Gili, Mariana Peralta, Nora B. Zitta, María Eugenia Varengo, Haydeé T. epidemiología enteroparasitosis micosis superficiales Purpose: to obtain epidemiological data and compare results obtained for enteroparasitoses and superficial mycoses in boys and girls between 0 and 15 years old, in two suburban communities located in the southwest of the province of Cordoba (SW area) and in children examined at Hospital Infantil Municipal in the northern area of the city of Cordoba (N area). Methods: 790 samples of stools and anus swabs and 160 skin and appendages samples from children living in these areas are analyzed. The techniques of Ritchie and Willis for parasitological analysis and classical methodology for mycological analysis are used. Results: in the parasitological samples processed a higher rate of Enterobius vermicularis is found, followed first by Blastocystis hominis and then by Giardia lamblia. A predominance of Microsporum canis followed by Candida albicans is found in the mycological samples from the northern area. Conclusions: the lack of sewer systems, running water and familiar overcrowding as well as inadequate personal and community hygiene are the causes of a higher frequency of these enteroparasitoses. We cannot establish statistical association between the presence of mycosis and the economical status of the populations studied with the epidemiological data found. Objetivos: Obtener datos epidemiológicos y comparar resultados obtenidos de enteroparasitosis y micosis superficiales en niños de ambos sexos entre 0 a 15 años de edad, en dos comunas suburbanas ubicadas al suroeste de la provincia de Córdoba (zona SO) y en niños atendidos en el Hospital Infantil Municipal en la zona norte de la ciudad de Córdoba (zona N). Métodos: Se analizan 790 muestras de material fecal y escobillado anal y 106 muestras de piel y faneras provenientes de niños residentes en dichas zonas. Se utilizan técnicas de análisis parasitológicos de Ritchie, Willis y de metodología clásica para análisis micológico. Resultados: De los parasitológicos procesados se obtuvo mayor frecuencia de Enterobius vermicularis, seguido de Blastocystis hominis y luego de Giardia lamblia. De las muestras micológicas se obtuvo un predominio de Microsporum canis seguido de Candida albicans en la zona N. Conclusiones: La carencia de cloacas, agua corriente y el hacinamiento familiar, así como también la inadecuada higiene personal y comunitaria justifican la mayor frecuencia de estas enteroparasitosis. Los datos epidemiológicos hallados no permiten establecer asociación estadística entre la presencia de micosis y el estado socioeconómico de las poblaciones estudiadas.
