Abstract: Los recolectores de residuos desempeñan un papel medioambiental crucial a
través de la eliminación de residuos municipales, aunque se enfrentan a importantes
riesgos para la salud por la exposición a diversos materiales de desecho. En consecuencia,
es esencial identificar los factores relacionados con las infecciones por hongos en los
recolectores de basura, que podrían estar asociadas a prácticas de higiene y equipos de
protección personal inadecuados, para desarrollar estrategias de salud eficaces para este
grupo demográfico. Por ese motivo el objetivo de esta investigación fue Determinar la
relación entre las infecciones fúngicas con los factores asociados en recolectores de
basura, del Cercado de Lima, 2024. Este trabajo siguió una metodología de tipo
observacional, analítica y correlacional; la muestra estuvo conformada por el total de
recicladores de basura, que laboran de manera independiente en Barrios Altos, del
Cercado de Lima, 2024. Como resultados se obtuvieron que la frecuencia de infecciones
fúngicas fue de 53%; las especies fúngicas aisladas fueron Penicillium spp., siendo el
hongo más frecuente con un (50%), seguido de Aspergillus spp. (19%), Fusarium spp.
(13%), Alternaria spp. (6%), Cladosporium spp. (6%) y Candida parapsilosis (6%). Este
trabajo demuestra una alta prevalencia de hongos ambientales colonizadores de la piel en
recicladores, así mismo concluye que no existe relación entre las infecciones fúngicas con
los factores asociados en recolectores de basura del Cercado de Lima, 2024.
Waste collectors play a crucial environmental role through the disposal of municipal waste, yet face significant health risks from exposure to various waste materials. Consequently, it is essential to identify factors related to fungal infections in waste collectors, which could be associated with inadequate hygiene practices and personal protective equipment, in order to develop effective health strategies for this demographic group. For this reason, the objective of this research was to determine the relationship between fungal infections and associated factors in garbage collectors in Cercado de Lima, 2024. This study followed an observational, analytical and correlational methodology; the sample consisted of all the independent waste pickers working in Barrios Altos, Cercado de Lima, 2024. The results showed that the frequency of fungal infections was 53%; the fungal species isolated were Penicillium spp. being the most frequent fungus (50%), followed by Aspergillus spp. (19%), Fusarium spp. (13%), Alternaria spp. (6%), Cladosporium spp. (6%) and Candida parapsilosis (6%). This purpose demonstrates a high prevalence of environmental fungi colonizing the skin of waste collectors, and it was concluded that there is no relationship between fungal infections and associated factors in garbage collectors in Cercado de Lima, 2024.
