ABSTRACT

Stratification of malaria endemic areas on eco-epidemiological criteria is an important step in planning and implementing malaria control programs. The uses of stratification of malaria endemic areas lead to better targeting of control measures such as residual insecticide spraying in countries where unstable malaria transmission occur. In this study, two methods that can be used for stratification of malaria endemic areas in Sri Lanka using routinely collected surveillance data over a period of 9 years are described. In the first method, the median Annual Parasite Incidence (API) was used as the criterion to classify an area as at risk for malaria while in the second method, the API and the Falciparum Rate (FR) were used as the criteria. Risk maps were produced by plotting the results of the analyses on maps generated by EPIMAP. The potential uses of risk maps are discussed.

ABSTRACT

En Bolivia se dan las condiciones culturales, sociales y ambientales para que se presenten casos de Tetanos neonatal y son alarmante algunas practicas de la medicina tradicional. Este trabajo enfoca el problema sobre la base informativa de los registro de 157 establecimiento de salud de los 9 Departamentos del pais del trienio 1986 y 88, identificando, segun sus caracteristica ambientales, las regiones de mayor riesgo de infeccion que corresponden sobre todo a los llanos sub-tropicales y tropicales, no observandose casos sobre los 2.000 metros de altitud. El Tetano neonatal es un serio problema de salud, siendo la tasa promedio de incidencia anual 0.43 x 10.000 h.: la mayor parte de los 430 casos registrados en los tres anos, provenian del area rural, de partos atendidos por el personal no capacitado con madres no inmunizadas. La letalidad es muy alta y sobre pasa el 50 por ciento. Un hecho llamativo fue la ausencia de adecuados registros en los Centros de atencion de Salud que hace dificil cualquier conclusion
