Diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm for suspected human leptospirosis in Primary Health Care

Abstract

Introduction: leptospirosis is a zoonosis of worldwide distribution caused by the bacterium Leptospira interrogans which is acquired by direct or indirect contact with the urine of infected animals, contaminated soil or water sources and is endemic to tropical countries with environmental, climatic, occupational and socioeconomic characteristics that favor its transmission.

Objective: to design a diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm for suspected human leptospirosis in Primary Health Care.

Development: the research is based on the Dialectical Materialistic approach which allowed deepening the knowledge of the process and its interrelations in the social historical conditions of postgraduate education in the MGI specialist, revealing its main contradictions, selecting, basing and integrating the theoretical, empirical and statistical methods, besides attending postulates of the parameterization theory, in order to apply them in an integrated way and consequently to the research.

Conclusions: with the design of the diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm for the suspicion of human leptospirosis contextualized to Primary Health Care, directed to residents and specialists in General Integral Medicine, the purposes of achieving an efficient performance in the transformation of the reality of the health area of Pinar del Río with the management of this disease are concretized.
