Resumen

El presente estudio tiene como objetivo analizar la prevalencia y factores de riesgo de la pediculosis activa y comparar la eficacia y sensibilidad del método de aspiración con el método del peine y la inspección visual con lupa dermatológica con el fin de determinar la mejor metodología para detectar la pediculosis activa en escolares del estado de Paraná. Cada niño fue examinado por los tres métodos consecutivamente. Se introdujo una actividad lúdica para aumentar la probabilidad de participación de los niños en el estudio. Adicionalmente, se tomaron en consideración las características del cabello y otros factores de riesgo como sexo, edad y estilo de vida para considerar aspectos epidemiológicos. En un total de 358 escolares del sur de Brasil, la prevalencia general de pediculosis fue del 45,5%, mientras que la prevalencia de pediculosis activa fue del 13,1%. Con respecto a la pediculosis activa, no hubo diferencia estadística entre géneros. Las niñas de nueve años mostraron más probabilidades de tener pediculosis activa. El método de la aspiración fue 5,96 y 11,29 veces más eficaz que el método de la lupa dermatológica y el método del peine, respectivamente, alcanzando además una mayor sensibilidad (74,5%) en la detección de pediculosis activa. Al analizar las características del pelo, los niños con pelo largo y ondulado/rizado fueron diagnosticados con más frecuencia por el método de la aspiración que los niños con pelo corto y ondulado/rizado. El método de la aspiración fue el método más eficaz y demostró ser una óptima opción para detectar la pediculosis activa entre los escolares, principalmente en niños con cabello ondulado/rizado.
