Se incluyeron menores de 5 años con criterios de severidad de neumonía, encontrándose 78 casos en 2017 y 75 casos en 2018, el grupo etario más afectado fue de 1m a 11meses con el 60,8%. El síntoma que predominó en el 91,5% fue la taquipnea, seguido de fiebre y dificultad respiratoria, ameritando ingreso a unidad de cuidados intensivos pediátricos en el 77,8% de los casos.
