RESUMEN
Se realizó una intervención terapéutica en 39 trabajadoras con inflamación pelviana, diagnosticadas y tratadas desde hacía 5 meses, pertenecientes al área de salud La Caoba del municipio de San Luís, en Santiago de Cuba, de enero a mayo del 2012, con vistas a comparar el costo del tratamiento medicamentoso con el del acupuntural. En la serie se obtuvo que 51,3 por ciento de las féminas con medicación mejorara en 2 semanas y 23,1 por ciento requirió más de 28 días de tratamiento, mientras que 90,0 por ciento de las que recibieron acupuntura se recuperaron en 3 semanas. Esta terapéutica alternativa constituyó un ahorro para las pacientes, al disminuir sus pérdidas económicas por gastos en medicamentos y por certificados médicos; además de reducir la estadía hospitalaria y su costo. Desde el punto de vista social se logró que las trabajadoras afectadas se incorporaran a sus quehaceres laborales y domésticos más tempranamente(AU)
