About prophylactic medical examination of children with acute pneumonia

Nonspecific factors of resistance of the organism of children turned out to be lower in case of localized pneumonia, which can be attributed to the frequent transferred and concomitant diseases and can be considered as the cause of decompensation of protective mechanisms during the period of clinical recovery. When analyzing the developmental histories of children with pneumonia, relapses were found in 30.5% of children after a localized form and in 25.2% after a toxic form. Consequently, follow-up care on an outpatient basis must be carried out regardless of the form of pneumonia transferred.
