Abstract
El objetivo fue determinar la correlación entre la frecuencia de enteroparasitismo y la anemia en niños menores de 5 años atendidos en el Hospital Distrital Vista Alegre, Trujillo-Perú. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal entre los meses de setiembre y diciembre de 2019. La muestra estuvo constituida por 129 niños de ambos sexos sin tratamiento antiparasitario ni consumo de suplemento de hierro. Se evaluaron muestras fecales mediante examen directo en fresco con colorante lugol parasitológico y solución salina 0,9%. Las muestras de sangre se examinaron mediante el método colorimétrico. Los resultados indicaron una frecuencia del 69,77 % de parasitosis intestinal en niños menores de 5 años atendidos. La monoparasitosis fue el tipo de parasitismo más frecuente con 79,07%. Las especies parasitarias más frecuentes fueron G. lamblia con 31,78 %, B. hominis con 20,93 %, E. nana con 11,63 % y E. coli con 9,30 %. Solo el 7,75 % de los niños menores de 5 años presentaron la condición de anémicos. No existe relación estadísticamente significativa (p>0,05). Se concluye que para el presente estudio no existe relación entre la frecuencia de parasitosis y los niveles de hemoglobina en niños menores de 5 años atendidos en el Hospital Distrital Vista Alegre, Trujillo – Perú 2019. Las parasitosis continúan siendo enfermedades altamente prevalentes en nuestro país. El estado a través del sistema de salud debe establecer políticas que permitan tomar acciones para disminuir estos altos índices.
The objective was to determine the correlation between the frequency of enteroparasitismo and anemia in preschool children treated at the Vista Alegre District Hospital, Trujillo-Perú. A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out between the months of September and December 2019. The sample consisted of 129 children of both sexes without antiparasitic treatment or consumption of iron supplements. Fecal samples were evaluated by direct fresh examination with parasitological lugol stain and 0.9% saline solution. Blood samples are examined by the colorimetric method. The results indicated a frequency of 69.77% of intestinal parasitosis in preschool children attended. Monoparasitosis was the most frequent type of parasitism with 79.07%. The most frequent parasitic species were G. lamblia with 31.78%, B. hominis with 20.93%, E. nana with 11.63% and E. coli with 9.30%. Only 7.75% of the preschoolers presented the condition of anemic. There is no statistically significant relationship (p> 0.05). It is concluded that for the present study there is no relationship between the frequency of parasitosis and the hemoglobin levels in preschool children treated at the Vista Alegre District Hospital, Trujillo-Perú. Parasites continue to be highly prevalent diseases in our country. The state through the health system must establish policies that take actions to reduce these high rates.
