ABSTRACT

Introducción: Neurocisticercosis es la infección parasitaria más frecuente del sistema nervioso central, causada por ingesta de alimentos contaminados con huevos del céstodo Taenia solium. La forma más común de presentación son crisis covulsivas. Objetivo: Realizar perfil epidemiológico y clínico de pacientes con diagnóstico de neurocisticercosis en el Hospital de Temuco, entre los años 2000-2006. Pacientes y Método: Revisión retrospectiva del 100 por ciento (n = 26) de historias clínicas de pacientes ingresados con diagnóstico de neurocisticercosis, según código de la Clasificación Internacional de Enfermedades (CIE – 10 B69.0), entre 1 de enero de 2000 y 31 de diciembre de 2006. Resultados: Media de edad al diagnóstico de 33,6 años; 65,3 por ciento de sexo masculino; 73,1 por ciento no registró apellidos de origen mapuche; 73,0 por ciento fueron procedentes de áreas urbanas. Crisis convulsivas fue el motivo de consulta más frecuente. Mediana de evolución de 30 días al momento de la consulta; 30,7 por ciento descritos como “larga data”, sin estimación exacta del tiempo evolución. El 100 por ciento fue estudiado con neuroimágenes. La mayoría presentó 2 o más lesiones y 80 por ciento de localización parenquimatosa; 30,7 por ciento requirió cirugía, indicada por hidrocefalia secundaria. No hubo pacientes fallecidos en esta serie. Conclusiones: Afecta a población activa, con predominio de sexo masculino, la mayoría sin apellidos mapuches y de procedencia urbana. Uno de cada tres pacientes consultó por crisis convulsivas. Todos nuestros pacientes fueron estudiados con neuroimágenes, que mostraron dos lesiones y de ubicación parenquimatosa en la mayoría de los casos. Un tercio requirió manejo quirúrgico, por hidrocefalia secundaria como complicación.


Introduction: Neurocysticercosis is the most common parasitic infection of the central nervous system caused from the ingestion of food that contains the Taenia solium eggs. Seizures are the most common clinical features. Aim: To establish an epidemiological-clinical profile of patients diagnosed with Neurocysticercosis in the Hospital of Temuco between the years 2000-2006. Methods and patients: Retrospective review of the 100 percent (n = 26) of clinical histories of patients diagnosed with Neurocysticercosis according to the International Classification of Diseases (CIE – 10 B69.0), between the 1st of January, 2000 and the 31th of December, 2006. Results: Average of age at diagnosis of 33,6 years old; 65,3 percent are male; 73,1 percent with no Mapudungun last names; 73,0 percent from urban areas. The principal reason of consult was seizures. Average 30-day evolution at the time of consultation; 30,7 percent were described as “long data”, without an exact estimation of the time of evolution. Within the 100 percent that was studied with neuroimaging, most of them presented two lesions and 80 percent was in the parenchyma; 30,7 percent needed surgery, in most of the cases because of hydrocephalus. Any of the patients died in this group. Conclusions: This pathology affects active population. Just a few were male, and most of them did not have Mapudungun last names or come from urban areas. One of three patients consulted because of seizures. All of the patients were studied with neuroimaging and in most cases they had two lesions and parenchymal localization. One of three patients required surgical management because of hydrocephalus.

ABSTRACT

A cross sectional study among 450 individuals selected by strafified random sampling was carried out in rural Goa to find out the prevalence of cysticercosis and taeniasis, as well as to study the role of various factors associated with this diseases. The study participants were administered a pre-tested structured questionnaire and subsequently blood and stool samples were examined. SPSS software was used to analyze the data statistically. The sero-prevalence of cysterosis was 22.4%, which increased with age. Prevalence of taeniasis was 9.7% by stool examination. Individuals with taeniasis were thrice more likely to have cysticercosis; however no association between sero-positivity for cysterosis and pork consumption as well as religion could be established. The study confirmed a high sero-prevalence of cysticercosis in Goa underscoring the need to general awareness about good cooking habits and sanitation.

ABSTRACT

Utilizando las técnicas moleculares de SSCP y RAPD se pudo evidenciar rápida y claramente la variabilidad genética en Colombia de larvas del céstodo Taenia solium analizando fragmentos de genes de ADN mitocondrial y fragmentos aleatorios de ADN nuclear. El ADN estudiado se obtuvo de ocho aislados de cisticercos de cerdo provenientes de tres departamentos de Colombia: Antioquia, Nariño y Sucre. Los fragmentos obtenidos por PCR de los genes NADH deshidrogenasa 1 (ND1) y citocromo oxidasa c subunidad I (COI) al ser denaturados y analizados en geles no denaturantes de acrilamida, mostraron al menos tres patrones diferentes por cada gen analizado, verificando que estos genes conservados mitocondriales son polimórficos en T. solium colombiana. Por otra parte, los cebadores decaméricos de RAPD produjeron patrones polimórficos, corroboraron la diversidad genética entre los diferentes aislamientos analizados.
