Resumen
Las infecciones respiratorias son una causa común de morbilidad pediátrica siendo que asociado a fiebre en niños pequeños y se asume que son frecuentemente causadas por infecciones virales. El virus sincicial respiratorio (VSR) se asocia con una infección grave del tracto respiratorio inferior, especialmente en recién nacidos prematuros. Las infecciones por virus respiratorios causan un número significativo de hospitalizaciones y muertes en todo el mundo. La mayoría de estas infecciones son de origen viral y autolimitadas, pero la infección viral a menudo es difícil de distinguir de una infección bacteriana. El uso de una reacción en cadena de la polimerasa múltiple (PCR) para detectar virus en las secreciones respiratorias es potencialmente beneficioso, sin embargo, estas técnicas no están en todos los sitios disponible. En Ecuador, a pesar de tener una tasa de enfermedades respiratorias altas y bajas alta, nos e han realizado estudios basados en la población lactante que son más susceptibles a la infecciones virales, nuestro trabajo presentado de forma analítica descriptiva observacional indirecta de enfoco en 103 pacientes cuyo diagnostico fue la infección de vías respiratorias altas, de ellos el 66% se catalogó como resfriado común y el 25% como bronquiolitis, demostrando que de forma clínica el 98% de todos los casos fue de etiología clínica y la prevalencia de estas patologías respiratorias fue de 5% durante el periodo 2014 - 2016
Respiratory infections are a common cause of pediatric morbidity being associated with fever in young children and it is assumed that they are frequently caused by viral infections. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is associated with severe lower respiratory tract infection, especially in premature infants. Respiratory virus infections cause a significant number of hospitalizations and deaths worldwide. Most of these infections are viral and self-limiting, but viral infection is often difficult to distinguish from a bacterial infection. The use of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect viruses in respiratory secretions is potentially beneficial, however, these techniques are not available everywhere. In Ecuador, despite having a high rate of high and low respiratory diseases, we have conducted studies based on the nursing population that are more susceptible to viral infections, our work presented an indirect observational descriptive analytical approach of 103 patients whose diagnosis was the upper respiratory tract infection, 66% of them were classified as common cold and 25% as bronchiolitis, showing that 98% of all clinical cases were of clinical etiology and the prevalence of these respiratory pathologies it was 5% during the period 2014 - 2016
