Caracterización clínico-diagnóstica de enteroparásitos en niños con desnutrición en países latinoamericanos.

ABSTRACT: In Latin America, one of the most important causes of mortality in the child population is the set of intestinal parasites since they are highly prevalent, affecting the health and well-being of this population and causing malnutrition. This clear impact is often hided by diagnostic difficulties given by the non-specificity of the symptoms or low parasitic loads. This research aims to carry out a meta-analysis of the clinical characteristics and procedures of the identification techniques of enteroparasites in children of the Latin American continent through a bibliographic review of existing publications. This research is retrospective, where several bibliographic sources from different databases such as Elsevier, Scielo, academic Google, web pages such as the World Health Organization, and digital documents were reserached. From the analysis of the coproparasitic studies obtained, data on diagnostic techniques and the prevalence of enteroparasites were obtained. It was concluded that the coproparasitic diagnosis is generally carried out with direct examination because it is simple, specific, and economical, the best-known concentration techniques are Kato-Katz, Ritchie, and Willis, but they are few used. The populations of rural and marginal urban areas are the most affected since they do not have a good socioeconomic status, so an environment more conducive to the growth of enteroparasites that cause malnutrition in the affected population will be generated. The most frequent enteric parasite in low-lying rural areas was Ascaris lumbricoides; in urban areas, it was Trichuris Trichiura.
