    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Laboratorio Clínico, 2023-03-01) Montenegro Valverde, Julio César; Vilcacundo Cordova, Mario Fernando Lcdo. Mg.
    The aim of this research was to determine parasitosis and its relationship with anaemia and malnutrition in children between 5 and 9 years of age in the Santa Rosa parish of the Ambato canton, The parasites that cause these infections are helminths and protozoa, most frequently transmitted via the oral-fecal route when contaminated water or food is ingested. For this research, 100 samples of blood and faeces belongingto children aged 5 to 9 years were analysed, the blood sample was used to determine haemoglobin and the faeces sample to determine the presence of parasites using the Faust Flotation or Zinc Sulphate technique. Information was collected through the use of surveys together with the anthropometric data of each child. Of the total population, 47% of the children were found to be parasitized, of which 57% were found to be monoparasitized, while 43% were found to be polyparasitized; 19% had commensal parasites, and 81% had pathogenic parasites; protozoa accounted for 100% and helminths were absent. The parasites found in the research are: Blastocystis sp. 63%, Entamoeba coli cyst 19%, Endolimax nana cyst 11%, Giardia lamblia cyst 4%, Entamoeba complex cyst 4%. The prevalence of parasites found in the study coincides with other studies carried out in Ecuador.

    Intestinal parasitism are infections of the most prevalent in the poor and underdeveloped communities which are with a high predominant in children. This affects the development and growth in child population. So this produces clinical manifestations such as appetite loss, stomachache, dyspepsia, diarrhea, andmalabsorption. These cause malnutrition and anemia in patients. The objective of thissearching was determined the intestinal parasitism and its relation with malnutrition and anemia in children with ages from 5 to 9 years old in Picaihua parish and Ambato city. It was analyzed in 106 blood tests in order to measure the hemoglobin indices. The fecal test for testing the presence of parasites. For doing these tests it uses the flotation technique or Faust. It collects the information with a poll. The anthropometric data such as weight and height for the IMC calculation. A total of 106 samples analysed, the 75.7% shown parasites, besides, the population showed 60% of them as monoparasites and the 40% remain were polyparasites. The parasitesfound were Blastocysts spp. 43.1%, Entamoeba coli cyst 23.3%, Entamoeba complex cyst 15.5%, Endolimax nana cyst 12.9%, Chilomastix mesnili cyst 3.4%, Giardia lamblia cyst 0.9%, Hymenolepis nana eggs 0.9%.

    Infantile intestinal parasitosis negatively affects the proper development of children, especially in growth, nutrition and is reflected in the physical and intellectual capacity of infants. The objective of the project is to establish the relationship between the presence of intestinal parasites and the development of anemia and malnutrition in children from 5 to 9 years of age from the Augusto N. Martínez parish in Ambato city. In the selected sample size made up of a cohort of 100 children, 51% male and 49% female, the prevalence of intestinal parasitosis of 71% was evidenced, with 72% of children with pathogenic parasitic species and 28% with commensal parasites, 57% corresponded to protozoa and only 3% to helminths. The most frequent parasitic species was Blastocystis sp with 28%, followed by Endolimax nana 18%, Entamoeba coli 18%, Giardia lamblia 9% and Entamoeba complex 4%, Chilomastix mesnili 2%, Iodamoeba bütschlii 2% were also found, finally, two cases of Hymenolepis nana and one case of Trichuris trichiura. The analysis of fecal samples was carried out by coprological examination and the Faust technique, a blood sample was taken for the assessment of hemoglobin as an indicator of anemia. Through the chi-square it was determined that there is no association between parasitism and the development of anemia and malnutrition in the selected population.

    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Carrera de Laboratorio Clínico, 2023-03-08) Bustos Ramos, Kevin Ariel; Vilcacundo Córdova, Mario Fernando
    Intestinal diseases caused by parasites represent a problem worldwide, with children of school and preschool age being the population most susceptible to parasitic infections is usually due to poor hygiene habits at home, intake of poorly prepared food and water contaminated with fecal remains. The parasitic infections present in infants who are in full development will seriously compromise their state of health, their nutritional status, growth and cognitive development. The purpose of this project seeks to determine parasitosis and its relationship with anemia and malnutrition in children from 5 to 9 years of age in the parish of San Bartolomé de Pinllo in the canton of Ambato, for this purpose a total of 100 blood samples were analyzed in order to analyze the concentration of hemoglobin levels, As well as the study of feces samples for the identification and characterization of parasites through direct observation in fresh microscope and through the technique of flotation in zinc sulfate, the data and authorizations were obtained through the application of surveys, assents and informed consents, information was also collected from the anthropometric data of each individual. The parasitic prevalence was determined in 65% of the total population, thus evidencing that the children had at least one parasitic agent in their organism. Blastocystis sp was in parasite prevalent in the samples analyzed with 47%, while in a very small amount Hymenolepis nana was found with 1%, it is important to emphasize that the parasites evidenced mostly belong to the group of protozoa with 98%.

