S. Infecciologia – Toxocarose. Protocolo de Actuação<br />
restringir o acesso de cães e gatos a jardins, parques infantis e<br />
outros locais onde habitualmente as crianças possam ser<br />
expostas aos ovos embrionados deste parasita.<br />
Não menos importante seria a desparasitação dos animais<br />
domésticos, principal agente transmissor da doença, sendo os<br />
fármacos mais frequentemente utilizados a dietilcarbamazina<br />
e o fenbendazol 4 . Para isso, deverão ser concebidas medidas<br />
conjuntas por organismos de Saúde Pública e de Veterinários.<br />
Outro aspecto seria melhorar as condições sanitárias de regiões<br />
com carências, principalmente no que diz respeito à confecção<br />
de alimentos e locais onde habitualmente brincam crianças.<br />
A correcção de alguns comportamentos de risco como a geofagia<br />
e a pica também é eficaz na prevenção da infestação por<br />
Toxocara e por outros parasitas 4,5,7 .<br />
Protocolo aprovado pela Secção de Infecciologia<br />
