Abstract:
A study on 151 pneumonia children aged from 1 to 60 months admitted to Thanh Nhan Hospital from November 2001 to September 2002. Results: the highest pneumonia rate was children from 1 month to 2 years of age (64.24%). Males were more than females at all ages, most of children admitted hospital with mild pneumonia. The rate of isolated bacteria (+) was 29.4%. Among 44 cases with bacteria (+), 40 cases ( 99.91 %) were infected with a single bacterium and only 4 cases (10.09%) with 2 pathogens (both due to S. pneumonia and H. influenza). The common bacteria causing pneumonia in children included Hemophilus influenza (39.58%) and Streptococcus pneumonia (35.42%). H. influenza was sensitive with cefotaxim 100%, cephalothin 72.22%, cefuroxim 50%, but was strong resistant with erythromycin 86.66%, oxacillin 85.71%. Streptococcus pyogenes is most sensitive with 3rd generation cephalosporin such as ceftriaxon, cefotaxim, but strong resist with cefoperazon, co-trimoxazol, gentamicin, penicillin G
