Viral and bacterial antigen and antibody assays were prospectively applied to study the
microbial actiology of community-acquired pneumonia in 195 hospitalised children during a …

Background. Childhood community-acquired pneumonia is a common illness, but there
have been relatively few comprehensive studies of the viral and bacterial etiology in …

Objective-The aim of this investigation was to identify the clinical symptoms and signs of
pneumonia in hospitalised patients with confirmed aetiologic diagnosis and to study whether …

Background. Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in young children is most commonly
associated with viral infections; however, the role of viruses in CAP of school-age children is …

Objective. To describe the characteristics of serologically diagnosed pneumococcal
pneumonia and compare them with those of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) pneumonia …

The serologic responses to bacterial and viral antigens were determined in paired serum
samples from 336 children, ages 1 month to 15 years, with roentgenographically verified …

Seven paediatric studies on community‐acquired pneumonia with serological methods for
both viruses and bacteria have been published, allowing the evaluation of concomitant …

We tried to verify whether the currently employed diagnosis and treatment of community-
acquired pneumonia in children were appropriate. For this purpose, we created tentative …

Objectives. To determine the etiology of community-acquired pneumonia in ambulatory
children and to compare responses to treatment with azithromycin, amoxicillin-clavulanate …

BACKGROUND There are few data on paediatric community acquired pneumonia (PCAP)
