Prevalencia de parasitosis intestinal portrichuris trichiura en pacientes pediátricos.

Abstract

Introduction: The study of intestinal parasitosis has great relevance worldwide, the WHO stated that 46 million infants are infected by helminths, 13 million include children aged 1-4 years and 33.3 million schoolchildren aged 5-14. years, in addition to identifying socio-cultural factors that trigger pathologies, taking into account health measures to improve living conditions, delimiting the pediatric group, because its incidence generates rates of anemia, physical decline, weight loss, among other manifestations clinics. The main objective is to determine the prevalence of Trichuris trichiura in pediatric patients through a clinical study carried out by the pharmaceutical biochemist to know the clinical manifestations caused by helminth infections. Methodology: The bibliographic-descriptive methodology was used, carrying out bibliographic reviews on the information on the intestinal parasitism of Trichuris trichiura through reliable sources such as scientific articles and books. Conclusion: It was possible to determine through the bibliographical compilation the percentage of the prevalence of Trichuris trichiura based on the evaluation of people who go to clinical laboratories to perform routine tests, of which 45% show positive results, especially pediatric patients who go to public health centers, in the same way in private laboratories there are 25% of parasitic conditions due to helminths, due to the lack of knowledge of hygienic-sanitary measures regardless of social class, since this parasitic infection is caused by a bad hygiene habit, contaminated food and poor processing of the drinking water system.