    Over time, older adults will be the most representative population that provides information on existing pathologies based on quality of life factors–sex, age, geographical location, type of diet, and body limitations, which are triggers for changes within the red series such as: hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular hemoglobin value, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration and mean corpuscular volume, with evidence in this type of population according to the study of the blood count as a routine examination that will allow the doctor to assess the diagnosis of a future anemia. It was conducted a systematic review in databases such as SciELO, PubMed, Redalyc, Elsevier, Dialnet, academic Google, among others as well as reports from the World Health Organization, the Pan American Health Organization, and the Ministry of Public Health of Ecuador with the key words "erythrocyte changes", "older adult", "anemia in the elderly" worldwide, Latin America, and Ecuador in order to gather a single context of the research works on the subject; describing the causes that these erythrocyte changes manifest in older adults. It concludes that the changes in the values obtained in both hemoglobin and hematocrit will be the most representative to consider anemia, with a predominance of normochromic normocytic anemia, associating chronic disorders and sociodemographic factors of the elderly. Therefore, the bibliographic review will serve as base for future research that proposes the study of the elderly and the red series.

    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Carrera de Laboratorio Clínico, 2022-09-01) Ramos Echeverría, Mauricio Gabriel; Pacha Jara, Ana Gabriela, Bqf. Mg.
    Intestinal parasites are the cause of most infections in humans, especially in school- age children, mainly affecting low-income communities in underdeveloped countries. These infections are caused by helminths and protozoa, most of which are transmitted by oral faecal transmission when contaminated food and water are ingested. The objective of this study was to determine parasitosis and its relationship with anaemia and malnutrition in children aged 5 to 9 years in the Quisapincha parish of Ambato. A total of 100 blood samples were analysed to determine haemoglobin levels and stool samples were analysed to identify the presence of parasites using the Faust or Zinc Sulphate Flotation technique. Information was collected by means of a survey together with anthropometric data for each child. Of the total population, 63% of the children were found to have parasites, 40% had monoparasitosis and 60% had polyparasitosis; 17% had commensal parasites, 83% had pathogenic parasites, 79% had protozoa and 21% had helminths. The parasites found were: Blastocystis sp.31 %, Entamoeba coli cyst 20% together with Endolimax nana cyst, Giardia lamblia cyst 7%, Entamoeba complex cyst 6%, Chilomastix mesnili cyst 2% together with Iodamoeba bütschlii cyst, Hymenolepis nana eggs 8%, Ascaris lumbricoides eggs 3%, Enterobius vermicularis adult 1%. The prevalence of parasites found in the study coincides with other studies carried out in Ecuador.

    Anemia ferropénica en lactantes y niños de 1 a 3 años de edad: Revisión
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Carrera de Laboratorio Clínico, 2022-09-01) Pashay Chiguano, Darwin Orlando; Noriega Puga, Vicente Rubén, Dr.
    Different studies have shown that globally there are more than 1.24 billion people who suffer from anemia, and it is estimated that half of the cases are due to iron deficiency anemia (iron deficiency) in children, however, there are large differences in prevalence between low and high risk countries, this sign mainly affects infants, preschool children and pregnant women due to different risk factors such as: physiological, environmental, socioeconomic, chronic and genetic diseases. However, the main risk factor is malnutrition, which can even be due to a mother due to poor nutrition during pregnancy. According to the WHO, this problem represents 48.8% of global prevalence, in Latin America and the Caribbean there are 22 million children with iron deficiency anemia and in Ecuador it is shown that children of the indigenous and rural population are the most affected for the reason of locating in inadequate environmental and economic conditions (poverty), located mainly in the provinces of Chimborazo, Pichincha and Imbabura. For the monitoring and prevention of iron deficiency anemia, it is recommended to carry out laboratory tests such as levels of: Hemoglobin, erythrocyte index, serum ferritin and transferrin since they are the most specific tests that help determine iron deficiency in the body and subsequently be able to apply the necessary treatments. The objective of this bibliographic review is to collect information obtained from articles and reliable and indexed databases to publicize the problem of iron deficiency anemia in children and to create a society with extensive knowledge in the methods of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of certain factors that control this syndrome.
