Pneumonia is an acute lung inflammation that children and teenagers are easy to suffer from, and it has been named pneumonia in ancient times. Before the advent of antibiotics, about 1/3 of patients with pneumonia would not escape this disaster. Since the advent of antibiotics, the mortality rate of pneumonia has plummeted, but the incidence remains high. Today, about 1.4 million children worldwide die of pneumonia every year, while developing countries account for up to 99 per cent.

At present, it can be said that pneumonia is the number one killer of children in developing countries, and this is also because pneumonia is caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi, microorganisms, as well as radiation, inhaled foreign bodies and many other chemical and physical factors. Among these causes, pneumonia caused by bacteria accounts for a large proportion, which is usually cured in a week or ten days after treatment with antibiotics.

Pneumococci

Viral pneumonia, which is mild and short in the course of symptoms, will be cured in about a week. But no matter what causes pneumonia, one of the main causes is weak resistance, easy to catch colds, children are very playful and tired, as well as direct or indirect smoking, and so on. In these antecedents, pneumococci and other bacteria or viruses that often enter the lungs with breathing can easily lead to pneumonia.

In terms of pathological morphology, the common types of pneumonia are lobar pneumonia, bronchopneumonia, interstitial pneumonia and bronchiolitis; one of the pathogens of pneumonia is bacterial pneumonia, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, etc.; second, viral pneumonia, common viruses include syncytial virus, influenza virus, parainfluenza virus, adenovirus and so on. Third, other types of pneumonia, such as fungal pneumonia, mycoplasma pneumonia, chlamydia pneumonia and so on.

Viral pneumonia

In the prevention and treatment methods, not only to strengthen the physical resistance of children, but also to carry out vaccination, such as Haemophilus influenzae vaccine, pneumonia vaccine and so on, but patients with allergic constitution are not suitable for vaccination. There are also a variety of objective precautions, such as patients with Hodgkin's disease, if they want to be vaccinated against pneumonia, they need to be vaccinated 10 days before treatment; if they need radiotherapy or chemotherapy, they should be 14 days in advance, and so on.
