Resultados: existió un predominio del sexo masculino con un 91 %, siendo el grupo etario más afectado el de 17 a 22 años para un 60,7 %. El 19,6 % de los enfermos procedían del municipio Calimete. El dolor abdominal, seguido de las diarreas fueron los síntomas más referidos por los pacientes para un 96,4 % y 94,6 %, respectivamente.
