Que es un brote epidémico.

Como, a veces, empezamos la casa por el tejado, hemos contado el estudio de un brote epidémico sin haber explicado antes que es un brote.

De sabios es rectificar y en este post intentaremos dejar claro que es lo que entendemos por Brote epidémico.

En general, cuando hablamos de brotes nos estamos refiriendo a enfermedades infecciosas.

 

Definición de brote epidémico:

 

1.-  La aparición de dos o más casos de la misma enfermedad asociados en tiempo, lugar y persona.

2.- El incremento significativo de casos en relación a los valores habitualmente observados.

3.-  La agregación de casos de una enfermedad en un territorio y en un tiempo comprendido entre el mínimo y el máximo período de incubación o de latencia puede ser considerado, también, indicativo de brote.

4.- La aparición de una enfermedad, problema o riesgo para la salud en una zona hasta entonces libre de ella.

5.- La presencia de cualquier proceso relevante de intoxicación aguda colectiva, imputable a causa accidental, manipulación o consumo.

6.- La aparición de cualquier incidencia de tipo catastrófico que afecte, o pueda afectar, a la salud de la Comunidad.

 

No puedo resistirme a poner la definición de mi querido Diccionario de Epidemiología Last. Brote, sinónimo de epidemia, a veces constituye un término preferible al de  epidemia para evitar el sensacionalismo que puede asociarse al uso de esta última palabra. Alternativamente, epidemia localizada, epidemia localizada, no generalizada.

Epidemia, del griego epi encima y demos pueblo. Aparición en una comunidad o región de casos de una enfermedad, conducta específica u otros hechos, en relación con la salud, claramente excesivos con respecto a lo que cabe esperar en condiciones normales. La comunidad o región y el periodo en que se presentan los casos se hallan netamente definidos.

También un único caso de una determinada enfermedad que por su trascendencia la sola aparición de un caso ha de ser tratada y considerada como un brote, como reseñamos en otro post

Seguiremos profundizando en este tema más adelante.

  43. Sigurno vam se barem jednom dogodilo da unajmi majstora koji
    ne odradi posao kako treba. Kada svaka tvrtka
    za sebe tvrdi da je najbolja, nemoguće je znati kome uistinu možete vjerovati.

    Gubljenje vremena i novca na loše usluge postalo je uobičajena stvar, a jedini način da se to spriječi je čitanje
    stvarnih osvrta kupaca.

    U takvim trenucima ključni alat za svakog kupca postaju specijalizirane
    platforme za recenzije. Ako želite izbjeći glavobolje i saznati pravu istinu o nekom obrtu, najbolja opcija je provjeriti https://iskustva-recenzije.com. Tamo možete pronaći stotine necenzuriranih komentara, tako da više
    ne morate kupovati ‘mačka u vreći’.

    Cijeli ovaj sustav funkcionira zahvaljujući ljudima koji nesebično
    dijele informacije. Nakon što završite suradnju s nekom firmom, podijelite svoj osvrt s ostatkom javnosti.
    Tako pomažemo drugim ljudima da izbjegnu identična loša iskustva,
    a nepoštenim poslodavcima i obrtnicima šaljemo jasnu poruku.

  44. Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to
    my 4 year old daughter and said «You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.» She
    put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and
    it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!

    LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

  45. In the early years of the Great Depression, as Laredo’s annual Washington Birthday Celebration entered its third
    decade, the bilingual Laredo Times crusaded
    for the cash-strapped city it served to keep staging yearly commemorations
    of the first U.S. This article analyzes 339 articles,
    photos, columns, cartoons, and advertisements that appeared in the Times between 1929 and 1934 to show how the newspaper
    created a cross-border public memory of George Washington for its
    increasingly desperate imagined community of transnational readers.

    Moreover, this article demonstrates the role of the Times in transforming the Washington celebration from its origins
    as an 1898 Americanization tactic of Anglo city fathers into a twentieth century regional, cultural,
    and economic vehicle that conceptualized «American» liberty as English and Spanish and Mexican and American. From 1911 to 1929,
    Victor Berger edited the Milwaukee Leader, a Socialist Party daily newspaper.
    Berger advocated a peaceful transition to socialism via the
    ballot box. When the Leader opposed World War I, it lost its mailing
    privileges and Berger faced prison.
