Se estudiaron prospectivamente veinte casos de infecciones por Diphyllobothrium pacificum (tenia de pez) para determinar si esta asociada con anemia megaloblástica, como se informa comúnmente para las infecciones por D. latum. Los síntomas más frecuentes fueron fatiga y dolor abdominal leve, que se identificaron en aproximadamente el 66,6% de los 18 pacientes entrevistados. Catorce pacientes recibieron tratamiento con niclosamida y todos se curaron. Los otros seis pacientes eliminaron espontáneamente las tenias. Un paciente, que también tenía diabetes crónica y atrofia gástrica, tenía niveles bajos de vitamina B12 y anemia megaloblástica. En todos los demás pacientes, incluidos otros tres pacientes con anemia, los niveles basales de vitamina B12 estaban en el rango de referencia y no cambiaron significativamente cuando se los reevaluó tres meses después. A diferencia de D. ...

Peru had the second-highest number of COVID-19 cases in Latin America. After the first wave, Peru registered more than 900,000 cases of COVID-19 and more than 36,000 confirmed deaths from the disease. Tumbes, a border area with poor sanitation and not enough water, had the fifth highest death rate. The cross-sectional analytic study aimed: a) to assess seroprevalence of COVID-19 after the first wave; b) to assess sociodemographic determinants and symptoms associated with a positive COVID-19 antibody lateral flow test.

During the first wave, COVID-19 had devastating effects on developing countries like Peru, which reported more than 900,000 cases of the disease and more than 36,000 confirmed deaths from it. The informal settlements are counted in COVID-19 regional statistics, but they are very different from the rest of the region in terms of sanitation, access to water and sewage, housing conditions, and others. To make good decisions about public health, it is important to understand how the disease is spread in informal settlements. We did an observational, cross-sectional study in Puerto Pizarro, a remote port village in Tumbes, from November 11, 2020, to November 30, 2020, to assess the seroprevalence of COVID-19 after the first wave, as well as the sociodemographic factors and symptoms linked to a positive COVID-19 antibody lateral flow test. 1391 people older than 2 years old were given census a...

Rickettsiae are a family of ectoparasite-borne bacteria that can produce high morbidity and mortality among humans. There are scarce data on rickettsial ecology in rural areas of the Peruvian Amazon basin, where seroprevalence has not been determined, and the identities of animals acting as reservoirs of these bacteria are not known. We conducted a cross-sectional study in Zungarococha (between 2019 and 2021), a rural community located approximately 20 km away from Iquitos city. Blood samples were collected from humans (175), dogs (123), and cats (12). Blood samples and tissues were collected from black rats (84). Finally, we collected fleas from dogs and cats (222), ticks from dogs (91), and mites from black rats (32). Blood samples from humans, dogs, cats, and black rats were analyzed by indirect immunofluorescence assays (IFA) to detect IgG antibodies against rickettsias. We screened ...
