ABSTRACT

Se realizó un estudio epidemiológico analítico, de casos y controles en fase exploratoria, con vistas a determinar si la frecuencia de infecciones respiratorias en niños y adolescentes con asma de la provincia de Pinar del Río superaba la observada en aquellos que no presentaban esa enfermedad, desde julio del 2014 hasta junio del 2015. Para ello se conformaron 2 grupos de 585 integrantes cada uno, o sea un control por cada caso. Luego de procesada la información, se obtuvo un predominio del sexo masculino, en tanto, el catarro común fue la infección que afectó con mayor frecuencia fundamentalmente a los pacientes de 5-9 años de edad. Asimismo, se destacó un incremento del riesgo de padecer -- por orden de frecuencia -- afecciones, tales como catarro común, amigdalitis aguda y neumonía, bronconeumonía, así como neumonía intersticial


An analytic epidemiologic, of cases and controls study in exploratory phase, aimed at determining if the frequency of breathing infections in children and adolescents with asthma from Pinar del Río exceeded the one observed in those that didn't present that disease, was carried out from July, 2014 to June, 2015. Two groups of 585 members each one were conformed for that purpose, that is to say a control for each case. After having processed the information, there was a prevalence of the male sex, while, the common cold was the infection that affected with higher frequency fundamentally those patients aged 5-9. Also, it was emphasized an increment of the risk from suffering -- in order of frequency -- disorders, such as common cold, acute tonsillitis and pneumonia, bronchopneumonia, as well as interstitial pneumonia

ABSTRACT

Se presenta el caso clínico de un niño de 8 años de edad, con antecedentes de infecciones respiratorias repetidas, atendido en el centro de salud de Archidona hacía 4 años, y desde aquí fue remitido hacia el hospital de la ciudad de Tena, donde le indicaron algunos exámenes complementarios que no concluyeron el diagnóstico. Posteriormente fue trasladado al Hospital Pediátrico Baca Ortiz y los resultados de los exámenes efectuados, como pruebas enzimáticas y el análisis cromosómico o cariotipo, confirmaron el diagnóstico de enfermedad de Morquio. Se dieron orientaciones generales, se indicó tratamiento sintomático y fisioterapia en el área de salud; asimismo, se brindó asesoramiento genético a la madre

ABSTRACT

Se realizó un estudio analítico de casos y controles de lactantes de 6 meses, pertenecientes al Consejo Popular Heredia del Policlínico Docente "Camilo Torres Restrepo" de Santiago de Cuba, durante 2012, con vistas a identificar los factores de riesgo de la anemia carencial en esta población infantil. El universo estuvo constituido por 120 pacientes: 40 casos y 80 controles, seleccionados a razón de 1:2, a partir de las cifras de hemoglobina en estos neonatos. Para la validación estadística se utilizaron la razón de productos cruzados y el riesgo atribuible en expuestos porcentual. Entre los factores desencadenantes del mencionado trastorno figuraron: lactancia artificial, antecedentes familiares de madre con anemia en el embarazo, desnutrición por defecto e infecciones respiratorias.


An analytic case-control study of 6 months infants, belonging to Heredia People's Council of "Camilo Torres Restrepo" Teaching Polyclinic in Santiago de Cuba was carried out during 2012, with the objective of identifying the risk factors of the iron-deficiency anemia in this infant population. The universe was constituted by 120 patients: 40 cases and 80 controls, selected at a ratio of 1:2, taking into account the hemoglobin figures in these neonates. For the statistical validation the odds ratio and the attributable risk were used in exposed percentages. Among the triggering factors of the mentioned disorders there were: artificial nursing, mother's history with anemia during pregnancy, malnutrition by defect and breathing infections.
