Abstract

Introducción: la meningitis puede ocurrir a cualquier edad y en individuos previamente sanos; concierne a la inflamación de las meninges por bacterias piógenas. La enfermedad meningocócica bacteriana prevalece en todo el mundo y constituye una emergencia médica con una alta morbilidad y mortalidad. Objetivo: evaluar la sintomatología de la enfermedad meningocócica en Ecuador. Método: se realizó una investigación de tipo cualicuantitativa, se llevó a cabo una revisión bibliográfica exhaustiva en buscadores bibliográficos con la búsqueda de palabras claves: enfermedad meningocócica por bacteria infecciosa. Se estudió el universo constituido por 151 pacientes afectados. Las variables edad en años de los afectados, factores de riesgo dependientes y síntomas presentes permitió a los autores plantear las conclusiones. Resultados: el 56,30 % de la población es de sexo masculino, con una edad promedio de aproximadamente 10 meses. El 63,58 % población de estudio es menor de 1 año de edad, la cantidad de síntomas presentados fue variable, del 11 % con 4 o más síntomas y el 47 % con un síntoma. La mala higiene en las personas se presentó en un 35,20 %. La sintomatología está relacionada con el consumo de caracoles y agua sin hervir. Conclusiones: la enfermedad meningocócica ocasiona daños a nivel del cerebro y medula espinal y su número de infecciones ha incrementado en los últimos años. La limpieza inadecuada de los alimentos supone un riesgo para adquirir la enfermedad. Los síntomas más frecuentes son: afectación neurológica, convulsiones, vómitos y náuseas, además la presencia de eosinófilos en sangre y líquido cefalorraquídeo.
