Parasitosis intestinal por nematodos en humanos

Abstract

Intestinal parasitosis by nematodes is one of the most common infections worldwide, causing moderate to severe health effects in people. The most likely to suffer from these infections are women and children due to the environment in which they develop day by day, for this reason, the main objective of this research is to describe intestinal parasitosis by nematodes, through bibliographic review, for the identification of parasites belonging to this group; Thus, there are 5 parasites that intervene in this group which their life cycle begins from the moment they enter the organism being unconsciously ingested by contaminated food, manifesting depending on their level of affectation which can be digestive, pulmonary or cutaneous. Thus concluding that the mechanisms of transmission of these parasites is given fecal-oral or cutaneous route triggering various pathologies according to the parasitic load, for the detection of these pathogens are used laboratory tests such as the coprologic for the identification of the parasite and the Kato-Katz for the counting of young. PAHO mentions Ecuador within group 1 of the countries that have an index of 66.8% and 67.4% of the population infected with intestinal parasitosis due to its high level of poverty and because it is a developing country.
