Resumen
CASTELLANOS-GARZON, Jenniffer A.; DASCHNER, Alvaro; PUSTOVRH, María Carolina y CUELLAR, Carmen. Characteristics related to fish consumption and the risk of ichthyozoonosis in a Colombian population. Rev. salud pública [online]. 2019, vol.21, n.6, pp.573-580. Epub 16-Abr-2020. ISSN 0124-0064. https://doi.org/10.15446/rsap.v21n6.69898.
Objective
This study aimed to determine the dietary habits related to fish consumption and the risk factors associated with acquiring an ichthyo-zoonotic disease.
Materials and Methods
A descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out by means of a structured survey administered to 150 individuals in the city of Cali, Colombia.
Results
Epidemiological variables regarding fish consumption and preparation were contrasted with the medical records of the respondents. The median fish consumption in the surveyed population was three times a month, with raw or salted/marinated fish once a month. A positive correlation between fish consumption and allergic conditions was confirmed. There was no infectious or parasitic history associated with the data on fish consumption.
Conclusions
A relationship between fish consumption and allergies was confirmed. Further research is necessary to establish the possible pathogens associated with hypersensitivity, such as parasites of the Anisakidae family.
