Bartonella bacilliformis bartonelosis enfermedad de Carrión Bartonella bacilliformi Bartonellosis Carrion’s disease |
| description |
Introduction: Bartonellosis is a prevalent disease in Andean valleys of Peru, typically in endemic areas such as Ancash, Cajamarca, Junín, and Amazonas. However, in the past few years, new endemic areas have been identified, such as the Sacred Valley of the Incas in Cusco. Objective: To describe knowledge, attitude and practices regarding Bartonellosis in persons living in Ollantaytambo District, Urubamba Province in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, Cusco-Peru, July 2004. Materials and Methods: A knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) survey was conducted in 280 persons from ten communities identified as being at risk for Bartonellosis in Ollantaytambo. A score was used to identify knowledge levels in three categories. Results: We found that 151/280 persons (53.94%) had advanced (level III) knowledge, that in case of feeling sick, 228/242 (94.21%) residents would go to the health care center, and that 32.02% (92/242) do not practice any activity to prevent Bartonellosis. Conclusions: More than half of people living in the surveyed areas adequately recognize basic aspects regarding Bartonellosis and the vector involved in its transmission. Most people do not know preventive measures against; therefore, they do not practice such activities. However, they have a favorable attitude for preventing the disease. |

Sin embargo, en los últimos años se han identificado nuevas zonas endémicas como el Valle Sagrado de los Incas, en el Cusco. Objetivo: describir los conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas sobre la bartonelosis aguda (BA) o fiebre de la Oroya (FO), en pobladores del distrito de Ollantaytambo, provincia de Urubamba, Valle Sagrado de los Incas, en el departamento del Cusco en julio del año 2004. Material y método: se realizó un estudio descriptivo de conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas (CAP), utilizando como instrumento una encuesta. Ésta se aplicó a 280 pobladores de diez comunidades en riesgo para bartonelosis aguda o fiebre de la Oroya. Se elaboró una clave de respuestas para determinar el nivel de conocimientos que se clasificó en tres niveles. Resultados: encontramos que, 151/280 (53,94%) pobladores pertenecían al nivel III (avanzado); en caso de presentar sintomatología, 228/242 (94,21%) acudirían a la posta médica; y que 32,02% (92/242) no realiza ninguna medida preventiva. Conclusiones: más de la mitad reconoce de manera óptima aspectos elementales sobre la bartonelosis y el vector que la transmite. La población en su mayoría desconoce qué medidas preventivas son efectivas para evitar la enfermedad, por lo tanto no las practica. Paralelamente la población tiene actitudes favorables para prevenir la enfermedad.Colegio Médico del Perú2018-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://amp.cmp.org.pe/index.php/AMP/article/view/2615ACTA MEDICA PERUANA; Vol. 25 No. 2 (2008); 58-62ACTA MEDICA PERUANA; Vol. 25 Núm. 2 (2008); 58-621728-59171018-8800reponame:Acta Médica Peruanainstname:Colegio Médico del Perúinstacron:CMPspahttps://amp.cmp.org.pe/index.php/AMP/article/view/2615/1519Copyright (c) 2023 ACTA MEDICA PERUANAinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:amp.cmp.org.pe:article/26152023-07-06T05:52:26Z |
