JACOME, Juan Enrique Villacís; FONSECA, Cristhian Fabricio Morales; VEGA, Jimena Verónica Romero and UGSHA, Edgar Fernando Jaya. Therapeutic intervention in children with sequelae of toxoplasmosis. Vive Rev. Salud [online]. 2022, vol.5, n.15, pp.750-762. Epub Oct 27, 2022. ISSN 2664-3243. https://doi.org/10.33996/revistavive.v5i15.185.
Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic pathology that is caused by the presence of a protozoan at the intracellular level. It has several consequences in both adults and children, however, sequelae such as disabilities have been seen in the latter. Objective. To carry out a review of information on therapeutic intervention in children with sequelae of toxoplasmosis. Methodology. A bibliographic review was carried out in academic search engines including the descriptors: disability, physical, sensory and intellectual disability, psychotherapeutic intervention, therapeutic intervention, toxoplasmosis and congenital toxoplasmosis. Information was compiled and the consequences of toxoplasmosis were defined in two types of disability: intellectual and sensory. Within the latter, the prevalence of deficiencies at the auditory and visual level as consequences was found. Results. A definition of each term was provided, as well as the importance of maintaining a rights and inclusive perspective when carrying out a psychological intervention. Conclusions. At the level of Clinical Psychology, it was identified that there is no treatment specifically for the sequelae of toxoplasmosis, however, the therapeutic objective revolves around the individual needs of each subject, in this case, on the disabilities of the child population.
