Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the results of treatment of pneumococcal pneumonia in children under 5 years old at the Respiratory Department - Nghe An Obstetrics and Children's Hospital. Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional description of 57 patients diagnosed with pneumococcal pneumonia with the age from 1 month to 5 years old treated at the Respiratory Department - Nghe An Obstetrics and Children's Hospital from January to September 2021. Results: Common age ranges from 2 months to 24 months (accounting for 78.9%), male ratio is higher than female (1.8/1) with a statistically significant difference with p<0.05. Most patients use antibiotics according to the antibiogram and 3rd generation cephalosporins were used the most common. The mean duration of treatment was 8.55 ± 3.41 days. The rate of stable and cured patients is 100%, there is no patient transfer or death. Complication rate accounted for 7.02% and mainly pleural effusion. Conclusion: Treatment of pneumococcal pneumonia in children under 5 years old is effective. Cephalosporins are effective antibiotics and are the first choice in the treatment of pneumococcal pneumonia in children under 5 years old.
