MATERIAL AND METHODS: A case-control trial with patients admitted to the Hospital Militar Central of Lima, 31 of them were diagnosed as having ReA between 1994 and 1995 (control group) and 31 ReA-free patients. Data were obtained from medical records. RESULTS: In the case group, 11 patients (35,48%) had intestinal parasites; 12 (38,71%) presented albendazol- and/or metronidazol-sensitive eosinophilia decreasing with clinical improvement after treatment; and 8 (25,81%) had neither parasites diseases nor eosinophilia. In the control group, the distribution was 7 (22,58%), 5 (16,13%) and 19 patients (61,29%), respectively. CONCLUSION: We found a strong correlation between intestinal parasitic infestations and ReA (OR = 4,5; p <0,05), and parasitic infections may have a synergic arthritogenic effect. Ascaris lumbricoides (7/11) and Ancylostoma duodenale (5/11) were the commonest parasites.OBJETIVO: Determinar la asociación causal entre parasitosis intestinal y artritis reactiva (ARe). MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Estudio de casos y controles. El grupo de casos comprendió 31 pacientes con diagnóstico de ARe internados en el Hospital Militar Central de Lima durante los años 1994-1995. El grupo control abarcó a 31 pacientes sin ARe. La información se recogió de las historias clínicas que correspondían tanto a personal civil como militar. RESULTADOS: En el grupo de casos, 11 pacientes (35,48%) tuvieron parasitosis intestinal; 12 pacientes (38,71%) presentaron eosinofilia que remitió con albendazol y/o metronidazol, con mejoría evidente del cuadro clínico; y 8 pacientes (25,81%) no tuvieron parasitosis ni eosinofilia. En el grupo control la proporción fue 7 (22,58%), 5 (16,13%) y 19 pacientes (61,29%), respectivamente. CONCLUSIÓN: Existe una fuerte asociación entre la exposición a parásitos intestinales y ARe (OR = 4,5; p <0,05), pudiendo existir un sinergismo en el efecto artritogénico debido a poliparasitismo. Los parásitos más frecuentemente hallados fueron Ascaris lumbricoides (7/11) y Ancylostoma duodenale (5/11).Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Facultad de Medicina Humana1999-03-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistasinvestigacion.unmsm.edu.pe/index.php/anales/article/view/451110.15381/anales.v60i1.4511Anales de la Facultad de Medicina; Vol. 60 No. 1 (1999); 49-54Anales de la Facultad de Medicina; Vol. 60 Núm. 1 (1999); 49-541609-94191025-5583reponame:Revistas - Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcosinstname:Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcosinstacron:UNMSMspahttps://revistasinvestigacion.unmsm.edu.pe/index.php/anales/article/view/4511/3592Derechos de autor 1999 Octavio Feijóo Quirozhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.csi.unmsm:article/45112020-04-13T20:49:50Z
