Enteroparasitoses em gestantes e puérperas no Rio de Janeiro

Abstract

From November 1989 to May 1991

Variables associated to anti-HIV, anti-rubella antibodies, syphilis reagins and enteroparasitosis in pregnant women

“…When analyzing the three most frequent species, the results differ from the studies performed in the state of Pernambuco (PE), where the most frequent species found were Entamoeba histolytica (13.30%), A. lumbricoides (12.00%) and Trichuris trichiura (5.40%) (Souza et al, 2002). However, in Rio de Janeiro (RJ), the species detected were A. lumbricoides (15.50%), E. coli (9.00%) and T. trichiura (7.80%) (Macedo and Rey, 1996) and in São Paulo (SP), A. lumbricoides (19.00%), Ancilostomideos (16.70%) and T. trichiura (15.90%) (Guerra et al, 1991) were the most prevalent ones. However, the results in this study regarding the prevalence of species are similar to the work by Alba et al (2013) This difference in the number of infected pregnant women and also in the prevalent parasite species in the different studies and locations demonstrates the variation in relation to the deficit in education, basic sanitation and structure, as well as environmental and climate factors that might ease the survival and dissemination of parasites (Souza et al, 2002;Porta et al, 2014).…”

“…This result is lower than those found in other states in Brazil, such as Pernambuco (PE), where Souza et al (2002) found 37.00% positive pregnant women in the pre-natal outpatient clinic at the Instituto Materno Infantil (IMIP) and also in Rio de Janeiro (RJ), where Macedo and Rey (1996) found a prevalence of 37.60% in the pregnant women analyzed. The results of this study are also lower when compared to other countries in Latin America, since Alba et al (2013) in Bolivia and Acurero et al (2008) in Venezuela detected 22.52 and 65.90% respectively, of enteroparasites in pregnant women.…”

“…Studies have shown that, during pregnancy, infection with intestinal parasites can results in intrauterine growth Furthermore, enteroparasitosis can contribute anemia as well as deficiencies in iron, protein, folic acids and zinc, which can interfere with the course of pregnancy, leading to possible damages to the fetus (Macedo and Rey, 1996;Souza et al, 2002;Morales et al, 2006).…”

Prevalência de enteroparasitas em município do interior paulista

“…Entretanto, nas mesmas condições ambientais, postula-se que numa série de parasitos, que o decréscimo na ocorrência com o passar da idade, com baixas taxas de incidência e prevalência em adultos estariam condicionadas não só a uma mudança de hábitos, mas também ao desenvolvimento de imunidade progressiva e duradoura contra tais parasitas 15 .…”

“…A parasitose causada pelo A. lumbricoides é a helmintíase mais difundida no mundo, com alta prevalência nos países tropicais com inadequado saneamento básico 8,15,17 . Isso ocorre provavelmente porque a fêmea do parasito elimina grande quantidade de ovos a cada dia, possibilitando sua identificação por qualquer método diagnóstico, diferentemente de outros parasitos que necessitam de técnicas especiais para sua identificação, por serem eliminados de forma intermitente ou por ficarem depositados na mucosa retal, como o T. trichiura e o E. vermicularis 18 .…”
