ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The neonatal infection by Streptococcus group B is one of the main causes of neonatal morbi-mortality rate. For this reason a screening is made to each pregnant woman in order to detect its presence, and if it was the case, to apply an antibiotic treatment during labour. The aim of this study was to know the prevalence of this Streptococcus in the pregnant women from Melilla, as well as the differences according to culture and age. METHOD: A descriptive cross-sectional study located in the Hospital Comarcal from Melilla. RESULTS: The sample is taken from 280 women: 194 are from Muslim culture (69.3%), 68 are from Christian culture (24.3%) and 18 women from unknown cultures (6.4%). Also it is known that 78 of them are 25 years old or less (27.85%), 158 are between 26 and 34 years old (56.42%) and 44 are 35 years old or more (15.71%). CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of vagino-rectal colonization by Streptococcus group B in the pregnant women from Melilla is within the national estimated figures, however it is different if they are from Muslim or Christian culture, being higher in the Muslim population. On one hand both prevalences are within the national statistics, and on the other hand it is observed that there is not any difference according to age.

ABSTRACT

Contexto. La infección neonatal por estreptococo grupo B es una de las principales causas de morbimortalidad neonatal. Por ello se realiza un cribado a todas las gestantes para detectar su presencia y, en tal caso, administrar un tratamiento antibiótico durante el trabajo de parto. El objetivo del estudio fue conocer la prevalencia de estreptococo en las gestantes de Melilla, así como sus diferencias en función de la cultura y la edad. Método. Estudio descriptivo trasversal con emplazamiento en el Hospital Comarcal de Melilla. Resultados. La muestra tomada está formada por 280 individuos; 194 son de cultura musulmana (69.3 %) y 68 son de cultura cristiana (24.3 %), con 18 individuos de cultura desconocida (6.4 %). Asimismo, se sabe que 78 tienen una edad menor o igual a 25 años (27.85 %), 158 individuos tienen una edad comprendida entre los 26 y 34 años (56.42 %) y 44 individuos tienen una edad igual o mayor a 35 años (15.71 %). Conclusiones. La prevalencia de colonización vagino-rectal por estreptococo grupo B en las gestantes de Melilla está dentro de las cifras estimadas a nivel nacional. Sin embargo, es diferente en función de si pertenecen a la cultura musulmana o cristiana, siendo mayor en la población musulmana. Ambas prevalencias se encuentran dentro de las estadísticas nacionales. Por otro lado, se observa que no existen diferencias en la prevalencia en función de la franja etárea (AU)
