IDENTIFY SOME VIRUSES CAUSING COMMUNITY- ACQUIRED PNEUMONIA IN CHILDREN FROM 2 MONTHS TO 5 YEARS OLD AT VIETNAM NATIONAL CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: Identifying some viruses in community-acquired pneumonia in children from 2 months to 5 years old at Vietnam National children’s hospital. Methods: Descriptive study, cross-sectional and prospective study. Research location: Vietnam National children’s hospital research period from 2020-2021. Study patients: 113. Research results: The positive rate for viruses in children from 2 months to 5 years old with community-acquired pneumonia is 95,6%, of which positive for 2 viruses for the highest rate of 46,9%. Identified viruses are Rhino (53.1%); RSV (38.9%), Parainfluenza (33.6%), Human Metapneumovirus (hMPV) (13.3%), Coronavirus (7.1%), Adenvirus 8%, Influenza A (2,7%). The rate of only viral infection is higher than the rate of bacterial virus co-infection. The group from 2 months to under 6 months of age has the highest virus positivity rate (100%). Boys are hospitalized for viral community-acquired pneumonia at a higher rate than girls. The positive virus rate did not differ between the two sexes. Conclusion: The positive virus rate in community-acquired pneumonia in children is very high. Determining the viral cause of community-acquired pneumonia in children helps clinicians plan treatment, provide preventive advice, and use antibiotics more appropriately.
