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.
