Measles, considered one of the most contagious transmissible infections due to its high potential epidemic risk of transmission, remains a focus of concern in the world due to the increase in cases and its consequent morbidity and mortality. The rash usually starts on the face, and in a centrifugal way it spreads to the trunk and extremities. Although the disease determines a strong humoral and cellular immune response stimulating specific immunity for life, it produces at the same time an important immunosuppression that lasts several weeks increasing the susceptibility to secondary infections. Measles was considered eliminated from the Americas since 2002 because to the absence of endemic transmission of the disease in the region; achievement achieved by regional efforts to achieve high vaccination coverage through regular immunization programs and mass vaccination campaigns. However, ...

Between 2000 and 2017, the number of international migrants was 173 to 258 million, representing a 49% increase in this period. In America, since October 2018, the migratory flow of nearly three million Venezuelans has been intensified; with about 1.7 million migrants(representing about 70% of the migration) being received in the countries of Colombia, Peru and Ecuador. In Peru since 2016, the flow of Venezuelans to the country has increased, from 6,615 residents in that year to 728,120 at the end of March 2019, being the most important migratory wave of the 21st century in Peru, turning it into the second country in the world to host the largest number of immigrant Venezuelans after Colombia. Currently, Venezuelans constitute the biggest foreign community in Peru.

On January 30, 2020, with more than 9,700 confirmed cases in China, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak to be a public health emergency of international concern. At the end of January, the National Center for Epidemiology, Prevention and Control of Diseases (CDC-Peru) of the Ministry of Health prepared the “National Plan of Preparation and Response to the Introduction of the coronavirus 2019-nCoV”, where one of the strategic components was strengthen the epidemiological response through mitigation actions that allow early identification of cases, diagnosis, follow-up of contacts and identification of people with risk conditions.

SARS-CoV-2 is the coronavirus that causes the COVID-19 pandemic and is made up of a rapidly evolving RNA. This virus presents continuous genomic mutations as it is transmitted. A major focus of current research on the genetics of SARS-CoV-2 is whether any of these mutations have the potential to significantly alter important viral properties, such as the mode or rate of transmission, or the ability to cause increased lethality. Important mutations have already been reported in the United Kingdom, where out of 25,000 genome sequencing, the D614G mutation was identified in SARS-CoV-2, a mutation that results in a displacement of aspartic acid with glycine at position 614 of the spike protein ( S) of the virus that, although it is true, are not associated with greater mortality or clinical severity due to COVID-19, but 614G is associated with a higher viral load and a younger age of the pat...

Introduction: In Peru, the presence of the Coastal Child Phenomenon produces floods and the appearance of diseases cyclically. Objective: To determine the risk factors for the presence of diseases in displaced populations in Piura due to the Nino Costero. Methods: Quantitative, longitudinal, analytical investigation of cases and controls with 544 families that were selected through a two-stage random sampling considering the proportion of families per block, area and cluster. For data collection, various diagnostic and monitoring instruments were used, such as that of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the health care base and the application of an instrument for mental health. Results: The analysis of the variation of care in two time periods at 3 and 9 months shows that there are statistically significant changes in these periods that...

Objective: To describe the prevalence of comorbidities in patients with endometriosis of childbearing age in the María Auxiliadora Hospital between 2008-2017.Objective: To describe the prevalence of comorbidities in patients with endometriosis of childbearing age in the María Auxiliadora Hospital between 2008-2017. Methods: A quantitative, observational and descriptive study was carried out. We worked from the database of patients who were diagnosed with endometriosis at the María Auxiliadora Hospital. Results: We found 66 clinical histories that had the definitive diagnosis of endometriosis, of which 60 were of childbearing age, which was divided into 3 age groups, 20 to 40 years with 34 patients and 41 to 50 years with 26 patients. . No patients were found in the group of 11 to 19 years. Comorbidity, in the fertile age group, with the highest prevalence was anemia, with 81...
