Recurrent Pneumonia in Children: A Reasoned Diagnostic Approach and a Single Centre Experience

Abstract: Recurrent pneumonia (RP), i.e., at least two episodes of pneumonia in one year or three episodes ever with intercritical radiographic clearing of densities, occurs in 7.7%–9% of children with community-acquired pneumonia. In RP, the challenge is to discriminate between children with self-limiting or minor problems, that do not require a diagnostic work-up, and those with an underlying disease. The aim of the current review is to discuss a reasoned diagnostic approach to RP in childhood. Particular emphasis has… Show more

“…One clear definition of the process has not been accepted by now, making it difficult to diagnose. In pediatric patients there is a suggestion to define recurrent pneumonia as two or more episodes of illness per year, or more than three episodes for any period of time, with radiographic evidence clearing the densities between the episodes [13,14]. The data on the frequency of Orphan pathology is isolated and fragmentary in the cases of recurrent lower respiratory tract.…”

“…Окрім того, на тлі змін імунітету у ДЧХ мікробна флора слизової оболонки (СО) верх ніх дихальних шляхів (ВДШ) починає теж змінюватися із заміщенням облігатної мікро флори, яка колонізує слизові оболонки у здо рових дітей, на патогенні мікроорганізми. Тен денція до зведення мікрофлори СО ВДШ до монокультури також може сприяти розвит ку частих ГРЗ у дітей [12,13,14].…”
