It was achieved a retrospective study with 238 cases in infant age, entered at Infections Section of Children's Hospital "Miguel Servet" of Zaragoza, during 18 years (1972-1989) studying epidemiologic and clinic factors.

The most affected group were among 0-5 years old (39.075%) of whom 53.76% were male. It was a little prevalence during winter and spring months. The middle-drop social class were the most affected. The epidemiologic ambient was positive in 31.4%. Only were vaccinated 33.6% of children. We observed more clinic forms among nonvaccinated.
