Research Progress of Epidemiology and Etiology of Community-acquired Pneumonia in Children

社区获得性肺炎(community acquired pneumonia,CAP)仍然是造成全球儿童死亡的常见原因,尤其是造成5岁以下儿童死亡的首要原因。目前儿童CAP的管理(包括病原学诊断、疫苗引进后疾病流行病学变化情况等)仍有许多问题尚不明确,现对儿童CAP的流行病学和病原学的研究现状进行综述,从而为该病的防治提供帮助。

Community-acquired pneumonia （CAP） remains a frequent cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and also is the leading cause of death among children aged less than 5 years. There are a number of unanswered questions concerning the management of CAP, including the difficulty of identifying its etiology, and the lack of information concerning the changes in CAP epidemiology following the introduction of vaccines against respiratory pathogens. In order to provide help for the prevention and treatment of disease, the current state of knowledge on Community-acquired pneumonia in children, including epidemiology and etiology were summarized.
