RESUMEN.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Objetivo:<\/strong> Analizar el manejo inicial y especializado, el proceso de evaluaci\u00f3n de exposici\u00f3n ocupacional ante un caso de Neisseria meningitidis en una cl\u00ednica de Cali, Colombia, y proponer recomendaciones para el abordaje, con enfoque ocupacional.<\/p>\n

Material y M\u00e9todos:<\/strong> Estudio descriptivo retrospectivo con seguimiento a 28 trabajadores expuestos a una paciente pedi\u00e1trica con meningitis por N. meningitidis. Se evaluaron variables sociodemogr\u00e1ficas, antecedentes m\u00e9dicos, vacunaci\u00f3n, contacto con la fuente, uso de elementos de protecci\u00f3n personal y l\u00ednea de tiempo, mediante telemedicina.<\/p>\n

Resultados:<\/strong> Aunque la mayor\u00eda de los trabajadores usaron tapabocas quir\u00fargicos, se evidenciaron contactos cercanos sin protecci\u00f3n adecuada. Cinco trabajadores cumplieron criterios de exposici\u00f3n. Ninguno desarroll\u00f3 la enfermedad.<\/p>\n

Conclusiones:<\/strong> La obligatoriedad de los programas de salud ocupacional en Colombia, permiti\u00f3 cobertura oportuna, especializada y sin costo para los trabajadores sospechosos de contacto. Se requiere capacitaci\u00f3n para los m\u00e9dicos en el manejo de exposiciones ocupacionales a N. menigitidis, y a los trabajadores en la adherencia a las precauciones est\u00e1ndar y espec\u00edficas. La telemedicina facilit\u00f3 el seguimiento y cierre de casos.<\/p>\n

Title: <\/strong>OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE TO NEISSERIA MENINGITIDIS IN HEALTHCARE WORKERS: ANALYSIS OF A COLOMBIAN CASE AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INSTITUTIONAL <\/strong>MANAGEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Objective:<\/strong> To analyze the initial and specialized management, the occupational exposure assessment process for a case of Neisseria meningitidis in a clinic in Cali, Colombia, and to propose recommendations for the approach, with an occupational focus.<\/p>\n

Material and methods:<\/strong> Retrospective descriptive study with followup of 28 workers exposed to a pediatric patient with meningitis due to N. meningitidis. Sociodemographic variables, medical history, vaccination, contact with the source, use of personal protective equipment, and timeline were evaluated via telemedicine.<\/p>\n

Results:<\/strong> Although most of wokers used a surgical mask, close contacts without adequate protection were evidenced. Five workers met exposure criteria. None developed the disease.<\/p>\n

Conclusions:<\/strong> The mandatory occupational health program allowed for timely, specialized coverage at no cost for workers suspected of contact. Training is required for physicians in the management of occupational exposures to N. meningitidis, and for workers in adherence to standard and specific precautions. Telemedicine facilitated follow-up and case closure.<\/p>\n
