Comportamiento de la celulitis cervical-facial en una comunidad venezolana Behavior of cervicofacial cellulitis in a Venezuelan community

Abstract

En el área integral de salud comunitaria Cerros de Marín, del municipio Maracaibo, Estado Zulia, se realizó un estudio descriptivo, longitudinal y prospectivo con 87 pacientes comprendidos en los grupos de edades establecidos por la OMS de 0 a 60 años y más, durante el período de tiempo entre mayo y septiembre de 2009, a los cuales se les informó acerca de las características de este estudio, obteniéndose el consentimiento en cada caso. Una vez establecido el diagnóstico se analizó el comportamiento de la celulitis cervico-facial atendiendo a la edad, sexo, etiología, regiones anatómicas más afectadas y los síntomas más frecuentes. Los datos fueron procesados a través del método de estadística descriptiva para representarlos en cuadros de distribución de frecuencia. Se emplearon las pruebas de hipótesis y la no para métrica ji-cuadrado, con un nivel de significación de pA descriptive, longitudinal and prospective study in 87 patients from 0 to 60 years old and more (age bracket established by WHO), was conducted from May to September 2009 at "Cerros de Marín" comprehensive health area, Maracaibo district, Zulia State, Venezuela. Patients were informed about the characteristics of the study including an informed consent for each of the cases. Once the diagnosis was stablished, the behavior of cervicofacial cellulitis was analyzed, where age, sex, etiology, most affected anatomical regions and most frequent symptoms were taken as variables into the study. Data were processed using descriptive statistical methods to be represented in charts for the distribution of frequencies. Hypothesis and chi-square tests having a level of significance p<0, 05 were used. Male sex was the most affected (dental-origin cellulitis), ages from 35 to 59 prevailed. The most common symptoms were edema and pain in the masseter muscle and submandibular regions. Venezuelan medical doctors and dentists created an educational proposal to modify the level of knowledge concerning this topic in the community.
