Acute respiratory infections are responsible for high morbi–mortality in Peruvian children. However, the etiological agents are poorly identified. This study, conducted during the pandemic outbreak of H1N1 influenza in 2009, aims to determine the main etiological agents responsible for acute respiratory infections in children from Lima, Peru. Nasopharyngeal swabs collected from 717 children with acute respiratory infections between January 2009 and December 2010 were analyzed by multiplex RT-PCR for 13 respiratory viruses: influenza A, B, and C virus; parainfluenza virus (PIV) 1, 2, 3, and 4; and human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) A and B, among others. Samples were also tested with direct fluorescent-antibodies (DFA) for six respiratory viruses. RT-PCR and DFA detected respiratory viruses in 240 (33.5%) and 85 (11.9%) cases, respectively. The most common etiological agents were RSV-A (15.3%), followed by influenza A (4.6%), PIV-1 (3.6%), and PIV-2 (1.8%). The viruses identified by DFA corresponded to RSV (5.9%) and influenza A (1.8%). Therefore, respiratory syncytial viruses (RSV) were found to be the most common etiology of acute respiratory infections. The authors suggest that active surveillance be conducted to identify the causative agents and improve clinical management, especially in the context of possible circulation of pandemic virusesType

Molecular etiological profile of atypical bacterial pathogens, viruses and coinfections among infants and children with community acquired pneumonia admitted to a national hospital in Lima, Perudel Valle-Mendoza, Juana; Silva-Caso, Wilmer; Cornejo-Tapia, Angela; Orellana-Peralta, Fiorella; Verne, Eduardo; Ugarte, Claudia; Aguilar-Luis, Miguel Angel; De Lama-Odría, María del Carmen; Nazario-Fuertes, Ronald; Esquivel-Vizcarra, Mónica; Casabona-Ore, Verónica; Weilg, Pablo; del Valle, Luis J. (2017-12-06)Objective: The main objective of this study was to detect the presence of 14 respiratory viruses and atypical bacteria (Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia pneumoniae), via polymerase chain reaction in patients under 18 years old hospitalized due to community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) from Lima, Peru. Results: Atypical pathogens were detected in 40% (58/146); viral etiologies in 36% (52/146) and coinfections in 19% (27/146). The most common etiological agent was M. pneumoniae (n = 47), followed by C. pneumoniae (n = 11). The most frequent respiratory viruses detected were: respiratory syncytial virus A (n = 35), influenza virus C (n = 21) and parainfluenza virus (n = 10). Viral-bacterial and bacterium-bacterium coinfections were found in 27 cases. In our study population, atypical bacteria (40%) were detected as frequently as respiratory viruses (36%). The presence of M. pneumoniae and C. pneumoniae should not be underestimated as they can be commonly isolated in Peruvian children with CAP.Acceso abierto

Asociación de la suplementación con vitamina A e Infecciones respiratorias agudas, en niños menores de cinco años, según la Encuesta Demográfica y de Salud Familiar ENDES 2016- 2017Bernabé-Ortiz, Antonio; Orrego Bustios, Vanessa Valery; Vidal Del Carpio, Pierina Rossmery (Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas (UPC)PE, 2020-03-02)Objetivos: Determinar si existe asociación entre la suplementación con vitamina A y la presencia de síntomas de infecciones respiratorias agudas, en niños de 6 a 59 meses. Métodos: Análisis de datos secundarios de la Encuesta Demográfica y de Salud Familiar (ENDES), realizada en los años 2016 y 2017, tipo de estudio transversal. La variable de resultado fue la presencia de infecciones respiratorias en los últimos 14 días, reportado por la madre, y la variable de exposición fue la suplementación de al menos una dosis de Vitamina A, de acuerdo a la información del carnet de vacunación, o reporte de la madre. Resultados: Un total de 17668 registros fueron analizados, constituida por mujeres con una edad promedio de 31,6 (DE 10,4) y sus hijos menores con una edad promedio de 30,1 (DE 16,9). La proporción de niños que recibieron suplementación con Vitamina A fue de 40,7% (IC 95%: 39,9%- 41,4%), mientras que, la proporción de niños que reportaron síntomas compatibles con infecciones respiratorias agudas, fue de 33,8% (IC 95%: 33,1%- 34,5%). Ajustado por potenciales confusoras, no se encontró asociación significativa entre suplementación con Vitamina A y síntomas de Infecciones respiratorias (RP = 0,99, IC 95% 0,95- 1,04). Conclusión: Recibir la suplementación de vitamina A no estuvo asociado con la presencia de infecciones respiratorias agudas.Acceso abierto
