Resumen
La GEA se define como una disminución de la consistencia de las deposiciones o un aumento en el número de las mismas (3 o más en 24 horas), que puede ir acompañada de vómitos, dolor abdominal y/o fiebre. Su duración suele ser menor de 7 días y para considerarla como aguda, siempre menor de 2 semanas. La GEA es más frecuente y potencialmente más grave en menores de 5 años y, sobre todo, en los primeros meses de vida. Se revisaron los casos admitidos en el Hospital General Martin Icaza de la ciudad de Babahoyo con cuadros sospechosos de Gastroenteritis aguda dentro del periodo comprendido entre los años 2014 al 2015, se tomó una muestra de 113 pacientes de los cuales el 61% fue masculino; fue más frecuente en el grupo de niños de 3 a 5 años; la mayoría (63%) de los niños afectados pertenecían a zonas rurales. El 85% de los pacientes contaba con servicios básicos completos y solamente el 19% requirió hospitalización. En términos generales la GEAI constituye el 15% de las consultas al servicio de emergencia pediátrica del Hospital. A pesar de que un porcentaje menor requirió hospitalización se recomienda insistir en el reconocimiento de los signos de alarma de deshidratación para evitar complicaciones.

Its duration is usually less than 7 days and to consider as acute, always less than 2 weeks. The AGE is more frequent and potentially more severe in children under 5 years and, especially, in the first months of life. We reviewed the cases admitted to the Hospital General Martin Icaza in the city of Babahoyo with suspected cases of acute gastroenteritis within the period from 2014 to 2015, a sample of 113 patients was taken, of which 61% were male; It was more frequent in the group of children from 3 to 5 years; The majority (63%) of affected children belong to rural areas. 85% of the patients had basic services and only 19% required hospitalization. In general terms, AIGE constitutes 15% of the visits to the hospital's pediatric emergency service. Although a lower percentage of hospitalization is recommended to insist on the recognition of signs of dehydration alarm to avoid complications.
