R. diarreas estivales factores ambientales serie temporal Summer diarrhea environmental factors seasonal series The objective of this study was to analyze the profile of patients under five years old who consulted because of diarrhea during the summer months and describe the tendency of appearance of these casesin this period. The population was made up of 1910 patients under five years old seen at the Hospital PúblicoMaternoInfantil from December 2012 to March 2013. Forty seven percent were girls and 36% of the children were a year old at the time of consultation. The seasonal nature of the studied phenomenon was fragmented and analysis was concentrated in the summer month with the highest prevalence of diarrhea. Likewise, through softening techniques, two growth periods were identified in January and February with more intensity. No significant differences were observed at initial diagnosis for the consultations in both periods, except for dehydration cases which were significantly more in the first week of January, probably related to the low level of alert of children care-takers El objetivo fue analizar el perfil de los pacientes menores de 5 años que consultaron por diarreas infantiles en los meses de verano y describir la tendencia de la presentación de casos en este periodo. La población de fueron 1910 pacientes menores de 5 años que consultaron en el HPMI, en los meses de diciembre 2012 a marzo de 2013. El 47 % fueron niñas. El 36% de los niños tenía un año de edad al momento de la consulta. La estacionalidad típica del fenómeno estudiado, se fragmentó, concentrando el análisis en los meses estivales de mayor prevalencia de diarreas. Asimismo, mediante técnicas de suavizado, se identificaron dos periodos de crecimiento en los meses de enero y febrero con mayor intensidad en éste. No se presentaron diferencias significativas en los diagnósticos iniciales para las consultas de ambos periodos, salvo para cuadros de deshidratación que se presentaron significativamente en mayor cantidad en la primera semana de enero, probablemente relacionado al bajo nivel de alerta de los cuidadores de los niños.
