CASE DISCUSSION
PEDIATRIC COMMUNITY ACQUIRED
PNEUMONIA
Discussion
◦Etiology
◦Epidemiology
◦Pathophysiology
◦Clinical presentation
◦Diagnostic test
◦Treatment
◦Prognosis
Introduction
◦Globally, pneumonia is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children younger than the age of 5
years. Although the majority of deaths attributed to pneumonia in children are mostly in the developing
world, the burden of disease is substantial, and there are significant healthcare-associated costs related
to pneumonia in the developed world.
Etiology
◦The etiology of pneumonia in the pediatric population can be classified by age-specific versus pathogen-
specific organisms.
◦Neonates are at risk for bacterial pathogens present in the birth canal, and this includes organisms such
as group B streptococci, Klebsiella, Escherichia coli, and Listeria monocytogenes.
◦Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus can be identified in
late-onset neonatal pneumonia. Viruses are the main cause of pneumonia in older infants and toddlers
between 30 days and 2 years old.
◦ In children 2 to 5 years old, respiratory viruses are also the most common. The rise of cases related to S.
pneumoniae and H. influenzae type B is observed in this age group.
◦ Mycoplasma pneumonia frequently occurs in children in the range from 5 to 13 years old. however, S.
pneumoniae is still the most commonly identified organism
PCAP presentation.pdf
Epidemiology
◦There are an estimated 120 million cases of pneumonia annually worldwide, resulting in as many as 1.3
million deaths. Younger children under the age of 2 in the developing world, account for nearly 80% of
pediatric deaths secondary to pneumonia.
Pathophysiology
◦Pneumonia is an invasion of the lower respiratory tract, below the larynx by pathogens either by
inhalation, aspiration, respiratory epithelium invasion, or hematogenous spread. There are barriers to
infection that include anatomical structures (nasal hairs, turbinates, epiglottis, cilia), and humoral and
cellular immunity.
◦Once these barriers are breached, infection, either by fomite/droplet spread (mostly viruses) or
nasopharyngeal colonization (mostly bacterial), results in inflammation and injury or death of
surrounding epithelium and alveoli. This is ultimately accompanied by a migration of inflammatory cells
to the site of infection, causing an exudative process, which in turn impairs oxygenation.
◦In the majority of cases, the microbe is not identified, and the most common cause is of viral etiology
There are four stages of lobar pneumonia. The first stage occurs within 24 hours and is characterized
byalveolar edema and vascular congestion. Both bacteria and neutrophils are present.
◦Red hepatization is the second stage, and it has the consistency of the liver. The stage is characterized
by neutrophils, red blood cells, and desquamated epithelial cells. Fibrin deposits in the alveoli are
common.
◦The third stage of gray hepatization stage occurs 2-3 days later, and the lung appears dark brown.
There is an accumulation of hemosiderin and hemolysis of red cells.
◦The fourth stage is the resolution stage, where the cellula infiltrates is resorbed, and the pulmonary
architecture is restored. If the healing is not ideal, then it may lead to parapneumonic effusions and
pleural adhesion
CLINICAL PRESENTATION
◦Patients associated with pneumonia are nonspecific, including cough, fever, tachypnea, and difficulty
breathing. Young children may present with abdominal pain. Important history to obtain includes the
duration of symptoms, exposures, travel, sick contacts, baseline health of the child, chronic diseases,
recurrent symptoms, choking, immunization history, maternal health, or birth complications in neonates
◦Physical exam should include observation for signs of respiratory distress, including tachypnea, nasal
flaring, lower chest in-drawing, or hypoxia on room air. Note that infants may present with reported
inability to tolerate feeds, with grunting or apnea.
◦Auscultation for rales or rhonchi in all lung fields with the appropriately sized stethoscope can also aid
in diagnosis. In the developed world, other adjuncts like laboratory testing and imaging can be a helpful
part of the physical exam.
