Parasitosis intestinal y anemia en habitantes de los barrios La Chorrera, Sayo, La Floresta, Paquisha, Challipaccha y El Gallo, parroquia Santiago, Loja

Parasitic diseases constitute a public health problem because they are distributed throughout the world and cause significant morbidity and mortality. In Ecuador, intestinal parasitic disease is the third most frequent disease; occupying 80% of the rural population and 40% of the marginal urban area. Anemia is also an important public health problem, it is estimated that 30% of the world's population suffers from it, with rural populations being the most affected. Because there is no evidence of studies conducted in the Santiago parish; it was considered to study the cases of parasitosis and its relation with anemia; the incidence of intestinal parasitosis and classify the degree of anemia. The type of study is descriptive with a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional research design. The research was carried out in 6 neighborhoods of the Santiago parish. 87 participants were studied, in whom blood and stool samples were collected for analysis; obtaining 72 positive cases of parasitosis (82.8%); of which 43 were women (59.72%) and 29 men (40.27%). There is a higher incidence of parasitosis of Entamoeba histolytica cysts (75%), followed by Entamoeba coli cysts (25%). Classifying the degree of anemia according to hemoglobin values, 7 cases of mild anemia (8.00%) and 3 cases of moderate anemia (3.4%) were obtained. The Chi-square statistical test was used to establish the relationship between the incidence of intestinal parasitosis and the degree of anemia, concluding that there is no significant statistical relationship between them. Keywords: Clinical signs, hemoglobin, Incidence, correlation.
