Interacciones entre saneamiento, condiciones socioambientales y parasitosis infantil en ecosistemas rurales altoandinos: caso del río Pachanlica, Ecuador.

Abstract

Resumen Introducción: La parasitosis infantil persiste como un problema sanitario en comunidades rurales altoandinas, donde las condiciones ambientales y las limitaciones en saneamiento favorecen la transmisión fecal-oral. Este estudio aborda la problemática en la microcuenca del río Pachanlíca, Ecuador. Objetivo: Evaluar la prevalencia de parásitos intestinales en niños y determinar los factores socioambientales asociados al riesgo sanitario infantil. Métodos: Se analizaron muestras fecales de 112 niños mediante métodos coproparasitoscópicos directos y técnicas de concentración, complementadas con la caracterización de condiciones higiénico-sanitarias del entorno. Resultados: Se identificó parasitosis en 84 niños (75 %). Predominaron Entamoeba coli (57,14 %) y Giardia lamblia (21,43 %), seguidas de Entamoeba histolytica (27,38 %) y otras especies comensales. Los grupos más afectados fueron los de 4 y 5 años. Los hallazgos señalan transmisión fecal-oral activa relacionada con deficiencias en saneamiento, higiene doméstica y factores estructurales y educativos. Conclusiones: La parasitosis infantil en zonas altoandinas responde a la interacción de condiciones ambientales, sociales y sanitarias. Se requieren estrategias integrales que incluyan educación comunitaria, mejoras en saneamiento básico y fortalecimiento de la vigilancia epidemiológica
