Objectives: To compare the methods of immunoturbidimetry and immunochromatography for detecting occult blood in stool from children under 4 years old diagnosed with bacterial dysentery at the Madre - Niño San Bartolomé hospital in 2019. Materials and methods: The study is non-experimental due to data collection, cross-sectional, descriptive, and retrospective in nature, covering the period from January to September 2019. It is non-experimental because it collects information from the existing reality without intentionally manipulating variables. It is cross-sectional because laboratory tests are applied only once to the analysis unit. It is descriptive because the facts are described as they were observed. It is retrospective because archived data was collected. Results: Of the 81 patients enrolled in the study, 58.02% (47/81) were male and 41.98% (34/81) were female. The immunochromatography method yielded 25.93% (21/81) positive results and 74.07% (60/81) negative results. In contrast, the immunoturbidimetry method resulted in 39.51% (32/81) positive results and 60.49% (49/81) negative results. Conclusions: There is a significant relationship and correlation between both analytical methods: immunoturbidimetry and immunochromatography. The evaluation performed on the entire study population shows a p-value of 0.00, which is lower than 0.05 (significant relationship p-value) and 0.01 (correlation p-value), respectively.
