Résumé
Due to disseminated and metastatic non-Hodking lymphoma, Dr. César Garavagno died at the age of seventy in the city of Talca on Tuesday, September 12, 1943. The following day, he was paid a tribute in Deputies of the National Congress's chamber in Santiago. Thirteen years after his death, in 1956, Talca Hospital was named in honor of his memory, which would later become Regional Hospital. In 1959, being the first provincial surgeon not associated with a university teaching center, he was nominated Master of Chilean Surgery at the annual Surgery Congress. These have been the three posthumous tributes received that magnify and honor his memory, leaving a permanent legacy and vocation of service of medical professionals who work there today and the challenge to local surgeons to organize for third time a National Surgery Congress in Talca.

Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y retrospectivo de pre-valencia de enteroparasitosis en preescolares y escolares de la zona periférica de la ciudad de Talca y zonas rurales de la región del Maule, a partir de los resultados obtenidos en los exámenes copro-parasitológicos seriados y test de Graham, procesados en el Laboratorio de Parasitología de la Universidad de Talca, durante el período comprendido entre los años 1980 y 2008. Observamos la prevalencia total de la población calculada en 76,2 por ciento de niños infectados con parásitos, ya fuesen comensales o patógenos. Se observó un franco descenso, de 9,8 por ciento a 2,5 por ciento, de enteroparasitosis causadas por los siguientes patógenos: Giardia lamblia, Entamoeba histolytica, Trichocephalos trichiuris, Ascaris lumbricoides, Hymenolepis nana, Taenia sp. Las enteroparasitosis por comensales como Entamoeba coli, Iodamoeba bütschlii, Endolimax nana y Chilomastix mesnili experimentaron un leve descenso. A pesar de esta disminución, los parásitos comensales muestran un aumento a través del tiempo, dado por el significativo aumento en la portación de Blastocystis hominis (de 7,6 a 72,9 por ciento). Se observó además un cambio en la portación de poliparasitosis (de 64,5 a 9,6 por ciento) y monoparasitosis (de 10,0 a 35,5 por ciento).
The prevalence of intestinal parasites in preschool and school children in the city of Talca and rural areas belonging to the Maule Region, was assessed annually by means of the serial parasitological studies in stool which were performed in the Parasitology Laboratory of the Universidad de Talca. For consecutive periods since 1980 until 2008, an estimated prevalence of parasitism of 76.2 percent in the population studied was found. These results show a marked decrease from 9.8 percent to 2.5 percent in pathogenic enteroparasites like: Giardia lamblia, Entamoeba his-tolytica, Trichocephalos trichiuris, Ascaris lumbricoides, Hymenolepis nana and Taenia sp. Commensal parasites as Entamoeba coli, Iodamoeba butschlii, Endolimax nana and Chilomastix mesnili experimented a diminished recovery too. However commensal parasites globally showed an increase in time, given the significant increase of Blastocystis hominis (from 7.6 to 72.9 percent). A change was also observed in the carriage of polyparasitosis (from 64.5 percent to 9.6 percent) and monoparasitosis (from 10.0 to 35.5 percent).
