All children with CAP who met the inclusion criteria and were admitted at the San Luis de Otavalo Hospital between March 2017 and June 2018 were evaluated.RESULTS:
No significant differences were observed in clinical responses between indigenous and non-indigenous children.CONCLUSIONS:
The improved healthcare access of the Otavalo's Kichwa population may have contributed to the observed clinical response to CAP treatment.
