Abstract
The aim of the study was to develop methods for the prevention of prolonged community-acquired pneumonia in children. 180 children aged 6 months to 15 years with community-acquired pneumonia of a prolonged course, who are being treated in the department of pulmonology, were examined. Analysis of anamnestic data showed that all children, regardless of the development of the disease, had repeatedly suffered acute respiratory infections, pneumonia, intestinal infections, purulent-septic diseases, characterized by a long, recurrent course and difficult to respond to antimicrobial therapy.
