Abstract: La hepatitis B se encuentra entre las primeras 10 causas de morbimortalidad en el mundo. La amazonia sudamericana, hogar de distintos pueblos indígenas, está incluida entre las zonas con mayor prevalencia en el mundo. A través de la presente investigación se evaluaron los factores asociados a la prevalencia de infección (actual o pasada) de hepatitis B en las comunidades ubicadas alrededor de la Reserva Comunal Amarakaeri (Amazonia peruana), también se realizó una primera aproximación a los retos para la atención de salud de los miembros de dos comunidades Harakbut. Para cumplir estos objetivos se analizaron datos secundarios provenientes del estudio “Impactos en la salud humana y en el medio ambiente de la extracción de recursos en la Reserva Amarakaeri” desarrollado en el año 2015, adicionalmente se realizó trabajo de campo en dos de las comunidades a fin de realizar entrevistas y grupos focales a personal de las postas de salud y miembros de las comunidades. El modelo de regresión logística de la presente investigación encontró que -la proporción de casos positivos entre casos negativos a anticuerpos contra el antígeno central del virus de la Hepatitis B- es mayor en las comunidades indígenas y en el grupo de personas que se dedica al oficio aurífero artesanal. Mientras que la visita a las comunidades con mayor prevalencia (Puerto Luz y Shintuya) encontró un profundo desconocimiento sobre la hepatitis B, así como graves problemas en la atención a los pacientes con diagnostico positivo para esta enfermedad. Los resultados de esta investigación permiten llamar la atención sobre la situación de salud en la que se encuentran los miembros de las comunidades Harakbut y alertar sobre la necesidad de ampliar los esfuerzos de investigación sobre la prevalencia de hepatitis B y otras infecciones de transmisión sexual (ITS) en el resto de comunidades indígenas, con énfasis en aquellas inmersas en la actividad aurífera.
Hepatitis B is among the first ten causes of morbidity and mortality in the world. The Amazon rainforest, home to different indigenous peoples, is one of the highest prevalence areas in the world. Through this research, I evaluated the associated factors to the prevalence of hepatitis B (current or past infection) in the communities around the Amarakaeri Communal Reserve and made a first approach to the challenges of appropriate health care for two of these communities. To meet these objectives, secondary data from the study "Impacts on human health and the environment of the extraction of resources in the Amarakaeri Reserve" collected by the Duke Global Health Institute was analyzed, and fieldwork was carried out in two indigenous communities in order to conduct interviews and focus groups with health workers and community members. The analysis of associated factors found that living in an indigenous community and working as artisanal gold miners are associated with higher odds of being positive for anti-HBc antibodies. The interviews conducted with members of the community and health workers allowed us to acknowledge that there is a strong distrust between them due to the lack of an intercultural approach during health services, which added to the lack of information about Hepatitis B, puts immunization plans at risk (particularly with pregnant women and their newborns). These results highlight the consequences of the lack of an intercultural approach in public health policies and the need for Peruvian decision-makers to reverse this situation. Moreover, alert the need to expand research efforts on the prevalence of hepatitis B and other sexually transmitted infections in the rest of indigenous communities, with emphasis on those immersed in gold mining activities.
