Drugs and analysis of the Cuban health situation

El consumo de medicamentos, eslabón final de la cadena, puede ser abordado desde diferentes perspectivas que dependen de las aplicaciones del análisis que se realiza. Su análisis es útil para algunas aplicaciones, sobre todo administrativas y de políticas sanitarias. En las guías para el Análisis de Situación de Salud no se aborda el papel que los medicamentos tienen en la salud de la comunidad. En tal sentido se pretende reflexionar sobre la pertinencia del tema "medicamentos" en las propuestas metodológicas que guían la realización del ASIS. En el ámbito sanitario, la utilización del análisis de la situación de salud de la población cubana a través de indicadores relacionados con medicamentos está ausente. Es necesario incluirlos en el análisis de la situación de salud para poder establecer las prioridades en consonancia con los problemas detectados y elaborar el proyecto del plan de acción con énfasis en las tareas factibles de realización en cada nivel.

Drug use, final link in the chain, can be approached from different perspectives depending on the applications of analysis performed. Their analysis is useful for some applications, particularly managing and health policies. In the guidelines for Health Situation Analysis (HAS), the role that drugs have on the health of the community is not addressed. In this sense, it is intended to reflect upon the relevance of the topic "drugs" in the methodological proposals that guide HAS implementation. In the health field, the use of analysis of the health situation of the Cuban people through drug-related indicators is absent. It is necessary to include them in the analysis of the health situation in order to establish priorities in line with the identified problems and to develop the draft action plan with emphasis on performing tasks feasible at each level.

False serologic reactivity in healthy pregnant women with sickle cell anemia

Se presenta el caso de una embarazada perteneciente a un consultorio médico de familia del Policlínico "Flores Betancourt", municipio Artemisa; la cual desconocía su estado de portadora sana de Hemoglobina S, con resultados serológicos débil reactivos durante toda su gestación y aún después de esta, sin elementos clínicos ni epidemiológicos que hicieran considerar una sífilis en el embarazo. Se procedió a estudiar las causas agudas y crónicas, más conocidas en nuestro medio como falsas reactivas, arribándose a conclusiones novedosas, hasta ahora no referidas en reportes nacionales o internacionales, con respecto a la relación existente entre el estado de portador sano de siclemia y el resultado serológico Falso Reactivo.

The case of a pregnant woman is presented here. She was patient of a family doctor's office at "Flores Betancourt" Polyclinic in Artemisa municipality. This patient did not know her state of healthy carrier of Hemoglobin S, with weak reactive serologic results throughout her pregnancy and even afterwards. No clinical or epidemiological elements would lead to consider syphilis in pregnancy. The best known acute and chronic causes in our environment were studied as false reactive, reaching to new findings, so far not referred in national or international reports, regarding the relationship between the state of healthy carrier of sicklemia and false reagent serology.
