Abstract

Introduction: episodes of bronchial obstruction at an early age are a frequent problem in pediatrics. A descriptive, longitudinal, retrospective study was conducted.

Objective: to characterize the behavior of recurrent wheezing in children under 5 years of age belonging to the Bayamo municipality, of the "General Milanés" Teaching Pediatric Provincial Hospital in 2019.

Methods: the sample consisted of 63 patients and the variables age, sex, breastfeeding, previous income, origin, gender of life and possible risk factors were studied. Statistical analysis was performed through estimates of absolute and relative frequencies.

Results: there was a predominance of children aged 1 to 5 years with 52 cases (82.6%) and males, 29 of them belonged to this age group (80.6%); previous admissions of less than 3 days in 37 cases (66.1%) and 56 cases did not receive exclusive breastfeeding, 37 of them accounted for 66.1%; 44 cases had a bad lifestyle (69.8%) and of the 43 cases that came from the urban area, 28 belonged to that kind of life (65.1%); Family pathological history of allergy or asthma and atopy were the most significant wit.

Conclusions: it was found that age from 1 to 5 years, male sex, income of less than three days, without breastfeeding, poor lifestyle, urban origin were those that predominated in the study, as well as family pathological history and atopy as risk factors that exacerbated the disease.
