“…The commonest auscultator finding is predominantly wheeze and crepitation ( 30% ) which is comparable to Salwa Ahmad Al-Najjar et al study (82%); followed by no finding seen in 19% cases, only wheeze 18% cases, only crepitation in 10% cases, predominantly crepitation with wheeze in 9% cases, diminished Vesicular breath sound (VBS) in 9% cases, Predominantly Bronchial breath sound (BBS) with crepitation and wheeze in 3% cases, diminished Vesicular breath sound with wheeze in 2% cases were present. In my study, Auscultatory chest findings were present bilaterally in 49% cases, in right lung 23% cases, in left lung 11% cases [4].…”

“…This study also consistent with Brazilian study which showed pulmonary infiltrate and consolidation in 161 cases (54%) and 119(40%) respectively. In this study Interstitial pneumonia was seen in 15 cases (5%) but Salwa Ahmad Al-Najjar et al study showed that it is as common as that of consolidation [4][5][6].…”

“…In this study of three hundred patients; 294(98%) were having abnormal chest x-ray and this finding is comparable with Ali Salih KEM, et al study (52.3%), but it is greater than Salwa Ahmad Al-Najjar et al study (42.4%), Njeze et al study (37%) and Mulholland et al study(34%). All of the above study was done on patients who have pneumonia but my study was conducted on patients only who have Tachypnea, so we can explain the difference [1,3,4].…”

“…All children had signs and symptoms of respiratory infections for instance, fever (87.4%), shortness of breath (99.5 %),cough (98%), tachypnea (73.5%), wheezes (93.3% ), chest retraction (80%), crepitations (82%) and, 42.4% of chest X-rays showed focal infiltrations. Three clinical parameters related to pneumonia diagnosed by chest X-ray these were, chest retraction with sensitivity of 80%, and specificity of 88.29%), tachypnea with sensitivity of 73.5% and specificity of 56.59% fever with sensitivity of 87.42% and specificity of 60.98% [4].…”

“…One study reports 53.2% of patients with severe pneumonia have chest X ray findings [1] and also other study shows 50% of chest X-rays were positive [2]. Other two reports were 42.4% [3] and 34% [4].There is some variation but not significant.…”

Introduction: Respiratory diseases are the commonest cause of death in children under 5 year. Pneumonia is the leading killer of children worldwide. In developing countries childhood pneumonias are diagnosed using clinical parameters, usually based on presence of cough and increased respiratory rate. Although this is cheap, sensitive and maximizes the number of children identified and treated empirically, it is also nonspecific and highly dependent on the context in which it is being applied. So the simple chest radiograph has been an important investigative tool in the diagnoses of diseases, since the discovery of X-rays in late nineteenth century. Chest radiograph is frequently used in the management of acute lower respiratory infection in children and still considered to be the gold standard for diagnosing respiratory infection and pneumonia. Objectives: To study the role of chest radiographs in diagnosing the etiology of tachypnea in children less than five years of age and to correlate findings of chest radiographs with etiology of tachypnea. Materials and Methods: A case control study was conducted in the Department of Pediatric Medicine, CNMC, Kolkata on tachypneic children aged between 2 months to 59 months during October 2017 to September 2018, presenting to Pediatric OPD, CNMC (Calcutta National Medical College) with clinical features of tachypnea. Chest Radiographs were done and evaluated. Analysis was done by SPSS 20 software. Results: In this present study, Among 300 patients Brochiolitis was diagnosed in 30% cases, Pneumonia in 26% cases, Asthma in 15% cases, Bronchopneumonia in 8% cases; Pleural effusion and Pneumothorax in 4% cases each; Bronchiectasis, Foreign body impaction, Milliary Tuberculosis(TB), Space occupying lesion were diagnosed in 2% cases each. The comparisons between Chest x-ray findings with Final diagnosis and Patient outcomes were significant (p value <0.001). Conclusions: In this study I have seen that chest X-ray can give useful information about the presence of pneumonia more commonly in patients who complain of cough and tachypnea for 3 days and more. So physicians should have to select patients who need x-rays to avoid unnecessary exposure to radiation and wastage of time and money for all patients with pneumonia

ABSTRAKBalita pneumonia mengalami batuk, napas cepat, dan ronkhi. Madu memiliki efek antimikroba dan antibodi yang dapat menghambat pertumbuhan agen mikroba penyebab pneumonia. Tujuan penelitian: mengetahui pengaruh pemberian madu terhadap frekuensi batuk, frekuensi napas, dan ronkhi balita pneumonia. Metode: Desain penelitian quasi-experimental: pre-test-post-test, non-equivalent control group. Jumlah sampel 34 balita berdasarkan rumus besar sampel kategorik berpasangan. Kelompok intervensi sejumlah 17 orang, diberikan madu murni 2,5 cc 30 menit sebelum anak tidur malam (± pukul 18.00) selama 3 hari. Kelompok kontrol sejumlah 17 orang diberikan air putih 2,5 cc 30 menit sebelum anak tidur malam (± pukul 18.00) selama 3 hari. Pengukuran hasil penelitian dilakukan pada hari pertama sebelum perlakuan dan hari keempat setelah perlakuan. Instrumen yang digunakan ialah timer, stetoskop, lembar observasi, dan kuesioner. Analisis data bivariat berpasangan menggunakan marginal homogenity, pair t test, dan Mc Nemar. Analisis data bivariat tidak berpasangan menggunakan Kolmogorov Smirnov, Fisher exact, dan independent t test. Hasil: Hasil penelitian menemukan adanya pengaruh yang bermakna pada pemberian madu terhadap frekuensi batuk (p=0,001), frekuensi napas (p=0,0001), dan ronkhi (p=0,012) antara kelompok kontrol dan kelompok intervensi. Kesimpulan: Rekomendasi penelitian ialah perlu menerapkan pemberian madu pada balita pneumonia untuk menurunkan batuk, frekuensi napas, dan ronkhi.Kata Kunci: balita pneumonia, frekuensi batuk, frekuensi napas, madu, ronkhi.EFFECT OF HONEY ON FREQUENCY OF COUGH, RESPIRATION AND RHONCHI IN UNDER-FIVE CHILDREN WITH PNEUMONIAABSTRACTUnder-five children with pneumonia experience cough, rapid breathing, and rhonchi. Honey has antimicrobial and antibody effects which can inhibit the growth of pneumonia-causing microbial agents. Objective: To identify the effect of honey on frequency of cough, respiration, and rhonchi in under-five children with pneumonia. Methods: This study employed quasi- experimental research with pretest-posttest, non-equivalent control group. The number of samples of 34 under-five children based on the formula of categorical paired samples. The intervention group numbering 17 people was given 2.5 cc ofpure honey 30 minutes before the child slept at night (± 06:00pm) for 3 days. The control group numbering 17people was given 2.5 cc ofwater 30 minutes before the child slept at night (± 06:00pm) for 3 days. The study results were measured on the first day before treatment and the fourth day after treatment. The instruments used were timer, stethoscope, observation sheet, and questionnaire. Paired bivariate data were analyzed using marginal homogeneity, pair t test, and Mc Nemar. Unpaired bivariate data were analyzed of using Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Fisher’s exact, and independent t-test. Results: The study results found a significant effect of giving honey on frequency of cough (p=0.001), frequency of respiration (p=0.0001), and rhonchi (p=0.012) between the control group and the intervention group. Conclusion: This study recommends to give honey to under-five children with pneumonia to decrease cough, frequency of respiration, and rhonchi.Keywords: under-five children with pneumonia, frequency of cough, frequency of respiration, honey, rhonchi.
