title: [Incidence of community-acquired pneumonia and pneumococcal pneumonia, among children in Chiba City, Japan].
abstract: Population-based studies on community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) are rare in Japan. Among 984 Chiba City children admitted with CAP to 19 local hospitals in 2005, 854 were younger than 5 years old. The annual CAP incidence among children < 5 years old was 19.7 per 1,000. Five, 4 of whom were under 5 years old, had pneumococcus isolated from blood. The incidence of CAP with pneumococcal bacteremia was 9.21 per 100,000 among those < 5 years old.
