Background: Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) represent an important cause of morbidity and mortality in children, remaining a major public health concern, especially affecting children under 5 years old from low-income countries. Unfortunately, information regarding their epidemiology is still limited in Peru. Methods: A secondary data analysis was performed from a previous cross-sectional study conducted in children with a probable diagnosis of Pertussis from January 2010 to July 2012. All samples were analyzed via Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) for the following etiologies: Influenza-A, Influenza-B, RSV-A, RSV-B, Adenovirus, Parainfluenza 1 virus, Parainfluenza 2 virus, Parainfluenza 3 virus, Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Chlamydia pneumoniae. Results: A total of 288 patients were included. The most common pathogen isolated was Adenovirus (49%), followed by Bordetella pertussis (41%) f...

Objective: To study the presence of 8 respiratory viruses (Influenza-A, Influenza-B, RSV-A, RSV-B, Adenovirus, Parainfluenza-1, Parainfluenza-2 and Parainfluenza-3) and atypical bacteria (Mycoplasma pneumonia and Chlamydia pneumonia) in samples from Peruvian children under 5 years-old previously analyzed for Bordetella. Pertussis. Methods: A secondary data analysis was performed from a previous cross-sectional study conducted in children with a probable diagnosis of Pertussis from January 2010 to July 2012.

Determinar si existe asociación entre el estado funcional y el tiempo desde el reconocimiento de la enfermedad cerebrovascular isquémica hasta la terapia trombolítica en pacientes atendidos en el Hospital Nacional Daniel Alcides Carrión - 2023. Se emplea un estudio de tipo No experimental y de enfoque cuantitativo, diseño de investigación analítico y de cohorte retrospectiva. La población a estudiar Pacientes con enfermedad cerebrovascular (ECV) isquémica atendidos en el Hospital Nacional Daniel Alcides Carrión, entre enero a diciembre de 2023. Se utilizará un muestreo de tipo no probabilístico por conveniencia para el grupo cohorte I, ya que se analizará a la totalidad de los pacientes que tengan un tiempo de enfermedad menor a 4.5 horas. En cambio, en el grupo de cohorte II, el tipo será probabilístico, debido a que la selección será de manera aleatoria, hasta completa...
