ABSTRACT
The Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) constitute an important problem of public health, in this case they are recognized like the main cause of pediatric morbility and the frequent reason for its application in health services. Objective: To identify the epidemiologic and clinical characteristics of the infections produced by the new respiratory, emergent and conventional viruses in the samples of nasopharyngeal secretions. Method: it was realized a descriptive, epidemiologic study in children under 15 years, hospitalized in ¨General Luis Ángel Milanés Tamayo¨ Teaching pediatric hospital in Bayamo, Granma, in the period between december 1rst, 2010 to december 31, 2011. The universe was constituted by 144 patients with the diagnostic of Acute Respiratory Infection, with nasopharyngeal exudates and the sample had 119 cases with positive viral isolations. Results: The group of age between 1 to 4 years with 47, 08% and the male sex with 55, 46% prevailed. The pneumonias and Bronchopneumonias were the most frequent diagnostics with 28 and 26 cases. The emergent respiratory viruses found in the samples were the Metapneumovirus and the Human Bocavirus with 12 cases each one. Conclusions: The children under 5 years with diagnostics of pneumonias, Bronchopneumonias and the Acute Catarrhal Rhinopharyngitis were the most affected. The virus of the Influenza A H1N1 and the Rhinovirus isolated with greater frequency in the group of 1 to 4 years and the Respiratory Sincitial virus in children under a year.REFERENCES
