Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan that affects a third of the world population and whose updated seroprevalence in children with cancer in our environment is unknown. Aim: To describe the seroprevalence of IgG anti-T. gondii in pediatric population with cancer treated in hospitals of the Metropolitan Region, Chile. Method: Crosssectional study of the population of pediatric cancer patients treated in Santiago city, A serum sample was taken from 100 patients between June 2016 and May 2019. ELISA IgG T. gondii was performed. Results: Of 100 children, 51% male. 12 were positive (12%), 84 negative (84%) and 4 indeterminate (4%). The stratification by age showed 43% patients between 0-5 years, 29% between 6-10 years, 20% in the group of 11-15 years and 8% in patients > 15 years. Sixty one percent of the samples came from patients with acute leukemia. The percentage of women who tested positive for IgG was 21% compared to 4% in men (P < 0.0011). Conclusion: 84% of children undergoing cancer treatment are seronegative for T. gondii, so it is important to educate on the prevention of the acquisition of this parasite in this population, due to the risk of developing serious and fatal disease....

por los usuarios, generando un aporte a la experiencia emocional de la indumentaria medica infantil para el tratamiento del cáncer....
The implementation of the central venous catheter during intravenous chemotherapy treatment for cancer in children has been proven to be one of the most traumatic events in the healing process of the disease. Chile is a culturally intolerant and open to difference society, this quality, in the long run, makes people who physically evidence a pathology, feel discriminated and increase all the negative symptoms, which means living with a chronic disease, such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, frustration, etc.. In order to contribute to the improvement of the emotional experience of the child at the time of the implementation of the catheter, the following objective is proposed: to develop an alternative of elements for common tunneled central venous lines, in order to respond to both the medical needs of the child and the emotional needs of the child and his caregivers, dignifying the appearance of the child and improving his experience during the treatment of intravenous chemotherapy to treat cancer. The methodology used was that of the double diamond, thus going through the four corresponding stages: discovering the problem, defining it, developing possible solutions and delivering the result. The final result was a kit for the pediatric catheter, consisting of: 3 pieces clamp, which were redesigned to adapt to the needs of the main accessory, which are 3 rings with playful figures personalized with child aesthetics, for each light of the catheter. It is concluded that the objective set at the beginning of the research was achieved, so that, the reliable perception of the functional and infantile from the expressive by the users is evidenced, generating a contribution to the emotional experience of the infantile medical clothing for the treatment of cancer....
