| dc.description | ABSTRACT: A descriptive study was carried out in 104 patients with Plasmodium vivax malaria, from the region of Turbo (Antioquia, Colombia). Clinical features and levels of hemoglobin, glycemia, serum bilirubin, alanine-aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate-aminotransferase (AST), creatinine and complete blood cell profile were established. 65% of the studied individuals were men and their mean age was 23. Of all individuals 59% had lived in the region for > 1 year and 91% were resident in the rural area. 42% were farmers and 35% had a history of malaria. The mean parasitaemia was 5865 parasites/mm³. The evolution of the disease was short (average of 4.0 days). Fever, headache and chills were observed simultaneously in 91% of the cases while the most frequent signs were palmar pallor (46%), jaundice (15%), hepatomegaly (17%), and spleen enlargement (12%). Anemia was found in 39% of the women and in 51% of the men, 8% of individuals had thrombocytopaenia and 41% had hypoglycemia. | |
| dc.description | RESUMEN: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo con 104 enfermos de malaria por Plasmodium vivax, en Turbo (Antioquia, Colombia). Se evaluaron las características clínicas y los niveles de hemoglobina, glicemia, bilirrubina sérica, ALT, AST, creatinina y hemograma completo. Los hombres representaron el 65% del grupo, la edad promedio fue 23 años, el 59% tuvo más de un año de residir en el lugar, el 91% residían en zona rural, el 42% realizaba trabajos agrícolas y el 35% tenía antecedentes de malaria. La parasitemia promedio fue de 5865 parásitos/mm³. La evolución de la enfermedad fue corta (mediana de 4,0 días). Fiebre, cefalea y escalofrío estuvieron simultáneamente en 91% de los casos y los signos más frecuentes fueron palidez palmar (46%), ictericia (15%), hepatomegalia (17%) y esplenomegalia (12%). La anemia se encontró en el 39% de las mujeres y en el 51% de los hombres, y el 8% presentó trombocitopenia. Los niveles séricos de bilirrubinas directa e indirecta, de enzimas ALT y AST y de creatinina se encontraron, en general, normales. El 41% de los pacientes tuvo hipoglicemia. | |
