PROCOPIN en Barrio Obrero de Berisso : PROCOPIN: la comunidad y la universidad en el control de las Parasitosis intestinales y el mejoramiento de la nutrición.(Barrio Obrero de Berisso)
2020Co-Authors: Facultad De Ciencias MédicasAbstract:Se propone trabajar con la comunidad de un asentamiento del Barrio Obrero. Los profesionales sanitarios, educativos y miembros de la comunidad manifestaron su preocupación por la presencia de Parasitosis y alteraciones de la nutrición, principalmente en niños. Se han contactado con nuestro grupo al conocer nuestras experiencias en la implementación de proyectos de control de Parasitosis intestinales y nutrición en comunidades vulnerables. El proyecto se desarrolla en cuatro etapas: 1- Evaluación del estado nutricional y parasitario de niños (3-8 años), 2-Intervención terapéutica en niños con alteraciones nutritivas y/o parasitados, 3- Intervención educativa para evitar el retorno al estado de enfermedad y 4- Control post-intervención. Las estrategias de intervención tienen en cuenta la realidad económica y cultural de la comunidad. No nos quedamos “esperando al enfermo”, sino que acudimos a la comunidad para revertir la situación. Este proyecto resulta de interés comunitario porque permite controlar la transmisión de Parasitosis intestinales y mejorar las conductas alimentarias en comunidades vulnerables. Se considera un área de vacancia pues no existe ninguna institución nacional, provincial o municipal que ingrese a la comunidad para controlar la morbi-mortalidad asociada a las Parasitosis y a los trastornos nutricionales de escolares que viven en situación de riesgo social.Línea temática: SaludConvocatoria: Convocatoria 2015Facultad de Ciencias MédicasFacultad de Ciencias VeterinariasFacultad de Ciencias Naturales y Muse

Delusional Parasitosis on the psychiatric consultation service – a longitudinal perspective: case study
British Journal of Psychiatry Open, 2017Co-Authors: Adam Trenton, Neha H. Pansare, Anthony Tobia, Viwek Bisen, Kenneth R. KaufmanAbstract:Background Delusional Parasitosis is infrequently seen in hospital-based consultation–liaison psychiatry. Aims Although there are many publications on delusional Parasitosis, this report reviews a unique case that was diagnosed during a hospital admission and treated over the next 36 months. Method Case report and literature review. Results This case report describes a 65-year-old man who was diagnosed with delusional Parasitosis during a hospital admission for congestive heart failure and acute kidney injury. A longitudinal description of the patient's condition during the hospital stay and in the 36 months following discharge, during which time he was treated by a consultation psychiatrist, is provided. Conclusions In discussing the treatment of a challenging presentation, this case demonstrates the opportunity for consultation psychiatrists to initiate care in patients who might not otherwise seek psychiatric services. Patients with somatic delusions represent one group of patients who are unlikely to independently seek psychiatric treatment.

Urethral stricture secondary to self-instrumentation due to delusional Parasitosis: a case report
Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2015Co-Authors: Muhammad Fahmi Ismail, Eugene M CassidyAbstract:Introduction Delusional Parasitosis is a rare psychiatric disorder which often presents with dermatological problems. Delusional Parasitosis, which involves urethral self-instrumentation and foreign body insertion, is exceptionally rare. This is the first case report to date that provides a detailed presentation of the urological manifestation of delusional Parasitosis with complications associated with repeated self-instrumentation and foreign body insertion, resulting in stricture formation and requiring perineal urethrostomy. Case presentation A 45-year-old Irish man was electively admitted for perineal urethrostomy with chronic symptoms of dysuria, haematuria, urethral discharge, and intermittent urinary retention. He reported a 4-year history of intermittent pain, pin-prick biting sensations, and burrowing sensations, and held the belief that his urethra was infested with ticks. He also reported a 2-year history of daily self-instrumentation, mainly injecting an antiseptic using a syringe in an attempt to eliminate the ticks. He was found to have urethral strictures secondary to repeated self-instrumentation. A foreign body was found in his urethra and was removed via cystoscopy. On psychiatric assessment, he displayed a fixed delusion of tick infestation and threatened to surgically remove the tick himself if no intervention was performed. The surgery was postponed due his mental state and he was started on risperidone; he was later transferred to an acute in-patient psychiatric unit. Following a 3-week admission, he reported improvement in his thoughts and distress. Conclusions Delusional Parasitosis is a rare psychiatric disorder. Self-inflicted urethral foreign bodies in males are rare and have high comorbidity with psychiatric disorders; hence, these patients have a low threshold for referral for psychiatric assessment. The mainstay treatment for delusional Parasitosis is second-generation antipsychotic drugs.

Efficacy and Safety of Quetiapine Treatment for Delusional Parasitosis: Experience in an Elderly Patient
Clinical neuropharmacology, 2008Co-Authors: Antonio Milia, Maria Giuseppina Mascia, Giuseppina Pilia, Alessandra Paribello, Daniela Murgia, Eleonora Cocco, Maria Giovanna MarrosuAbstract:Delusional Parasitosis is an unusual psychiatric disorder characterized by the false and persistent belief of being infested by parasites. Treatments include haloperidol, pimozide, and at present, olanzapine and risperidone. We report a case of delusional Parasitosis in an elderly man, in which the treatment with low doses of quetiapine induced the complete remission of the syndrome, without any considerable side effects. No such report has been described before.
