EVIDENCIA HEMATOLÓGICA Y SEROLÓGICA DE Ehrlichia spp EN PROPIETARIOS DE CANINOS DOMÉSTICOS CON ANTECEDENTES DE EHRLICHIOSIS EN LIMA METROPOLITANA

Abstract: The aim of this study was determine the frequency of seropositivity to a Ehrlichia canis in human subjects by indirect inmunofluorescent test (IFI), hematological changes and its association with risk factors such as age, gender, level of contact with dogs, and tick exposure. Ninety-one samples were collected from patients without reference to gender, age and socioeconomic status, but whose dogs had history of ehrlichiosis within six months to the sampling. The study was conducted between February and May 2010… Show more

“…Ehrlichiosis has been reported in dogs [626, 645] as well as in humans, here in form of seropositivity to E. canis and E. chaffeensis [222, 645, 646]. A survey of a small cohort of dogs showed a molecular prevalence of 44% for E. canis [645] and a seroprevalence of 16.5% for E. canis in a population of 140 dogs [626].…”

“…3 En América del Sur, estudios de seroprevalencia en dueños de caninos domésticos con erliquiosis reportan serología positiva en 1.2% en Brasil, 14.3% en Argentina, 10.5% en Chile y 30% en Venezuela. 9 Ríos y colaboradores realizaron un estudio descriptivo, prospectivo de cohorte transversal en el que estudiaron la presencia de anticuerpos séricos tipo IgM por técnica de inmunofluorescencia indirecta (IFI) en trabajadores del campo del departamento de Sucre, Colombia, encontrándose una prevalencia de 3.3% en ordeñadores y jornaleros. 3 El primer caso de erliquiosis en Colombia se publicó en 2014 por Hidrón y colaboradores, se trata de un hombre de 19 años, residente en la costa pacífica colombiana, militar, quien se presentó con fiebre, falla respiratoria, insuficiencia renal y coagulopatía, se le hizo el diagnóstico por serología (IgM 1:160).…”

“…La anamnesis, el examen físico del paciente, datos epidemiológicos, comprobar la presencia de garrapatas son importantes para determinar la presencia de la enfermedad. Sin embargo, el diagnóstico clínico es difícil, debido a que los signos iniciales generalmente son inespecíficos (Barrios, et, al. 2013).…”
