Medical personnel run the risk of contracting infectious diseases caused by physical, microbiological and chemical agents because they are directly exposed to risk factors such as the presence of pathogens in the environment; For this reason, this article derives from research carried out in four hospital centers in the department of Santander (Colombia) that seeks to identify the most common fungal microorganisms, bacterial microorganisms that can transmit diseases through the enteral, respiratory, dermal and blood routes, the microorganisms that can cause lung infections, wound contamination (abscesses), folliculitis, cellulitis and otitis, among others, in operating room workers, as well as determining the most appropriate disinfection protocols and possible control strategies, determining the measures aimed at monitoring, containment and elimination of these sources of contamination.
El proceso de fabricación del calzado, suele exponer a los trabajadores a sustancias químicas tóxicas, como Compuestos Orgánicos Volátiles (COV), por largos periodos de tiempo (Rubiano et al 2002), de forma ocupacional y ambiental, lo que puede causar la aparición de neoplasias malignas en una amplia variedad de órganos y tejidos, como por ejemplo el cáncer de pulmón (inducido por el asbesto), de vejiga (por los colorantes de anilina) y la leucemia por el benceno como lo refieren Esquiaqui et al., 2012; Zuluaga et al., 2009 y Partanen, et al., 2009, convirtiéndose en el objetivo de nuestro estudio en trabajadores del calzado en Bucaramanga, Colombia.
