| Abstract (English): | Objective : To describe the epidemiological profile of children under 18 years of age seen at the Hospital Universitario San Ignacio for etiology other than acute respiratory infection or confirmed COVID-19 during the first mandatory social isolation. Methodology : A retrospective descriptive observational retrospective study of the records of patients under 18 years of age attended at the Hospital Universitario San Ignacio for pathology other than acute respiratory infection or COVID-19; from March 24 to August 31, 2020. Results : Of the 955 patients collected, 461 (48%) consulted for non-respiratory causes or the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection. 40,3% were between 0 and 3 years old, and 33,2% were between 12 and 17 years old. 25% corresponded to acute chronic pathology and 75% of the visits required hospitalization. The main global diagnoses were neonatal jaundice, acute appendicitis, urinary tract infection, and adolescent mental health pathology. Conclusions : Most patients had acute and non-preventable pathologies. There was evidence of late consultations; more severe clinical conditions with a higher percentage of hospitalization; and a significant number of mental health problems in the adolescent group.

| Abstract (Spanish): | Objetivo : Describir el perfil epidemiológico en menores de 18 años atendidos en el Hospital Universitario San Ignacio (HUSI) por una etiología diferente a una infección respiratoria aguda o confirmada de COVID-19 durante el primer aislamiento social obligatorio. Metodología : Estudio observacional descriptivo retrospectivo de los registros de pacientes menores de 18 años atendidos en el HUSI por una patología diferente a infección respiratoria aguda o por COVID-19, desde el 24 de marzo hasta el 31 de agosto de 2020. Resultados : De 955 pacientes recolectados, 461 (48%) consultaron por causas no respiratorias ni diagnóstico de infección por SARS-CoV-2. El 40,3% tenía entre 0, y 3 años y el 33,2%, de 12 a 17 años. El 25% correspondió a una patología crónica agudizada y el 75% de las atenciones requirieron hospitalización. Los principales diagnósticos globales fueron ictericia neonatal, apendicitis aguda, infección urinaria y patología de salud mental en adolescentes. Conclusiones : La mayoría de los pacientes cursaron con patologías agudas y no prevenibles. Se evidenciaron consultas tardías, cuadros clínicos de mayor severidad con mayor porcentaje de hospitalización y un número importante de problemas de salud mental en el grupo de adolescentes.
