(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-09-17) Guevara Perez, Lloy Italo; Rosas Paredes, Antino Rogelio; Benites Azabache, Juan Carlos
Tuberculosis, in any of its manifestations, is currently one of the most important public health issues, and the search for a rapid diagnostic method has been and continues to be one of the primary objectives in many parts of the world, especially in countries like ours, which have high incidence rates, and where the most affected population lacks the financial means to access existing rapid diagnostic methods. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the Ogawa culture medium with duck egg for the diagnosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, comparing the growth time and growth characteristics of this medium at 15, 30, 45, and 60 days. Methodology: A descriptive, comparative study was conducted using 50 samples from asymptomatic respiratory patients and TB patients (++, +++). Patients with ongoing treatment, paucibacillary patients, treatment dropouts, and relapses were excluded, and the Ogawa culture method was used. Bacterial growth was assessed in the culture media at 15, 30, 45, and 60 days, as well as the average growth time using duck egg and chicken egg. Results: The average growth time of M. tuberculosis in the Ogawa medium with duck egg was 17.3 days, while with chicken egg it was 23.6 days, with a significant difference between both averages (p=0.000). The colony growth on duck egg was significantly higher than on chicken egg at 15 days (p=0.002), 30 days (p=0.001), and 45 days (p=0.025). No significant difference was found in colony growth at 60 days (p=0.215). Conclusion: The use of the Ogawa medium with duck egg is justified as an alternative for the presumptive diagnosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Method: The study has a quantitative approach, descriptive, cross-sectional and prospective, presenting a single main variable, the techniques used were documentary analysis and the interview and the instruments used were the monitoring sheet and the questionnaire applied to the mothers of 6-month-old infants with anemia, the population being the total number of infants, which was 27, constituting a census. Results: During the study period, it was identified that, of the total number of infants with anemia, 70.3% had mild anemia, 25.9% had moderate anemia and 3.7% had severe anemia, with the female sex prevailing with 59.2%. Regarding the determining factors of anemia, present: 25.9% of mothers had a history of anemia during pregnancy, it was identified that 85.1% of infants received iron supplementation at the health facility with timely initiation of the supplement and of them 51.7% consumed it in less than 2 months and 56.5% did not consume it daily, with poor adherence to prophylactic treatment. Regarding the type of feeding, 51.8% of the infants did not receive exclusive breastfeeding, its varieties being mixed, artificial breastfeeding and consumption of cow's milk. 1 infant with a history of prematurity and 2 infants with low birth weight were identified; however, none received prophylactic iron supplementation. 55.5% of infants had their complete vaccination for their age, 70.3% of infants did not have complete growth and development controls for their age. In relation to prevalent diseases, 44.4% of infants with anemia presented diarrheal disease and respiratory infections and of them 3 infants were hospitalized. It has been identified that more than 70% of mothers of infants are unaware of the consequences of anemia during pregnancy, the irreversible effects suffered by the child with anemia in their adult life and the areas of psychomotor development that are affected in the child. with anemia. Conclusions: From the results obtained, it is concluded that the majority of infants in the study had mild or slight anemia, with a predominance of the female sex. A good percentage of the infants began iron supplementation in a timely manner at the health facility. However, More than half of them did not comply with the treatment on a regular basis, identifying difficulties in adherence to treatment. Likewise, infants with a history of prematurity and low birth weight were found who did not receive supplementation despite being infants with a risk factor for anemia, it was found that half of the infants with anemia did not receive exclusive breastfeeding until 6 months, being essential for the prevention of the disease, there is non-compliance with the vaccination schedule and growth and development controls in the infants under study, conditioning the risk of suffering from prevalent diseases such as diarrhea and respiratory infections, as is the case, and at the same time losing the possibility of receiving growth controls and timely nutritional evaluation, it has also been identified that most of mothers interviewed, are unaware of the consequences of anemia in children, which could lead to non-compliance with basic nutritional care in the infant by parents from conception.
