ASCARIDIASIS ERRÁTICA EN CONVIVENCIA SILENCIOSA: A PROPÓSITO DE UN CASO

Abstract

La parasitosis es uno de los grandes problemas de salud pública; estrechamente ligada a la pobreza y la inadecuada higiene personal y de la manipulación de los alimentos. Se presenta el caso clínico único de una paciente que ingresa al servicio de Medicina Interna del Hospital Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso, Cuba. Con decaimiento marcado no relacionado a los esfuerzos físicos y epigastralgia ocasional. Teniendo en cuenta los aspectos clínicos y sociales se le realizó un programa de estudio en busca de las posibles causas etiológicas de dicho cuadro. Se confirmó que, a pesar de estudios de heces fecales negativas, los estudios imagenológicos condujeron en una primera instancia al diagnóstico de ascariasis errática. Evidenciándose que las determinantes sociales juegan un papel importante en el diagnóstico de enfermedades, a pesar de los estudios de laboratorio que no dejan de tener valor en el mismo.

Parasitosis is one of the major public health problems, closely linked to poverty and inadequate personal and food hygiene. We present the unique clinical case of a patient admitted to the Internal Medicine Department of the Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso Hospital, Cuba. She presented marked weakness unrelated to physical exertion and occasional epigastric pain. Taking into account the clinical and social aspects, a study program was carried out to search for possible etiological causes of this condition. It was confirmed that, despite negative stool studies, imaging studies initially led to the diagnosis of ascariasis errata. This demonstrates that social determinants play an important role in the diagnosis of diseases, despite laboratory studies, which are still valuable.
