Introducción. La infestación por piojos de la cabeza en humanos (Pediculus humanus capitis) se conoce como pediculosis capitis. Estos parásitos pueden ser vectores de enfermedades infecciosas con potencial reemergente.
Objetivos. Revisar la literatura actual sobre las enfermedades infecciosas transmitidas por piojos de la cabeza y realizar una breve descripción de sus manifestaciones clínicas.
Materiales y métodos. Se realizó una revisión de la literatura en Medline, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar y SciELO mediante la siguiente estrategia de búsqueda: años de publicación: 1938 a 2019; idioma: inglés y español; términos de búsqueda: “Pediculus”, “lice infestations”, “bacteria”, “emerging communicable diseases”, “Rickettsia”, “Bartonella”, “Borrelia”, “Acinetobacter”, “Yersinia“, and “Colombia”, y sus equivalentes en español.
Resultados. De los 110 artículos incluidos, la mayoría correspondió a investigaciones originales (48.2%). A nivel mundial, numerosos estudios han reportado la transmisión de Rickettsia prowazekii, Bartonella quintana, Borrelia recurrentis, Staphylococcus aureus, Acinetobacter baumannii y Yersinia pestis, entre otras bacterias, por los piojos de la cabeza y del cuerpo en humanos.
Conclusiones. Aunque las enfermedades infecciosas transmitidas por piojos de la cabeza son raras, guardan potencial reemergente en poblaciones afectadas por migraciones humanas, crisis sociopolíticas, indigencia e inmunosupresión. En Colombia no se han realizado investigaciones sobre la transmisión de estas enfermedades por Pediculus spp., por lo que se sugiere que en estudios futuros se determine la prevalencia y los aspectos epidemiológicos de las enfermedades transmitidas por piojos de la cabeza.
Introduction: Head lice (Pediculus humanus capitis) infestation in humans is known as pediculosis capitis. These parasites can be vectors of potentially re-emerging infectious diseases.
Objective: To review the current literature on infectious diseases transmitted by head lice and provide a brief description of their clinical manifestations.
Materials and methods: A literature review was conducted in the Medline, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar and SciELO databases using the following search strategy: Publication time: 1938 to 2019; Publication language: English and Spanish; Search terms: “Pediculus”, “lice infestations”, “bacteria”, “emerging communicable diseases”, “Rickettsia”, “Bartonella”, “Borrelia”, “Acinetobacter”, “Yersinia“, and “Colombia”, and their Spanish equivalents.
Results: Of the 110 studies included in the review, most of them were original research articles (48.2%). Worldwide, many studies have reported the transmission of Rickettsia prowazekii, Bartonella quintana, Borrelia recurrentis, Staphylococcus aureus, Acinetobacter baumannii and Yersinia pestis, among other bacteria, by head and body lice in humans.
Conclusions. Although infectious diseases transmitted by head lice are rare, they have the potential to become re-emerging infectious diseases in population groups affected by human migration processes, socio-political crises, homelessness, and immunosuppression conditions. In Colombia, so far, there are no studies on the transmission of these bacterial diseases by Pediculus spp., so in future studies the prevalence and epidemiological characteristics of human head louse-borne diseases should be determined.
