Abstract

The article describes the approaches to the diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia in children; Russian diagnostic criteria with high sensitivity and specificity for bacterial etiology of pneumonia are provided. Although etiological structure of pneumonia varies at different ages, leading pathogens are pneumococci; in children under 5 years - Haemophilus influenzae, in adolescents - atypical pathogens: mycoplasma and chlamydia. Against the background of pneumococcal resistance to many antibiotics, the main drug of first choice is amoxycillin in a dosage of 50 mg/kg/day in 2 divided doses (up to 5 years - amoxicillin/clavulanate at the same dose), and for those with suspected resistance flora (children from boarding schools and preschool institutions, as well as contacting with them) - doubling the dose of these drugs. The ineffectiveness of β-lactams provides evidence of probable atypical pneumonia, which requires administration of macrolides.
