Objective: To describe the epidemiological trends during 2015 -2016 of three of the most important arthropod-borne virus infections occurred in the country in recent years: Zika, Dengue and Chikunguña. Materials and Methods: A descriptive study, in which the behavior of these diseases is analyzed from bulletins of the National Institute of Health, during the fifty-two epidemiological weeks of 2016. Results: In 2016, 103.822 cases were reported in the country Dengue (49.9% ♀), 19.566 of Chikunguña (63.3% ♀) and 106.559 of Zika (66.4% ♀). The most affected population was in the range of 25 to 39 years-old, but significant differences in the average age of the three conditions (p<0.05) were observed. Most reports about Zika infection were based on clinical diagnosis. Conclusions: Implementation of mechanisms that allows a better understanding of the etiology and clinical behavior of these diseases by health actors is required.
El objetivo del trabajo fueestablecer el perfil epidemiológico de los intentos de suicidio por sustancias químicas en Colombia, durante el período 2007-2013. Para ello, se llevó a cabo un estudio descriptivo transversal, con datos del sistema de vigilancia en salud pública SIVIGILA por intoxicaciones con sustancias químicas 2007-2013. Se encontró que el 55% de los casos en los 7 años de estudio, corresponde al género femenino. El 73% de casos se presenta desde los 10 hasta los 29 años, con mayor concentración (31%) en el grupo de 15 a 19. Por pertenencia étnica el Negro, Mulato y Afro Colombiano muestra un alto número de casos desde 2007 a 2009 y los indígenas muestran una tendencia ascendente desde el 2011 hasta 2013. La mayoría de las personas que intentan suicidarse son solteros (58%), tienen un nivel de escolaridad secundaria (50%) y viven en cabecera municipal. Aproximadamente el 0,05% de las mujeres que intentaron quitarse la vida, estaban en estado de embarazo. En conclusión, se encontró una importante incidencia de intentos de suicidio con sustancias químicas, y para analizarlo deben tenerse en cuenta las características socioculturales de las regiones y los grupos poblacionales que componen la nación colombiana
in both sexes. In our analysis we used descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test. Results: In 1990, standardized mortality in men 45-59 was the highest in fSU (n=15) 358.69/100,000, the lowest rate was found in WE (n=17) 143.67/100,000. It significantly decreased to 244.99/100,000 (-31.70%, n=11) and 50.29/100,000 (-65.00%, n=15) by 2014 respectively (p,0.05). In 1990, standardized mortality in women 45-59 was the highest in fSU (n=15) 99.78/100,000, the lowest rate was found in WE (n=17) 29.06/100,000. It significantly decreased to 56.26/100,000 (-43.61%, n=11) and 9.89/100,000 (-65.97%, n=15) by 2014 respectively (p,0.05). Mortality also decreased significantly (p,0.001) among men (-49.41%) and women (-50.57%) in EE between 1990 and 2014. Conclusions: A significant decline was detected in standardized mortality of IHD in both sexes aged 45-59 between the assessed time period. The highest improvement was observed in Western-European countries.
