Objective: To describe the distribution of pathogens responsible for ARI during the 2009-2010 period in Cajamarca, Peru: in the context of the 2009 AH1N1 influenza virus pandemic. Results: 17 respiratory pathogens (14 viruses and 3 bacteria) were found in 124 children, of which 50% were men and 50% women, with 55.6% (69/124) aged 1 to 5 years and a 15.3% (19/124) from 6 to 11 years old. The most common pathogens were Influenza A (20.2%, 25/124), Mycoplasma pneumoniae (14.5%, 18/124), RSV-A (12.1%, 15/124), Chlamydia pneumoniae (9,7%, 12/124). A specific pathogen could not be identified in 33.8% of patients (42/124). The most common signs and symptoms were fever 90.3%, cough 85.5%, rhinorrhea 74.2% and discomfort 66.9%. Respiratory distress and hospitalization were the most common complications with 37.1% and 28.2% of the cases. A single death was reported in a child diagnosed with influenza A virus. In addition, 12 cases of coinfections were identified: 9 with 2 pathogens, 2 with 3 pathogens, and 1 with 4. Conclusion: The most common respiratory pathogens encountered during the 2009-2010 AH1N1 influenza pandemic were influenza A, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, RSV-A, and Chlamydia pneumoniae. Most pathogens have a similar clinical profile. Several cases of coinfections were detected, with up to 4 pathogens in a single patient.
