Leptospirosis, DiagnósticoAbstract
Se realiza una investigación descriptiva con el objetivo de conocer el valor del hemocultivo en el diagnóstico de la leptospirosis humana. Se revisan las historias clínicas de 59 pacientes ingresados en el Hospital "Abel Santamaría" durante el trimestre octubre - diciembre del año 2000, con el diagnóstico presuntivo de leptospirosis, recogiéndose los resultados del hemocultivo realizado en 54 pacientes, la microaglutinación, hecha en 30 pacientes y la hemaglutinación pasiva en los 59 enfermos. Se discuten las causas de pruebas serológicas negativas en presencia de la enfermedad. El diagnóstico se realizó por hemocultivo en 17 pacientes y solo en 12 con la microaglutinación y en 8 con la hemaglutinación, teniendo además el hemocultivo la posibilidad de brindar el conocimiento de los serogrupos actuantes. Se recomienda la generalización de esta prueba bacteriológica a los otros hospitales de la provincia.
