Resumen
FARINAS REINOSO, Ana Teresa. El control de la oftalmia neonatal gonocócica. Rev Cubana Med Gen Integr [online]. 1998, vol.14, n.5, pp. 468-473. ISSN 1561-3038.
A descriptive study is conducted at 6 gynecoobstetric hospitals in Havana City and at 2 in the province of Havana during the first fortnight of May, 1995. Rapid techniques of health surveillance, such as the semistructured interview, the nonparticipative observation and the documental review were applied. The following important conclusions were reached: physicians have an adequate level of know-ledge to prevent the transmission of the disease, but nurses dont. Most of them did their work mechanically. At the visited hospitals no control was observed in the departments of neonatology, epidemiology, microbiology and pharmacy on the quality of prophylaxis indicated to avoid gonococcal ophthalmia neonatorum. The real prevalence of gonorrhea among pregnant women is not known. The behavior of ophthalmia in children can not be prognosed, and changes of prophylaxis can not be proposed either. The presence of beta-lactamase-resistant strains is not under control
