In Ecuador, the prevalence is around 11-13% of patients with positive results. For this reason, the objective of this research is to know the prevalence of the Group B Streptococcus Beta test (Agalactiae) in 35-37 week pregnant women from the “Loja Salud” Medical Center, period 2016-2018. This study was descriptive, retrospective, cross sectional with a quantitative approach. All women aged between 18 and 35 years old were selected who turned up to the “Loja Salud” Medical Center, with a sample of 147 patients, who 40 women underwent the Beta Hemolytic Streptococcal test (vagina-rectal) the following results were obtained: 97% (n = 39) of negative cases and 3% (n= 1) of positive cases. It was evident that the most frequent age group are between 18 and 23 years old representing a 55% (n= 22), followed by women between 24 and 29 years old who represent 32,5% (n= 13) and only 12,5% (n= 5) of women between 30 and 35 years old who undergo the test. The therapeutic measures that were indicated were in base of an antibiotic sensibility that was performed which was 100% to the penicillin and cefazolin. These results make evident the presence of GBS which results in a worldwide and national problem. Studies at regional level are necessary to establish the prevalence of the bacterium at time and at this manner prevent infections in newborn. Key words: Streptococcus Agalactiae (GBS), vaginal-rectal culture, neonatal sepsis, vaginal delivery. |
