Estudo soroepidemiológico da cisticercose humana em Brasília, Distrito Federal

Abstract: Estudo soroepidemiológico realizado em Brasília evidenciou a presença de infecção pelo Cysticercus cellulosae, detectada pelos testes imunoenzimáticos Elisa e imunofluorescência indireta, em 5,2% dos 1122 indivíduos avaliados. Entre os 120 líquidos cefalorraqueanos examinados, provenientes de pacientes que apresentaram sinais sugestivos de neurocisticercose, 16,7% foram reagentes. A prevalência da sorologia reagentefoi 20,4% no grupo de doentes com a hipótese diagnostica de cisticercose, 3,5% no grupo de seus … Show more

“…Moreover, the relevance of cysticercosis as a public health problem is highlighted by local transmission (Sorvillo et al 2011). Human cysticercosis is acquired accidentally by the ingestion of T. solium eggs and its transmission is related to a lack of sanitation, bad personal hygiene and the inadequate disposal of human faeces (Vianna et al 1986, Huerta et al 2008, Flisser & Correa 2010.…”

“…Em estudo 26 soroepidemiológico em grupos naturais de diversas regiões do País foi observada positividade para cisticercose em 8,1% dos indivíduos do sudeste, 5,8% do nordeste, 5,3% do centrooeste e 3,5% do sul. Dos fatores epidemiológicos, a ausência de condições sanitárias nas residências, o maior contato com suíno, e o uso da água do rio constituíam os maiores riscos para contrair a neuroparasitose, sendo seu risco relativo de 3,1; 2,2; e 1,8; respectivamente.…”

“…Some idea of the real prevalence in different populations are given by sero-epidemiological studies 9,10,13,28. i n Mexico, the prevalence of cysticercosis was estimated to be 1.0%, based on the detection of anti-cysticercus antibodies by indirect immunofluorescence (IF) in 18,417 sera 9. Vianna et al 28 conducted a study in 1,122 patients, and observed a positive IF test or a positive ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) test for Cysticercus cellulosae in 5.2%. However, both works emphasize the regional variations of the prevalence of cysticercosis.…”
