Abstract:
Necrotizing pneumonia is a severe complication of community-acquired pneumonia in children, with no clear deif-nition currently, characterized by parenchymal injury, necrosis and cavity formation. Streptococcus pneumonia is the most common pathogen;however a positive microbiology is not always obtainable. The clinical manifestation of necrotizing pneumonia is more seri-ous than ordinary pneumonia, and complications are common. Chest CT scan is helpful to early detection and diagnosis. Antibio-tics remain the mainstay of treatment, and the prognosis is relatively well.
