meses de mayo a junio del 2017. Se realizaron tres hisopados nasales a cada uno de los 30 manipuladores de alimentos para determinar si la portación era intermitente, permanente u ocasional. Al mismo tiempo fueron realizadas encuestas donde se midieron variables demográficas. Resultados: La prevalencia de portación de Staphylococcus Aureus fue del 33,3 % (10), siendo el 40% (4) esporádica e intermitente y el 20% (2) permanente. En cuanto a las características demográficas de los manipuladores,el 56,66% (17) fueron del sexo masculino, eran solteros 43,33% (13) y el 50% (15) contaban con estudios secundarios completos. El promedio de edad de 29 de los manipuladores fue de 39,5 años con un rango comprendido entre 18 y 85 años. El 23,33% (7) utilizaban guantes a la hora de manipular los alimentos. Además, se pudo observar que el 26,66% (8) utilizaba gorros. Llamó la atención que el 30% (9) de los encuestados no presentaban uñas limpias durante la manipulación. Palabras clave: Staphylococcus Aureus; manipuladores; alimentos.


Introduction: Staphylococcus Aureus is a frequent etiologic agent of food poisoning and is associated with various foods. Objective : To describe the frequency of Staphylococcus Aureus in food handlers of restaurants in Asunción during 2017. Methodology: An observational, prospective, descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out on food handlers in restaurants in Asuncion during the months of May to June 2017. Three nasal swabs were made to each of the 30 food handlers to determine if the carriage was intermittent, permanent or occasional. At thesame time, surveys were carried out where demographic variables were measured. Results: The prevalence of carrying Staphylococcus Aureus was 33.3% (10), being 40% (4) sporadic and intermittent and 20% (2) permanent. Regarding the demographic characteristics of the manipulators, 56.66% (17) were male, were single 43.33% (13) and 50% (15) had complete secondary education. The average age of 29 of the manipulators was 39.5 years with ranger between 18 and 85 years. 23.33% (7) used gloves when handling food. In addition, it was observed that 26.66% (8) used caps.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La Lepra infantil sigue siendo una patología poco descripta y sub valorada en la consulta diaria. El diagnóstico exige buena habilidad clínica porque las lesiones cutáneas son asintomáticas y pueden pasar desapercibidas. Objetivo: Presentar una casuística pediátrica y dar ponderancia a los criterios clínicos y epidemiológicos para el diagnóstico. Material y Método: Estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo. En 73 casos se observó contacto familiar intradomiciliario. La clínica y la epidemiología fueron los pilares básicos del diagnóstico, pues la baciloscopía resultó negativa en el 78% de los casos. Conclusión: La lepra figura dentro de las enfermedades reemergentes en nuestro país y a nivel mundial, razón por la cual el pediatra debe pensar en ella para el diagnóstico diferencial ante un paciente con lesiones cutáneas y/o alteraciones sensitivas, y orientar el interrogatorio en la búsqueda de antecedentes familiares de la afección.


Introduction: Leprosy in children remains a pathology that is little described, and is underestimated in routine examination. Diagnosis of leprosy requires superior clinical skills because the lesions of the skin are asymptomatic and can pass unnoticed. Objective: To present pediatric case material and offer considerations concerning clinical and epidemiological criteria for diagnosis. Materials and Methods: A retrospective descriptive study. We evaluated 88 patient records stored in the archives of the Mennonite Hospital loca-ted at Kilometer 81, Route 2, Paraguay, from the time period of January 2000 until June of 2003, analyzing age, gender, clinical signs leading to diagnosis, time of progression, bacilloscopy the form of leprosy (lepromatous or tuberculoid), and history of contacts. Results: The most affected age group (42%) was that of ages 10- to 14-years of age, among males (58%), the most common form is tuberculoid, or paucibacillary leprosy (27 cases) and lepromatous, or multibacillary leprosy (25 cases). In 73 cases, intra-household contact was observed. Clinical examination and epidemiology were the primary tools for diagnosis, given that bacilloscopy was negative in 78% of patients. Conclusion: Leprosy is a disease that is re-emerging in Paraguay and around the world, for that reason pediatricians should consider it in differential diagnosis when faced with a patient with lesions of the skin or changes in sensitivity, and should ask questions to elicit any family history of the disease.
