N2 - Introduction: Anaemia and pneumonia are frequent diseases which affect children. However, these two conditions could coexist. The aim of this study is presenting the prevalence of anemia among Ecuadorian children diagnosed with pneumonia, hospitalized in a tertiary hospital. Material and Methods: An observational and cross-sectional study conducted through a secondary source in that 80 children, between six months and 15 years of age were included. All the patients involved were admitted to the paediatric department presenting pneumonia. The medical evaluation included anthropometric measurements and complete blood count. Risk associations were evaluated using odds ratio. Results: Anaemia was found in 21.25% of the whole group. Nonetheless, the children under three years of age were more affected by this condition (18.75%).
