ABSTRACT

A descriptive and cross sectional investigation of 93 patients with acute respiratory infections caused by breathing virus who were admitted in "Juan B. Viñas González" Pediatric Intensive Cares Unit of the Teaching General Hospital from Palma Soriano municipality, Santiago de Cuba was carried out during the five year period 2009-2013, in order to identify the most frequent pathogens in the cultures of nasopharyngeal exudates, by means of the chain reaction technique of polymerase. Infants, the male sex, infections of the low respiratory airways with complications and the syncytial respiratory virus as the most isolated microorganism prevailed in the study. Also, the function of viruses was emphasized in the emergence of acute respiratory infections, and the importance that they can be isolated, in order to achieve a better prevention and an opportune treatment, to avoid complications representing a danger for the life of patients.