◦ No isolated physical exam finding can accurately diagnose pneumonia. However, the combination of
symptoms, including fever, tachypnea, focal crackles, and decreased breath sounds together, raises the
sensitivity for finding pneumonia on x-ray.
◦Pneumonia is a clinical diagnosis that should take into consideration the history of present illness,
physical exam findings, adjunct testing, and imaging modalities

Diagnostics
◦Chest radiography
◦Chest ultrasonography
◦Procalcitonin
◦CBC
◦Sputum GS/CS
Treatment
◦For a patient who has been classified as PCAP A or PCAP B without previous antibiotic, regardless of
the immunization status against Haemophilus influenzae type b or Streptococcus pneumoniae,
1.Amoxicillin trihydrate may be given.
◦It may be given at 40-50 mg/kg/day, maximum dose of 1500 mg/day in 3 divided doses in areas with
proven low antibiotic resistance to amoxicillin.
◦ It may be given at 90 mg/kg/day in areas with proven high amoxicillin resistance.
◦It may be given for a minimum of 3 days.
◦ It may be given in 2 divided doses for a minimum of 5.
2. Azithromycin [10 mg/kg/day OD for 3 days, or 10 mg/kg/day at day 1 then 5 mg/ kg/day for day 2 to
5, maximum dose of 500 mg/day], or Clarithromycin [15 mg/kg/day, maximum dose of 1000 mg/day in
divided doses for 7 days] may be given if there is, known hypersensitivity to amoxicillin
◦And if there is suspicion of atypical organisms particularly Mycoplasma pneumoniae.
◦For a patient who has been classified as PCAP C without previous antibiotic requiring hospitalization,
has completed the primary immunization against Haemophilus influenzae type b,
Penicillin G [100,000 units/kg/day in 4 divided doses] may be given.
has not completed the primary immunization, or immunization status unknown,
against Haemophilus influenzae type b, Ampicillin [100 mg/kg/day in 4 divided doses] may be given.
who can tolerate oral feeding and does not require oxygen support, Amoxicillin [40-50 mg/
kg/day in areas of proven low amoxicillin resistance and 90 mk/kg/day maximum dose of 1500 mg/day
in 3 divided doses for at most 7 days in areas of proven high amoxicillin resistance] may be given on an
outpatient basis.
◦For a patient who has been classified as PCAP D, a specialist may be consulted.
◦For a patient suspected to have community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus,
vancomycinmay be started and a specialist may be consulted
Viral pneumonia
1.For PCAP A, B, C or D in which a non-influenza virus is the suspected pathogen, antiviral drug therapy
may not be beneficial.
2.For PCAP C or D, antiviral drug therapy for clinically suspected or laboratory-confirmed influenza virus
to reduce risk of pneumonia may not be beneficial but time to symptom resolution may be beneficial.
1. Oseltamivir
for infants 3-8 months old at 3 mg/kg per dose twice daily x 5 days
for infants 9-11 months old at 3.5 mg/kg per dose twice daily x 5 days
for >12 months old: body weight 15-23 kg at 45 mg twice daily x 5 days, >23-40 kg at 60 mg
twice daily x 5 days, >40 kg at 75 mg twice daily x 5 days; doses to be started within 48 hours of onset of
influenza-like symptoms.
2. Zanamivir
for children >7 years old at 10 mg (two 5-mg inhalations) twice daily x 5 days, within 36 hours of
onset of influenza-like symptoms
3. Oseltamivir or zanamivir may be beneficial to reduce the burden of pneumonia during a flu epidemic.
4. Symptomatic and ancillary treatment may be beneficial
Prognosis
◦For most children, the prognosis is good. Viral pneumonia tends to resolve without treatment. Long-
term sequelae are rare. However, both staphylococcal and varicella pneumonia have guarded outcomes
in children.
