Analysis of national surveillance of respiratory pathogens for community-acquired pneumonia in children and adolescents

Abstract: Background Respiratory infections among children, particularly community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), is a major disease with a high frequency among outpatient and inpatient visits. The causes of CAP vary depending on individual susceptibility, the epidemiological characteristics of the community, and the season. We performed this study to establish a nationwide surveillance network system and identify the causative agents for CAP and antibiotic resistance in Korean children with CAP. … Show more

“…Possible reasons for that discrepancy include: 1)Prior to the collection of BALFs, use of antibiotics possibly led to negative HI detection in BALFs. 2)HI had different meanings in the upper and lower respiratory tracts in those patients, or caused inflammation in different parts of the airway in the same case [ 29 , 30 ]. As the length of the hospital stay increased, patient community-acquired Gram positive flora are increasingly replaced by hospital-acquired Gram negative flora, and the risk of hospital acquired pneumonia increases.…”

“…Second, we did not use more sensitive molecular biological diagnostic methods, which might lead to low detention rates of pathogens [ 18 , 31 , 32 ]. Third, the human rhinovirus (HRV) was not studied which has become identified as a more prominent lower airway pathogen than previously suspected [ 5 , 7 , 9 , 16 , 17 , 19 , 21 , 28 , 30 ]. We still believed that our study had unique significances, given that the DFA method was based on the existent of viruses antigens judged by naked eyes with fluorescence microscope, and the routine bacterial culture, which are the two classical methods for pathogens detection.…”

“…This study showed the antibiotic-resistance rate of bacterial pathogens; among a total of 93 cases of S. pneumoniae, 14.1% were resistant to penicillin, 8.7% to cefotaxime, 93.5% to erythromycin, 79.3% to tetracycline, and 1.1% to levofloxacin. 66) As mentioned earlier, the identification of bacteria from the upper respiratory tract does not always determine the causative pathogen of CAP. However, bacterial-virus coinfections may be the causative agents of pneumonia after viral infection.…”

“…We recently reported a nationwide study of the causative pathogen of CAP in Korean children and adolescents. 66) The study was performed at a cooperative hospital monitoring network composed of secondary and tertiary hospitals in six metropolitan areas (Seoul, Gyeonggi Province, Chungcheong Province, Gangwon Province, Jeolla Province, Gyeongsang…”
