Abstract




Introducción: La varicela es una enfermedad viral aguda altamente contagiosa, de comienzo repentino, con fiebre moderada, síntomas generales, erupción cutánea de tipo maculopapular y vesicular; afecta principalmente a menores de 10 años.

Objetivos: Describir el comportamiento de la varicela entre 2003/ 2007 en Pradera (Valle del Cauca).

Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional descriptivo producto de los registros del Sistema de Vigilancia en Salud Pública de Pradera, secundarios a la recolección de casos de varicela notificados por los prestadores de servicios de salud municipales semanalmente.

Resultados: Se observó un incremento de 10 veces las tasas de varicela en 2006 respecto a 2003; afectó principalmente a menores de 1 a 4 años (14 veces), seguido de adultos jóvenes entre 15 a 44 años (13 veces) y de 45 a 59 años (9 veces); se enfermaron también personas de edades extremas (menores de un año - mayores de 60).

Conclusiones: Por su alto poder epidémico la varicela requiere para su control y prevención la movilización de diferentes sectores poblacionales: salud, social y educación; es un evento que al no controlarse adecuadamente afecta a grupos poblacionales inhabituales (mayores de 15 años y menores de 1 año). Las estrategias de control y prevención implementadas entre las secretarías de Salud Municipal de Pradera y Departamental del Valle al parecer contribuyeron a mitigar la diseminación de este evento durante 2007.

Abstract

Introduction: Knowing the development sequentiality in the first years of children life establish appropriate intervention strategies.

Objetive: The purpose of this paper is to determine the relationship between motor devel­­opment and the evolutionary process of language and cognition in children between school ages 3 to 7 in the city of Barranquilla.

Materials and methods: Descriptive study with the participation of 223 children be­­tween ages 3 to 7 years, enrolled in six official educational institutions of the city of Bar­­ranquilla. The Battelle inventory was applied to evaluate the development in terms of the motor, cognitive and language areas.

Results: The vast majority of the evaluated children were found in appropriate devel­­opment, although a significant group of the evaluated sample showed results below the expected standard for their age. The correlation of the variables: motor development, cog­­nition and language proof a positive relationship with high significance, which shows a bilateral relationship between these variables.

Conclusions: The results show that a child with age expected motor acquisitions will also shows cognitive and language development according to their age. Thus, the development of conceptual and language difficulties related to a low motor development will represent a disadvantage compared to their peers.
