          Abstract

          OBJETIVO: Describir el impacto epidemiológico y social de la pandemia de gripa de 1918-1919 en 41 municipios de Boyacá, Colombia. METODOLOGÍA: Estudio descriptivo empírico-analítico, histórico, con enfoque epidemiológico. Se estableció el volumen y estructura de la población y se determinaron tasas de mortalidad para las variables de tiempo, persona y lugar. RESULTADOS: La pandemia se inició en octubre de 1918 en Bogotá y se extendió a Boyacá por carretera. No se encontraron las tres oleadas cronológicas descritas en la literatura. Encontramos diferencias significativas en el comportamiento de la pandemia de gripa en el departamento de Boyacá en comparación con lo descrito en Europa y Norteamérica por la literatura especializada.

          OBJECTIVE: To describe the epidemiological and social impact of the flu pandemic of 1918-1919 in 41 municipalities of Boyacá, Colombia. METHODOLOGY: descriptive, analytical-empiric, historic study with an epidemiological focus. The volume and structure of the population is established and determines the mortality rates for the variables of time, person and place. RESULTS: The pandemic began in October 1918 in Bogotá and reached Boyacá by road. The three chronological waves found in the literature were not identified. We found a significant difference in the behavior of the flu pandemic in the department of Boyacá with that described in Europe and North America by the specialized literature.
