Objective: To elaborate an epidemiological profile of lower respiratory diseases in the Pediatrics service of the Ambato general hospital of the IESS in 2017, in order to establish prevention measures to avoid complications. Method: clinical history of 265 pediatric patients of the Ambato general hospital of IESS. Results: We have a distribution of 235 cases of pneumonia representing 88.6%, 14 cases of acute bronchitis with 5.2%, 12 cases of acute bronchiolitis 12 with 4.5% and bronchopneumonia 13 4 cases with 1.5%. Conclusion: lower respiratory infections in the Pediatrics service of the Ambato general hospital of IESS during 2017 represents 15.2% of total admissions.
