  ABSTRACT: Identify the epidemiological characteristics, etiologies and evolutionary aspects of dyspnea in infants. This was a retrospective study of infants hospitalized for dyspnea from January 1 to December 31, 2020. The parameters studied were sex, age, origin, vaccination status, existence of underlying pathology. Underlying, the diagnosis and the evolutionary modalities.

Vaccines according to expanded immunization program (EPI) were up to date in 76.32%. The main antecedents with risk identified were malnutrition, hypotrophy at birth, interventricular communication.
