Diagnóstico etiológico das pneumonias: uma visão crítica

Abstract: Objetivo: revisar a literatura quanto ao diagnóstico etiológico das pneumonias agudas na faixa etária pediátrica. Fonte dos dados: revisão sistemática das citações do Medline e do Lilacs.Síntese dos dados: a utilização dos novos métodos diagnósticos, particularmente as técnicas imunológicas e a reação em cadeia da polimerase, de uso ainda incipiente no Brasil, tem se mostrado importante para a investigação epidemiológica e para a melhora no diagnóstico específico em termos de sensibilidade, especificidade e ra… Show more

“…The etiological diagnosis of pneumonia ( J18.9) presents a challenge, considering that the request for microbiological examinations is not routinely performed in health services and, in the short term, the implantation of this type of routine is not feasible, due to its high cost 18 . It would be important, however, to develop studies to evaluate the specific causes of these deaths, especially in children, given the availability of vaccines for some etiologies.…”

“…We regard etiological studies of pneumonia in this age range to be essential. There is a need to develop better technologies for differentiation between bacterial and viral pneumonias, for thus it would be possible to reduce the abusive use of antibiotics, avoiding the development of bacterial resistance [26][27][28][29][30][31][32], a problem already identified in various countries.…”
