ABSTRACT

Background: the pandemic influenza A H1N1 generated a lot of concern about its potential lethality, because the constant death reported by the media. Our objective was to analyze the clinical characteristics and evolution of children hospitalized in private hospital.
Methods: we included all patients hospitalized since April 2009 to March 2010 with influenza A H1N1 confi rmed by RT-PCR test. The clinical data, imaging studies and treatment and outcome (hospital stay, PICU admission, and deaths) were analyzed.
Results: 50 children were hospitalized 15 less than 3 years old (30 %), 23 from 3 to 5 years (46 %), and 12 older than 5 years (24 %). Any patient required an intensive pediatric care, and there were not deaths. 86 % were admitted for fever, and 40 % with light or moderate respiratory distress symptoms. In 20 patients a radiologic evidence of interstitial infiltration (ten) or pneumonia condensation (four) or airways obstruction (six) were observed. All received oseltamivir treatment and four antibiotic therapies. The median of hospital stay was 48 hours (24 to 72 hours). All were egressed without any complication.
Conclusions: benign evolutions were seeing in the children studied.
