COMPORTAMIENTO EPIDEMIOLÓGICO DE LA LEPTOSPIROSIS HUMANA Y ANIMAL EN LA PROVINCIA DE VILLA CLARA, CUBA

Abstract

El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo determinar el comportamiento epidemiologico de la Leptospirosis humana y animal en la provincia de Villa Clara, Cuba. Se tomaron datos retrospectivos mensuales de casos confirmados y muertes por leptospirosis humana y animal por un periodo de 11 anos y 7 anos, respectivamente. Se constato que la infeccion por Leptospira en la poblacion humana y animal tiende a la disminucion. Los brotes epidemicos de Leptospirosis humana y animal fueron mas frecuentes en los meses lluviosos. El sexo masculino, el color de piel blanca y el residir en zonas rurales mostro un mayor riesgo de infeccion para la poblacion humana con razones de prevalencias de 2,54 (IC [Intervalo de confianza]: 1,55-4,16), 4,75 (IC: 2,28 – 9,86) y 2,15 (IC: 1,19-3,91), respectivamente. El 99% (242/245) de los casos de Leptopirosis animal se presento en la especie canina. La Leptospirosis humana y animal en la provincia de Villa Clara es endemica, tiende a la disminucion y posee una presentacion ciclica estacional con brotes epidemicos en los meses de verano y otono, y periodos inter-epidemicos bianuales. Constituyen factores de riesgos asociados a la infeccion humana el sexo (masculino), el color de la piel (blanca) y la zona de residencia (rural). La Leptospirosis canina tiene caracteristicas similares a Leptospirosis humana por lo que pudiera servir como un modelo de estudio.
