Se realizó un estudio prospectivo, descriptivo, analítico y de corte transversal, cuyo objetivo fue identificar la incidencia de la faringoamigdalitis aguda (FA) y determinar la presencia del antígeno del estreptococo B-hemolítico del grupo A en pacientes que asistieron a la Unidad de Atención Primaria (UNAP) de la comunidad Villa Sombrero. El universo consistió en los 704 pacientes que acudieron a la UNAP; la muestra la conforman los pacientes que presentaron FA. Los datos fueron obtenidos mediante la aplicación de un protocolo de recolección de datos y la realización de la prueba OSOM Strep A Ultra Test. Entre los hallazgos, en ambos sexos, el rango de edad con más casos de FA fue de 3-10 años; del total de pacientes que padecían FA, solo un 26.87% resultó positivo a la prueba; no existió una correlación entre las puntuaciones de los criterios de Centor modificados y la positividad o negatividad de la prueba; todos los pacientes fueron medicados con antibioterapia. Teniendo en cuenta estos resultados, concluimos que solo una fracción de todos los pacientes con FA podrían considerarse como casos confirmados de etiología bacteriana, por tanto, el uso indiscriminado de antibioterapia para todos los pacientes debe evitarse y cada caso debe individualizarse. El estudio trae a discusión la importancia que tendría implementar pruebas rápidas para esta patología tan frecuente y la posibilidad de reducir la administración de antibióticos innecesarios.
A prospective, descriptive, analytical and cross-sectional study was made to identify the incidence of acute pharyngotonsillitis (AP) and the presence of antigen streptococcus B-hemolytic group A in patients who attended the primary care unit of Villa Sombrero. The universe consisted of 704 patients who attended the primary care unit; the sample was the patients who developed AP. The data was obtained by applying a protocol for data collection and OSOM Ultra Strep A Test. Among the findings, in both sexes the age range with more cases of AP was 3-10 years old, from the total number of patients suffering from AP, only 26.87% tested positive ; There was no correlation between the scores of the modified Centor criteria and the positivity and negativity of the test and all patients were treated with antibiotics. Considering these results, we conclude that just a fraction of all the patients with AP could be considered as confirmed cases with a bacterial etiology, therefore the indiscriminate use of antibiotics for all patients should be avoided and each case must be individualized. The study brings to discussion the importance of implementing rapid tests for this common pathology and the possibility of reducing unnecessary administration of antibiotics.
