Background: Respiratory diseases include very diverse conditions, acute or chronic changes, difficult to classify and evaluate. The impact of respiratory disease on global health is important. With smoking, continued exposure to high levels of air pollution and the burden of infectious respiratory diseases, the number of people affected by respiratory diseases will continue to increase. Aim and objectives: The purpose of this work was to establish the profile of respiratory conditions of hospitalized patients at Jamot Hospital in Yaoundé. Materials and methods: We carried out a cross sectional study from February 1st, 2018 to May 31st, 2018 (4 months), concerning patients hospitalized for respiratory conditions confirmed or treated as such in the pneumology departments of the Jamot Hospital of Yaounde. This was a consecutive, non-probability sample that included patients of both sexes, at least 18 years of age. Nonconsenting patients were excluded. The data were recorded on a survey sheet containing sociodemographic data, patient history, selected diagnosis, and outcome of patients in hospital. Results: The study population consisted of 209 patients, 57.42% were men; given us a sex ratio of 120:89. The average age was 48.59 ± 18.46 years and the extremes were 18 and 91 years old. The most represented age group was 35-44 years old. The most common antecedents were alcohol consumption (65.55%), HIV infection (45.87%), smoking (36.36%) and tuberculosis (13.40%). Infectious respiratory diseases (86.60%), tuberculosis (47.36%) and acute community-acquired pneumonia (28.23%) were most found. Neoplasias (7.17%) accounted for the largest proportion of non-infectious conditions. The evolution was favorable at 66.98%, with a mortality rate of 19.61%. Conclusion: Alcohol use was the most common risk factors. Respiratory diseases were dominated by infectious diseases (tuberculosis)
