dc.description.abstract In order to know the first-choice treatment by villagers of an endemic area of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) prior to medical attention in a health care center, a cross sectional study was realized in Pichupampa town. A census was made in order to collect demographic data and previous history of CL. 254 participants were surveyed. 41.7% (106/254) of the village had CL at least once in their lives and only half of them went to a health center to seek for primary care. 76/106 (71.7%) used some traditional treatment as their first choice and only 23.6% (25/106) subjects went to a health-care center without manipulation of their lesions. It’s evident that a high percentage (71.7%) of people potentially infected by CL manipulate and treat their lesions with traditional treatments prior to professional health-care, actions that could interfere with the diagnosis and effectiveness of the program implemented by the Health Ministry. en_US
dc.description.abstract Con el objetivo de conocer el tratamiento utilizado por pobladores de un área endémica de leishmaniasis cutánea (LC) previo a su atención en un servicio de salud, se realizó un estudio de corte transversal en un poblado de Lima, Perú. Se censó a toda la población y se recolectaron datos demográficos y antecedentes de LC. De los 254 habitantes censados, 41,7% (106/254) refirieron haber tenido LC y de ellos solo la mitad acudieron a un centro de salud. 76/106 (71,7%) usaron algún tratamiento tradicional como primera medida y solo 23,6% (25/106) acudieron a un centro de salud sin manipular sus lesiones. Un alto porcentaje de personas potencialmente infectadas por LC manipulan y tratan sus lesiones con métodos tradicionales antes de acudir a un centro de salud, lo que podría interferir con el diagnóstico y efectividad del programa de tratamiento implementado por el Ministerio de Salud. es_PE
