- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoDiagnóstico y actualización del manejo de la leptospirosis anictérica, mediante una revisión sistemática(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Arichábala Coronel, Gisela Alexandra; Arias Peláez, María Cristina; 0302478318Background: Leptospirosis is a zoonotic condition transmitted through ingesting water or soil contaminated with urine from infected animals such as dogs, pigs, horses, rodents, and cattle, among others. The most susceptible populations include farmers, veterinarians, and individuals working in sewers. It manifests symptoms similar to flu-like processes, such as fever, headache, and myalgias. Over 500,000 cases of leptospirosis are documented annually, with a prevalence ranging from 0.1 to 1 case per 100,000 people in temperate climates and from 10 to 100 per 100,000 in warm climates. In Ecuador, its prevalence is 1 per 100,000 inhabitants. According to reports, Ecuador's region most affected by leptospirosis is the Coastal Region. Objective: To develop an analysis of scientific articles associated with the diagnosis and the updated management of aseptic leptospirosis through a systematic review. Method: A systematic review study was conducted and developed to analyze scientific articles within the context of the PRISMA 2020 statement. The research employed digital databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, UpToDate, Elsevier, SciELO, Biomed, and national and international repositories. Expected Results: The compiled information from scientific articles permitted the identification of the proper diagnostic techniques for this condition and the updated management that can be applied in primary healthcare facilities.