◦Children with tuberculosis are at high risk for disease progression if the condition is not treated
Immunocompromized children have the worst prognosis. Each year, roughly 3 million children die from
pneumonia and the majority of these children also have other comorbidities like congenital heart disease,
immunosuppression, or chronic lung disease of prematurity.

  • 48. Introduction ◦Globally, pneumonia is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children younger than the age of 5 years. Although the majority of deaths attributed to pneumonia in children are mostly in the developing world, the burden of disease is substantial, and there are significant healthcare-associated costs related to pneumonia in the developed world.
  • 49. Etiology ◦The etiology of pneumonia in the pediatric population can be classified by age-specific versus pathogen- specific organisms. ◦Neonates are at risk for bacterial pathogens present in the birth canal, and this includes organisms such as group B streptococci, Klebsiella, Escherichia coli, and Listeria monocytogenes. ◦Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus can be identified in late-onset neonatal pneumonia. Viruses are the main cause of pneumonia in older infants and toddlers between 30 days and 2 years old.
  • 50. ◦ In children 2 to 5 years old, respiratory viruses are also the most common. The rise of cases related to S. pneumoniae and H. influenzae type B is observed in this age group. ◦ Mycoplasma pneumonia frequently occurs in children in the range from 5 to 13 years old. however, S. pneumoniae is still the most commonly identified organism
  • 52. Epidemiology ◦There are an estimated 120 million cases of pneumonia annually worldwide, resulting in as many as 1.3 million deaths. Younger children under the age of 2 in the developing world, account for nearly 80% of pediatric deaths secondary to pneumonia.
  • 53. Pathophysiology ◦Pneumonia is an invasion of the lower respiratory tract, below the larynx by pathogens either by inhalation, aspiration, respiratory epithelium invasion, or hematogenous spread. There are barriers to infection that include anatomical structures (nasal hairs, turbinates, epiglottis, cilia), and humoral and cellular immunity. ◦Once these barriers are breached, infection, either by fomite/droplet spread (mostly viruses) or nasopharyngeal colonization (mostly bacterial), results in inflammation and injury or death of surrounding epithelium and alveoli. This is ultimately accompanied by a migration of inflammatory cells to the site of infection, causing an exudative process, which in turn impairs oxygenation. ◦In the majority of cases, the microbe is not identified, and the most common cause is of viral etiology
  • 54. There are four stages of lobar pneumonia. The first stage occurs within 24 hours and is characterized byalveolar edema and vascular congestion. Both bacteria and neutrophils are present. ◦Red hepatization is the second stage, and it has the consistency of the liver. The stage is characterized by neutrophils, red blood cells, and desquamated epithelial cells. Fibrin deposits in the alveoli are common. ◦The third stage of gray hepatization stage occurs 2-3 days later, and the lung appears dark brown. There is an accumulation of hemosiderin and hemolysis of red cells. ◦The fourth stage is the resolution stage, where the cellula infiltrates is resorbed, and the pulmonary architecture is restored. If the healing is not ideal, then it may lead to parapneumonic effusions and pleural adhesion
  • 55. CLINICAL PRESENTATION ◦Patients associated with pneumonia are nonspecific, including cough, fever, tachypnea, and difficulty breathing. Young children may present with abdominal pain. Important history to obtain includes the duration of symptoms, exposures, travel, sick contacts, baseline health of the child, chronic diseases, recurrent symptoms, choking, immunization history, maternal health, or birth complications in neonates ◦Physical exam should include observation for signs of respiratory distress, including tachypnea, nasal flaring, lower chest in-drawing, or hypoxia on room air. Note that infants may present with reported inability to tolerate feeds, with grunting or apnea.
