Abstract

The study aims to analyze changes in the etiology of community-acquired pneumonia in children before and after use of conjugate vaccinations against Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae type b in order to develop diagnostic strategies and empirical methods of treatment. The scientific literature on demographic indicators and the trigger profile of community-acquired pneumonia in children before and after massive use of conjugate vaccines in many countries was searched for in PubMed, Web of Science, and RISC and reviewed. Routine Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccination rapidly lowered the morbidity and severity of community-acquired pneumonia in children. There was a dramatic decline in common bacterial triggers and an increase in viruses and atypical bacteria (Mycoplasma pneumoniae) in the etiology of community-ac- quired pneumonia in children.
