Objective: To determine the prevalence of intestinal coccidia in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) at the National Arzobispo Loayza Hospital from May to July 2015. Materials and Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted from May to July 2015, including 100 fecal samples from patients with HIV infection of different ages and both sexes. The Ziehl-Neelsen Modified staining method was used for the analysis of fecal samples. Results: The prevalence of intestinal coccidia in HIV-positive patients at the National Arzobispo Loayza Hospital was 16%. The prevalence of Isospora belli was 10%, Cyclospora cayetanensis 4%, and Cryptosporidium parvum 2%. Conclusions: The study concluded that there is no relationship between sex and parasitosis, as the parasite does not distinguish between male and female patients, and no relationship between age and parasitosis, as the parasite does not discriminate based on the patient’s age. Both young and adult individuals are susceptible to infection.

Level of knowledge about self-care of arteriovenous fistula in patients at the San Juan Masías Dialysis Center, Lima – 2020

Chronic kidney disease is a public health problem that is becoming more frequent worldwide. This condition considerably affects the kidneys, causing deficiencies in blood filtration, extensively damaging these organs; For this reason, waste and abundant liquids from the blood are stored in the body, causing other problems in the individual's health; Therefore, it is necessary to start renal replacement treatment such as hemodialysis urgently. For this, it is necessary to create a vascular access such as the arteriovenous fistula that facilitates said treatment. The patient, who has this arteriovenous fistula, needs to know the corresponding care for his arteriovenous fistula in order to avoid complications and guarantee its functioning. Therefore, the objective of the work is: Determine the level of knowledge about self-care of arteriovenous fistula in patients at the San Juan Masías dialysis center - Lima, 2020.

Prevalence of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in asymptomatic patients by immunochromatography at the COVID-19 Villa Panamericana care and isolation center, Lima, Peru 2023
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2023-10-01) Tasayco Torres, Josué Enrique; Saldaña Orejón, Italo Moisés
This research is a contribution to understanding the situation during the first months of the pandemic, particularly in individuals affected by SARS-CoV-2, focusing on asymptomatic cases, which serve as an infection source for people with risk factors. Based on a database, all results obtained in the first months of the pandemic were selected. Initially, there was limited knowledge about the disease, as well as the interpretation and meaning of the rapid tests used. Health establishments set criteria to identify infected patients, including the basic symptoms of the disease, so that medical attention could be provided, as well as the rapid test to detect antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. However, potential asymptomatic cases were not considered. This population was not eligible to receive care at health centers, nor were they given the rapid test for detection. Therefore, it was decided to determine the prevalence of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in asymptomatic patients through immunochromatography, using data from all results obtained in the health establishment.
