Abstract

Se realizó un estudio descriptivo - retrospectivo de 1463 pacientes ingresados con fiebre prolongada en el servicio de Medicina Interna del Hospital General Universitario «Abel Santamaría» de Pinar del Río, en la década transcurrida desde enero de 1992 hasta diciembre del 2001. Se precisaron aspectos epidemiológicos, etiológicos, de diagnóstico y terapéuticos. Encontramos una tasa de incidencia de 18.9 por 100000 habitantes, con predominio del sexo masculino y procedencia rural (904 y 973 pacientes respectivamente). La etiología mas reportada fue la infecciosa (72.53 %), seguida por la fiebre de origen desconocido (15.65 %). Se confirmó el valor de la clínica para el diagnóstico y el uso inadecuado que en ocasiones se hace de los antimicrobianos.
