| dc.description | RESUMEN: En Colombia, la leishmaniasis visceral (LV) es de predominio rural, en áreas determinadas de algunos departamentos de la Región Caribe y en el valle medio del río Magdalena. Una niña de un año de edad, del área urbana de Cartagena, presentó síntomas de hepato-esplenomegalia, anemia, leucopenia y desnutrición; ella no había estado en áreas de riesgo para LV, tuvo pruebas serológicas positivas, reversó síntomas con Glucantime, y luego de tres meses postratamiento su leishmanina fue positiva. Identificar la presencia de vectores, reservorios y condiciones ambientales para la transmisión de LV en el área del caso confirmado. Se realizaron estudios epidemiológicos, clínicos, inmunológicos y moleculares para buscar otros pacientes, reservorios y vectores. El área de estudio presentó condiciones que favorecen la transmisión de la enfermedad. No se encontraron otros niños enfermos. Siete personas adultas tuvieron resultado reactivo a la Prueba Intradérmica de Montenegro, indicando contacto previo con el parásito, y dentro de su vivienda se capturó Lu. evansi. En un canino y en un Didelphis marsupialis se confirmó por laboratorio la infección por Leishmania infantum. Se demostró un foco urbano y nuevo de LV en Colombia que debe ser objeto de acciones regulares de salud pública. | |
| dc.description | ABSTRACT: In Colombia, Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) is predominant in rural areas of the Caribbean and MagdalenaRiver Valley regions. A one year old female inhabitant of an urban zone in the city of Cartagena displayedsymptoms of hepato/splenomegaly, anemia, leucopenia and malnutrition. She had not visited endemicareas for VL but tested positive for VL serologically. After treatment with Glucantime , her symptomsdisappeared; however, three months later, her Montenegro test came out positive. To identify the presence of VL vectors and reservoirs, and also environmental conditions suitable for VL transmission in the areaof the reported VL case. There were carried out epidemiological, clinical, immunological and molecularstudies to look for other people infected with VL. Also it was searched for VL reservoirs and vectors in thearea. The study area presented environmental conditions suitable for VL transmission. No infected childrenwere found, but seven adults had positive Montenegro tests, suggesting exposure to the parasite in this area.Additionally, the VL vector speciesLu. evansiwas found inside some of these people’s homes. Finally, adomestic dog and aD. marsupialisindividual were also found to be infected withLeishmania infantum,confirmed by laboratory. It was demonstrated the presence of a new urban VL scenario in Colombia, whichshould be object of public health surveillance and acts in the studied area | |
