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

Objetivou-se descrever a prevalência de tracoma em residentes nos municípios da V Gerência Regional de Saúde - V GERES, Pernambuco no período de 2010 a 2014. Foi realizado um estudo epidemiológico do tipo descritivo retrospectivo, com caráter quantitativo a partir de levantamento de dados do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN), durante o período de 2010 a 2014. A prevalência total de tracoma nos municípios pesquisados foi de 32,54 a cada 10.000 habitantes. Foram detectados 569 casos, dos quais 98,06% foram de Tracoma Inflamatório (TF/TI). As formas sequelares (TS/ TT/CO) apresentaram uma taxa de 1,06% e 0,88% foram ignorados. Houve uma diferença entre a zona urbana e rural 58,92% e 40,36% respectivamente. Quanto ao sexo, observou-se um maior percentual de casos nas mulheres com 57,68% dos casos. A faixa etária de 15 a 19 anos, registrou a maior taxa da doença com 54,84 % dos casos. Por se tratar de uma doença crônica e reincidiva, faz-se necessário um acompanhamento continuado, a fim de se obter melhores resultados no que diz respeito ao seu tratamento e controle. Para isso é preciso fortalecer as ações de vigilância epidemiológica do tracoma, capacitando os profissionais de saúde, para detectar, tratar e monitorar os casos da doença. A educação em saúde deve ser trabalhada de forma constante, visando sensibilizar e mobilizar a comunidade para participar de forma ativa no processo de profilaxia dessa infecção.(AU)


This study aimed to describe the prevalence of trachoma in residents in the municipalities of V Regional Health Management - V GERES, Pernambuco in the period 2010 to 2014. It was performed an epidemiological study of kind retrospective descriptive, with quantitative character from lifting the Notifiable Diseases Information System data (SINAN), during the period 2010-2014. The overall prevalence of trachoma in the municipalities surveyed was 32.54 per 10,000 inhabitants. 569 cases, in which 98.06% were inflammatory trachoma (TF / TI) were detected. The sequelae forms (TS / TT / CO) had a rate of 1.06% and 0.88% were ignored. There was a difference between urban and rural 58.92% and 40.36% respectively. As to gender, there was a higher percentage of cases in women with 57.68% of cases. The age group 15-19 years had the highest rate of the disease in 54.84% of cases. Because it is a chronic disease and relapse, continued follow-up is necessary, in order to obtain best results with regard to its treatment and control. . For this it is necessary to strengthen the epidemiological surveillance of trachoma, enabling healthcare professionals to detect, treat and monitor cases of the disease. Health education must be worked steadily to sensitize and mobilize the community to participate actively in this infection prophylaxis process.(AU)
