“…Estos resultados son similares a lo encontrado por Rangel et al [18] en un estudio en Venezuela, en el que evidencian una población promedio de 188 ácaros/gramo de polvo en la superficie de colchones en el 82% de las casas muestreadas, a una altura de 2040-2600 metros sobre el nivel del mar (msnm), de alta humedad relativa y con predominancia de la especie Dermatophagoides sp. Para el caso de la localidad de Rafael Uribe Uribe (tabla 2), el piso presentó el mayor promedio de ácaros por gramo de polvo (36,59), con predominancia del Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (figura 2).…”

“…Incluso, otros estudios reportan que a humedades relativas que fluctúan entre 56 y 92%, el número de ácaros por gramo de polvo puede oscilar entre 140 y 250 [18]. De igual modo, en este último estudio, se propone que es suficiente una concentración de 100 ácaros/gramo de polvo para producir sensibilidad en pacientes susceptibles.…”

Resumen. Introducción: los ácaros son microrganismos que se encuentran presentes en el polvo común de los hogares y que, en la mayoría de las ocasiones, generan enfermedades de origen respiratorio y dermatológico. Esto afecta significativamente la calidad de vida y hace que esta problemática sea de interés en salud pública veterinaria, debido a la posible relación de los ácaros con la tenencia de animales. El objetivo general de este trabajo fue determinar la cantidad de ácaros intradomiciliarios/gramos de polvo en noventa hogares de tres localidades de Bogotá (Ciudad Bolívar, Rafael Uribe Uribe y San Cristóbal). Métodos: se basó en la recolección de muestras por medio de aspirados de colchones, almohadas y piso. Se trabajaron 30 hogares en las tres localidades mencionadas, para un total de 90 familias y 270 muestras de polvo. Resultados: por familia se condensaron en un formato establecido, en el cual se especificó la cantidad de ácaros por gramo de polvo obtenido. Posteriormente, los datos se analizaron con el uso de estadística descriptiva y medidas de tendencia central. Se encontró que la especie más determinante fue el Dermatophagoides pteronissynus con mayor porcentaje en almohadas (Ciudad Bolívar, 71,32%; Rafael Uribe Uribe, 69,66%, y San Cristóbal, 75%). Sin embargo, en colchones y piso también se evidenció una predominancia porcentual. Conclusiones: los mayores promedios de ácaros/gramo de polvo se encontraron en colchones de las localidades de Ciudad Bolívar (92,50) y San Cristóbal (617,49), mientras que en la de Rafael Uribe Uribe lo obtuvo el piso (36,59).Palabras clave: ácaros intradomiciliarios, calidad de vida, salud pública veterinaria. Finding House Dust Mites in 90 Homes in Three Districts of Bogota, ColombiaAbstract. Introduction: mites are microorganisms found in the common house dust, which in most cases cause respiratory and skin diseases. This has a significant impact on quality of life and turns this issue into a veterinary public health matter, given that house mites are potentially related to having pets. The general objective of this paper is to determine the amount of house mites/grams of dust in ninety homes in three areas of Bogota (Ciudad Bolivar, Rafael Uribe Uribe and San Cristobal). Methods: the methodology was based upon collecting samples by vacuuming mattresses, pillows and floors. Works were conducted in thirty houses in such areas, having a total of ninety families and 270 dust samples. Results: per family they were compiled in the stated form specifying the amount of dust mites per gram of dust. Then, the collected data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and measures of central tendency. The most determinant species was found to be the Dermatophagoides pteronissynus with the highest percentage found in pillows (Ciudad Bolivar, 71.32%; Rafael Uribe Uribe, 69.66%, and San Cristobal, 75%). However, mattresses and floors also showed a predominant percentage. Conclusions: the highest average of dust mites/grams of dust were found in the mattresses of Ciudad Bolivar (9...

“…Thus, 10 weeks in the Swiss Alps (1560 m) improved bronchial hyperreactivity even in severely asthmatic patients resistant to inhaled steroids. [6] On the contrary, in the HA environments of some South American countries, especially in the Andes of Colombia [22] Peru, [23] and Venezuela, [24] the prevalence of mites is high. Differences in the species and concentrations of mites among various places may be attributable to climatic features, especially humidity.…”

Alerjik solunum hastal›klar› genel bir halk sa¤l›¤› sorunudur. Çeflitli tedavi seçeneklerine ra¤men baz› hastalar tatmin edici bir iyileflme elde edemez. Yüksek rak›m, bu hasta grubu için do¤al bir ilave ve/veya kurtarma tedavisi seçene¤i sunmaktad›r.

AbstractAllergic respiratory diseases are common public health problem. Although several treatment options, some of patients cannot manage to get satisfactory recovery. High altitude (HA) is shown as a natural additive and/or salvage therapy option for this patient group. We aimed to present the effect of HA on allergic rhinitis and bronchial hyperreactivity in company with literature.
