| Summary: | Abstract: The intestinal helminth infections that affect man are intimately linked to ecological, human and / or social conditions that may or not allow their persistence. The objective of the present study was to present the casuistry of the intestinal helminth infections that were diagnosed in the Clinical Laboratory of the Ambulatory Urban III Los Curos between the years 2012 to 2015. For that purpose, a retrospective investigation was carried out where they were studied for the period laboratory records were evaluated. The results evidenced 61.7% of parasitized individuals, 1.9% with some helminth (Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, Strongyloides stercoralis, Enterobius vermicularis, Hymenolepis nana or Ancylostomideos). There was no difference between the presence of helminths and the demographic parameters age or sex. It is concluded that the ecoepidemiological conditions of Los Curos are not sufficiently adequate for the maintenance of intestinal helminth infections. Resumen: Las infecciones helmínticas intestinales que afectan al hombre están íntimamente ligadas a condiciones ecológicas, humanas y/o sociales que pueden favorecer o no su persistencia. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue presentar la casuística de las infecciones helmínticas intestinales que se diagnosticaron en el Laboratorio Clínico Asistencial del Ambulatorio Urbano Tipo III Los Curos entre los años 2012 a 2015. Para tal fin se realizó una investigación retrospectiva donde se estudiaron para el período evaluado los registros del laboratorio. Los resultados evidenciaron 61,7% de individuos parasitadas, 1,9% con algún helminto (Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, Strongyloides stercoralis, Enterobius vermicularis, Hymenolepis nana o Ancylostomideos). No se evidenció diferencia entre la presencia de helmintos y los parámetros demográficos edad o género. Se concluye que las condiciones ecoepidemiológicas de Los Curos no son lo suficientemente aptas para el mantenimiento de infecciones helmínticas intestinales. |
