To determine whether Exclusive Breastfeeding is a protective factor of community-acquired pneumonia in children under five years of age at the Belen Hospital of Trujillo during the period 2014-2016. Material and Methods: An analytical, observational, retrospective, case-control study was conducted. The study population consisted of 108 children under 5 years of age; which were divided into 2 groups: with community acquired pneumonia or without it; the odds ratio and chi-square test were calculated. Results: There were no significant differences in relation to the variables age, sex or origin among patients with or without community acquired pneumonia (p <0.05). The frequency of exclusive breastfeeding in children under five with a diagnosis of community acquired pneumonia was 31%. The frequency of exclusive breastfeeding in children under five without diagnosis of community acquired pneumonia was 72%. Exclusive breastfeeding is a protective factor of community-acquired pneumonia in children under five with an odds ratio of 0.17 which was significant (p <0.05). Conclusions: Exclusive breastfeeding is a protective factor of community-acquired pneumonia in children under five years of age.
