[Etiology and treatment of pneumonia in children].
The most widespread pathogens of pneumonia in children i.e. Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae and their antibiotic susceptibility are described. The ways of selecting starting antibacterial drugs for the treatment of community-acquired and hospital pneumonia are recommended proceeding from the original findings and some literature data. Oral drugs for the treatment of uncomplicated pneumonia are shown to be preferential. In the treatment of nosocomial or hospital pneumonia the starting regimen should allow for the previous antibacterial therapy.
