Pneumonia in children should not be ignored

What is the cause of pneumonia in children? Experts point out that it has something to do with the prevalence of respiratory virus infection. Our incidence rate of pneumonia in children is 3%, and pneumonia accounts for 35%~65% of hospitalized children every spring, with a mortality of 5%. Most of them die under 5 years old, especially newborns and children. Wang Xinliang, Department of pediatric medicine, the second hospital of Hebei Medical University

Most of children's pneumonia was bronchopneumonia, most of them had a history of mild upper respiratory virus infection or cold; In the external contact with bacteria, the respiratory defense function is reduced, the bacteria are inhaled into the lower respiratory tract, and propagate in the alveolus. First, the alveolus wall is swollen, and the white blood cells and red blood cells exudate rapidly. The bacterial exudate spreads to the central part of the lung, even to several lung segments or the whole lung lobe, and it is easy to involve the pleura.

Children's pneumonia is generally more acute, parents should pay attention not to ignore the serious harm of children's pneumonia, if the treatment of the disease is delayed, the harm to children is very big.