  • 56. ◦Auscultation for rales or rhonchi in all lung fields with the appropriately sized stethoscope can also aid in diagnosis. In the developed world, other adjuncts like laboratory testing and imaging can be a helpful part of the physical exam. ◦ No isolated physical exam finding can accurately diagnose pneumonia. However, the combination of symptoms, including fever, tachypnea, focal crackles, and decreased breath sounds together, raises the sensitivity for finding pneumonia on x-ray. ◦Pneumonia is a clinical diagnosis that should take into consideration the history of present illness, physical exam findings, adjunct testing, and imaging modalities
  • 60. Treatment ◦For a patient who has been classified as PCAP A or PCAP B without previous antibiotic, regardless of the immunization status against Haemophilus influenzae type b or Streptococcus pneumoniae, 1.Amoxicillin trihydrate may be given. ◦It may be given at 40-50 mg/kg/day, maximum dose of 1500 mg/day in 3 divided doses in areas with proven low antibiotic resistance to amoxicillin. ◦ It may be given at 90 mg/kg/day in areas with proven high amoxicillin resistance. ◦It may be given for a minimum of 3 days. ◦ It may be given in 2 divided doses for a minimum of 5.
  • 61. 2. Azithromycin [10 mg/kg/day OD for 3 days, or 10 mg/kg/day at day 1 then 5 mg/ kg/day for day 2 to 5, maximum dose of 500 mg/day], or Clarithromycin [15 mg/kg/day, maximum dose of 1000 mg/day in divided doses for 7 days] may be given if there is, known hypersensitivity to amoxicillin ◦And if there is suspicion of atypical organisms particularly Mycoplasma pneumoniae.
  • 62. ◦For a patient who has been classified as PCAP C without previous antibiotic requiring hospitalization, has completed the primary immunization against Haemophilus influenzae type b, Penicillin G [100,000 units/kg/day in 4 divided doses] may be given. has not completed the primary immunization, or immunization status unknown, against Haemophilus influenzae type b, Ampicillin [100 mg/kg/day in 4 divided doses] may be given. who can tolerate oral feeding and does not require oxygen support, Amoxicillin [40-50 mg/ kg/day in areas of proven low amoxicillin resistance and 90 mk/kg/day maximum dose of 1500 mg/day in 3 divided doses for at most 7 days in areas of proven high amoxicillin resistance] may be given on an outpatient basis.
  • 63. ◦For a patient who has been classified as PCAP D, a specialist may be consulted. ◦For a patient suspected to have community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, vancomycinmay be started and a specialist may be consulted
  • 64. Viral pneumonia 1.For PCAP A, B, C or D in which a non-influenza virus is the suspected pathogen, antiviral drug therapy may not be beneficial. 2.For PCAP C or D, antiviral drug therapy for clinically suspected or laboratory-confirmed influenza virus to reduce risk of pneumonia may not be beneficial but time to symptom resolution may be beneficial.
  • 65. 1. Oseltamivir for infants 3-8 months old at 3 mg/kg per dose twice daily x 5 days for infants 9-11 months old at 3.5 mg/kg per dose twice daily x 5 days for >12 months old: body weight 15-23 kg at 45 mg twice daily x 5 days, >23-40 kg at 60 mg twice daily x 5 days, >40 kg at 75 mg twice daily x 5 days; doses to be started within 48 hours of onset of influenza-like symptoms. 2. Zanamivir for children >7 years old at 10 mg (two 5-mg inhalations) twice daily x 5 days, within 36 hours of onset of influenza-like symptoms 3. Oseltamivir or zanamivir may be beneficial to reduce the burden of pneumonia during a flu epidemic. 4. Symptomatic and ancillary treatment may be beneficial
  • 66. Prognosis ◦For most children, the prognosis is good. Viral pneumonia tends to resolve without treatment. Long- term sequelae are rare. However, both staphylococcal and varicella pneumonia have guarded outcomes in children. ◦Children with tuberculosis are at high risk for disease progression if the condition is not treated Immunocompromized children have the worst prognosis. Each year, roughly 3 million children die from pneumonia and the majority of these children also have other comorbidities like congenital heart disease, immunosuppression, or chronic lung disease of prematurity.
