Brief Summary:
This study aimed to analyses the clinical characteristics risk factors and underlying causes as predictors of recurrent pneumonia in children attending AUCH
Detailed Description:
Pneumonia is defined as inflammation of lung parenchyma due to various pathogenic organisms including bacteria viruses fungi and parasites The key symptom to suspect childhood pneumonia is tachypnea The World Health Organization WHO has defined tachypnea as respiratory rate 60 breathsmin in infants less than 2 months 50 in infants 2 -12 months and 40 in children 1 to 5 years and 20 in children 5 years of age 1 WHO has categorized pneumonia in children under-five years of age into two categories pneumonia and severe pneumonia Tachypnea with or without chest retraction is categorized as pneumonia while tachypnea with any danger signs unable to feed or drink hypothermia unconsciousness convulsion signs of hypoxia including cyanosis grunting groaning head nodding as severe pneumonia 1
Pneumonia is a common and described as the overlooked killer of children2 as killing 11-14 million children every year It accounts for 17-19 of all deaths amongst children under 5 years of age the majority of them are in developing countries 34 In Egypt children under 5 years approximate 134 of the total population4 and pneumonia constitutes 19 of under-five mortality5
Recurrent pneumonia RP is defined as at least two episodes of pneumonia in one year or three episodes ever with intercritical radiographic clearing of densities 6 Incidence data indicate that RP occurs in 77-9 of all children with CAP 789101112 As a result RP represents a frequent presenting manifestation in the general pediatric practice and is a very common reason for referral to pediatric chest physicians 7 Factors linked to these infections could be recurrent aspirations congenital structural anomalies of pulmonary and cardiovascular systems defects in the clearance of airway secretions and immunodeficiency 13
