ABSTRACT

Background: in Camagüey province there is an increase in medical attention for diarrheas in the first three-month period of the year 5112 in relation to the year 5114.
Objective: to characterize the medical attention for diarrhea from January to June, 5112 and its risks, main etiologies, and the prognosis methods for vigilance.
Method: a survey about aspects related to the environment and lifestyles was made in two health areas. The results from the stool tests and from the parasitological analyses made in this period were analyzed. The sequence of time of daily cases in Camagüey municipality was also analyzed. The basic reproduction number was determined.
Results: the survey allowed assessing the most affected age groups and finding some behaviors and factors that favored the dispersion of acute diarrheas. The main causes found in the analyzed diarrheas are mentioned. The possibility of systematizing the prognosis with models of series of time and of basic reproduction number was made and analyzed.
Conclusions: in the analyzed areas, the medical attention to diarrhea increased because of environmental factors and behaviors related to inadequate habits and lifestyles. The diagnosis from the stool tests in Camagüey province have not been enough due to the great number of cases. The elements of the theory of epidemics are not used in the epidemiological analyses.
