Abstract

Pneumonia is an infection affecting the lower airway, where the air sacs are filled with mucus and pus; and typically presents with cough, fever, and fast breathing. Pneumonia is estimated to be the leading cause of mortality in children under five worldwide with 120 million episodes result in 1 million deaths globally. The Low-Income and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) are more affected. In a study in southeast Nigeria, bronchopneumonia accounted for 41.9%, of the cases admitted in the tertiary hospitals and in another hospital based study among children, pneumonia had the highest respiratory admission rates at 34.0%. Pneumonia can be caused by various organisms: Bacterial (Streptococcus, staphylococcus etc), Viral (RSV) and recently COVID 19 pneumonia. RSV has been noted globally to be a major cause of childhood lower respiratory tract infection, with morbidity/mortality occurring in 99% of (LMICs). Some of the long term sequalae are discussed.

早期肺炎的并发症和长期影响。

肺炎是一种影响下呼吸道的感染，气囊内充满粘液和脓液，通常表现为咳嗽、发烧和呼吸急促。据估计，肺炎是全球五岁以下儿童死亡的主要原因，全球有 1.2 亿次发病，导致 100 万人死亡。低收入和中等收入国家（LMICs）受到的影响更大。在尼日利亚东南部的一项研究中，支气管肺炎占三级医院收治病例的 41.9%，而在另一项以医院为基础的儿童研究中，肺炎的呼吸道入院率最高，为 34.0%。肺炎可由多种生物引起：细菌（链球菌、葡萄球菌等）、病毒（RSV）以及最近的 COVID 19 肺炎。在全球范围内，RSV 已成为儿童下呼吸道感染的主要病因，在 99% 的低收入和中等收入国家都有发病/死亡病例。本文讨论了一些长期后遗症。

期刊介绍： Pediatric Pulmonology (PPUL) is the foremost global journal studying the respiratory system in disease and in health as it develops from intrauterine life though adolescence to adulthood. Combining explicit and informative analysis of clinical as well as basic scientific research, PPUL provides a look at the many facets of respiratory system disorders in infants and children, ranging from pathological anatomy, developmental issues, and pathophysiology to infectious disease, asthma, cystic fibrosis, and airborne toxins. Focused attention is given to the reporting of diagnostic and therapeutic methods for neonates, preschool children, and adolescents, the enduring effects of childhood respiratory diseases, and newly described infectious diseases. PPUL concentrates on subject matters of crucial interest to specialists preparing for the Pediatric Subspecialty Examinations in the United States and other countries. With its attentive coverage and extensive clinical data, this journal is a principle source for pediatricians in practice and in training and a must have for all pediatric pulmonologists.
