On the other hand, with regard to diseases of the digestive system, it is predominant to evaluate acute diarrheal disease, of which it is common to see at least 3 episodes in children per year. 2 - 6With regard to acute respiratory diseases, as shown in a study conducted at the Centro Materno Infantil of Lima, the most prevalent are the common cold, heading the list, followed by acute pharyngitis and rhinopharyngitis the study showed that these three respiratory pathologies had a prevalence of over 20% each, of the 4050 histories taken in the investigation.
This is a worrying fact, since both conditions are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in children in developing countries. However, it should be noted that the Peruvian report mentions that the most frequent pediatric diseases are those of respiratory origin, such as acute respiratory infections, pneumonia, bronchial obstructive syndrome and asthma, with acute diarrheal disease in second place. 1When analyzing the data shown, we realize that it is possible to compare the results shown in their study in the Peruvian territory, since there is evidence from the Dirección de Epidemiología of the Dirección Regional de Salud (DIRESA) - Amazonas 2which mentions a high prevalence of respiratory and digestive diseases, which are considered, as in the study conducted at the Mexican airport, to be more frequent.
where they show us the most registered diseases in medical attention in the emergency medical service of an international airport in Mexico. We have read with great interest the article "Pediatric diseases with greater frequency in an international airport in Mexico" by Figueroa-Uribe A, et.
