Publication date: Nov 01, 2025

Respiratory infections are a major cause of morbidity, particularly among young children and older adults. This study aimed to characterize respiratory pathogens detected at Hospital Angeles Lindavista and identify demographic and clinical factors associated with infection patterns. This retrospective study analyzed the distribution of respiratory pathogens in patients seen between 2022 and 2024 at a private tertiary hospital using the FilmArray (Lyon, France: bioMcE9rieux) molecular diagnostic panel. We reviewed variables such as demographic data, patient type, comorbidities, risk factors, diagnosis, detected pathogens, and type of infection. We conducted an exploratory analysis using chi-square tests to identify statistically significant associations between our variables (p
