ABSTRACT

Objective. To compare the main causes of private and government pediatric consultation in a rural area of the Gulf of Veracruz, Mexico.
Material and Methods. Registration of daily private and government consultation of the Clinic 21 IMSS between February, 2001 and December, 2003 were reviewed. First visit and subsequent consultation according to diagnosis, date, sex and age were analyzed.
Results. There were 12,844 pediatric consultations; 46.01% for girls and 53.99% for boys; 55.21% for children under four years of age. Respiratory tract infections were the main cause of consultation with 4,832 patients (37.62%), followed by gastrointestinal tract infections with 1,286 patients (10.01%).
Conclusions. The group of four year-old children was the most affected (6,184 cases, 48.15%); respiratory tract and gastrointestinal tract infections were the most common reason for consultation (57.70%). No statistical significant differences were observed comparing the cause of pediatric consultation in private practice and government facilities.
