| description |
The objective of this work is to report the fi rst case of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in the province of Cordoba, in the month of November, 2014. There are no previous reports of autochthonous cases in the province. The work team from the Chair of Medical Parasitology and Mycology. School of Medicine, National University of Cordoba, has been raising warning fl ags regarding the effects of global warming on public health, since it stimulates the advance of the epidemiologic boundary of vector transmitted diseases; leishmaniasis is an example of this statement. This zoonosis has been diagnosed in a patient from Unquillo, a mountainous region, little more than 20 km away from the capital of Cordoba, Argentina. The diagnosis has been checked with tissue biopsies, undoubtedly through parasite observation. Deforestation for agriculture and wood production, the generation of closed neighborhoods in the surroundings of cities, the migration of people coming from endemic areas and the global increase of temperatures are the factors which favor the new settlements of this pathology.8 This disease has a great impact on health and its vector has to be fought against through permanent health programs. Cutaneous leishmaniasis is greatly spread in America and representations can be found since pre-Columbian times in pottery and anthropomorphic huacos showing lesions corresponding to this pathology.1, 7, 8 The etiologic agent is a parasite transmitted by a small insect, Lutzomyia; it produces chronic ulcers and mutilation due to the destruction of nose and larynx cartilages. It is a priority to inform about the emergency of the disease, generate preventive actions of health promotion and let all the health team know about the existence of the disease in our setting.1, 7, 8 |

Cutaneous leishmaniasis global warming advance of the epidemiologic boundary fi rst autochthonous case Unquillo Cordoba Leishmaniasis cutánea calentamiento global avance de la frontera epidemiológica primer caso autóctono Unquillo Córdoba The objective of this work is to report the fi rst case of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in the province of Cordoba, in the month of November, 2014.

No existen reportes anteriores de casos autóctonos en el territorio provincial. El equipo de trabajo de la Cátedra de Parasitología y Micología Médicas, FCM, UNC, viene advirtiendo sobre los efectos del calentamiento global para la salud pública, hecho que favorece el avance de la frontera epidemiológica de enfermedades transmitidas por vectores - la leishmaniasis es un ejemplo de esta afi rmación-. La zoonosis se ha diagnosticado en un paciente de Unquillo, localidad serrana, distante poco más de 20 km de la capital de Córdoba, Argentina. El diagnóstico ha sido corroborado mediante biopsias de tejido, de manera indubitable a través de la observación del parásito. La deforestación para las explotaciones agrícolas, producción de madera, la generación de barrios cerrados en la periferia de las ciudades, las migraciones humanas provenientes de áreas endémicas y el aumento global de la temperatura son los factores que favorecen las nuevas radicaciones de esta patología.8 Esta enfermedad tiene alto impacto sanitario y su vector debe ser combatida a través de programas sanitarios permanentes. La LC está ampliamente distribuida en América y hay representaciones desde la época precolombina en cerámicas y huacos antropomórfi cos con lesiones propias de esta patología.1, 7, 8 El agente etiológico es un parásito transmitido por un pequeño insecto –Lutzomya.- produce úlceras crónicas y mutilaciones por destrucción de cartílagos nasales y laríngeos. Entendemos prioritario informar la emergencia de de la enfermedad, generar las conductas preventivas, de promoción de salud y poner al corriente a todo el equipo de salud de su presencia en nuestro medio..1, 7, 8 O objetivo deste trabalho é a comunicação do primeiro caso de leishmaniose cutânea (LC), na província de Córdoba, no mês de novembro de 2014. Não existem relatos anteriores de casos autóctones no território da província. A equipe do Departamento de Parasitologia e Micologia Médica da FCM, UNC, vem alertando sobre os efeitos do aquecimento global sobre a saúde pública, o que favorece o avanço da fronteira epidemiológica das doenças transmitidas por vectores - a leishmaniose é um exemplo desta afi rmação-. A zoonose foi diagnosticada em um paciente de Unquillo, localidade serrana, distante pouco mais de 20 km da capital de Córdoba, Argentina. O diagnóstico foi confi rmado por biopsia de tecido, sem ambiguidade através da observação do parasita. O desmatamento para exploração agrícola, a produção de madeira, a geração de condomínios fechados na periferia das cidades, as migrações humanas provenientes de áreas endêmicas e o aumento da temperatura global são os fatores que promovem estes novos aparecimentos da patologia.8 . Esta doença tem um alto impacto e o seu vector deve ser combatido através de programas de saúde permanentes. A LC encontra-se amplamente espalhada pela América e há representações da cerâmica da era pré-colombiana e estatuetas antropomórfi cas (huacos) com lesões próprias desta patologia.1, 7, 8 . O agente etiológico é um parasita transmitido por um inseto minúsculo Lutzomya. Que produz úlceras crônicas e mutilação por destruição de cartilagem nasal e da laringe. Achamos prioritário informar a emergência da doença, gerar comportamentos preventivos,a promoção da saúde e para informar a toda a equipe de saúde sobre a sua presença em nosso meio.. 1, 7, 8 Escuela de Salud Pública y Ambiente.
