description Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Article 2013 PeruPublisher:Wiley Authors: Carlo, Briones-Chávez; Hernando, Torres-Zevallos; Marco, Canales; Caroline M, Stamato; +2 AuthorsCarlo, Briones-Chávez; Hernando, Torres-Zevallos; Marco, Canales; Caroline M, Stamato; Thomas G, O'Riordan; Angélica, Terashima;Objective To compare prevalences of intestinal helminths and waterborne protozoa in indigenous and settler populations in a remote area of Peru. These populations live in adjacent but segregated small urban villages. Methods Stool samples were collected from representative members of these two populations and analysed for geohelminths and protozoa. Results The risk of soil-transmitted helminths is significantly higher in the settler than the indigenous population in the same isolated region of Peru (OR 5.18; 95% CI 3.44–7.81; P < 0.001). In contrast, the rates of protozoa presence were similar in both populations (OR 1.28; 95% CI 0.77–2.14; P = 0.336). Conclusions Potential explanations for unexpected finding of a lower prevalence of helminths in indigenous relative to the settler population could include housing design in flood – prone areas and the use of local medicinal plants that possibly have antihelmintic properties. Objectif Comparer les prevalences des helminthiases intestinales et des protozoaires aquatiques dans les populations autochtones et recentes dans une zone reculee du Perou.

Methodes Des echantillons de selles ont ete recueillis aupres des membres representatifs de ces deux populations et analyses pour les geohelminthes et les protozoaires. Resultats Le risque de geohelminthiases est significativement plus eleve chez les populations recentes que chez les autochtones dans la meme region isolee du Perou (OR: 5,18; IC95%: 3,44 a 7,81, P < 0,001).

Conclusions Les raisons de ces resultats inattendus pourraient etre la conception des logements dans les zones inondables et l'utilisation de plantes medicinales locales ayant peut-etre des proprietes vermifuges. Objetivo Comparar las prevalencias de helmintos intestinales y protozoos acuaticos en poblaciones indigenas y de colonos en areas remotas del Peru. Estas poblaciones viven en pequenas poblaciones urbanas, adyacentes pero segregadas. Metodos Se recolectaron muestras de heces de miembros representativos de estas dos poblaciones y se analizaron en busca de geohelmintos y protozoos. Resultados El riesgo de helmintiasis transmitida por tierra es significativamente mayor entre las poblaciones de colonos que entre los indigenas de la misma region aislada del Peru (OR 5.18; IC 95% 3.44–7.81; P < .001). En contraste, las tasas de presencia de protozoos eran similares en ambas poblaciones (OR 1.28; IC 95% 0.77–2.14; P = 0.336). Conclusiones Las razones de estos hallazgos inesperados podrian ser el diseno de las casas en areas con tendencia a las inundaciones y el uso de plantas medicinales locales que podrian tener propiedades antihelminticas.

SummaryMucocutaneous leishmaniasis (MCL) is an important health problem in many rural areas of Latin America, but there are few data on the results of programmatic approaches to control the disease. We report the results of a control programme in San Martin de Pangoa District, which reports one of the highest prevalences of MCL in Peru. For 2 years (2001–2002), the technicians at the health post were trained in patient case management, received medical support and were supplied with antimonials. An evaluation after 2 years showed the following main achievements: better diagnosis of patients, who were confirmed by microscopy in 34% (82/240) of the cases in 2001 and 60% of the cases (153/254) in 2002; improved follow‐up during treatment: 237 of 263 (90%) patients who initiated an antimonial therapy ended the full treatment course; improved follow‐up after treatment: 143 of 237 (60%) patients who ended their full treatment were correctly monitored during the required period of 6 (cutaneous cases) or 12 (mucosal cases) months after the end of treatment. These achievements were largely due to the human and logistical resources made available, the constant availability of medications and the close collaboration between the Ministry of Health, a national research institute and an international non‐governmental organization. At the end of this period, the health authorities decided to register a generic brand of sodium stibogluconate, which is now in use. This should allow the treatment of a significant number of additional patients, while saving money to invest in other facets of the case management.
