RESUMEN

Introducción:

El presente trabajo de investigación es relativo a los resultados analíticos sobre el brote de tularemia aparecido en poblaciones del noroeste de Castilla y León en el verano de 2007. Pacientes y

métodos:

Se obtuvieron 302 sueros de residentes en el Área de Salud Oeste de Valladolid, atendidos en el Hospital Universitario Río Hortega de SACYL. A todos ellos se les realizó una prueba de aglutinación en tubo para detectar anticuerpos anti-Fancisella tularensis.

Resultados:

Se detectaron anticuerpos anti-F. tularensis en 59 (19%) de los 302 sueros estudiados. Las formas clínicas más frecuentes de presentación de la enfermedad sugieren la vía inhalatoria como puerta de entrada del germen.

Conclusiones:

Al comparar el actual brote de tularemia humana con el de finales de 1997 observamos un menor número de casos positivos y diferencias en cuanto a vía de transmission y forma clínica de presentación predominante (AU)
ABSTRACT

Introduction:

This present research study presents the analytic results of an outbreak of tularemia (Francisella tularensis) that occurred in the Northwest areas of Castilla y León in Northern Spain in late June 2007. Patients and

methods:

Serum was obtained from 302 patients from a West Valladolid health area, attended in the University Hospital of Río Hortega of the Castilla y León Health Care Service, with suspicion of tularemia. A tube agglutination test was performed in all of them to detect anti-F. tularensisantibodies.

Results:

Anti-F. tularensis antibodies were detected in 59 (19%) of reported cases (302 sera). The most frequent clinical presentations of the disease suggest that the main transmission pathway was through inhalation of the bacteria.

Conclusions:

When the 2007 outbreak of human tularemia was compared with that which occurred in 1997, we observed a lower number of positive cases in the recent outbreak as well as a difference in the transmission pathway and predominant form of clinical presentation of the disease (AU)
