Abstract
The study aims to identify the main symptoms and features of the clinical manifestations of community-acquired pneumonia in relation to age in 652 hospitalized children with community-acquired pneumonia confirmed by X-ray in 2014–2019. Coughing (100 %), fever > 37.5 °С (45.3 %), tachycardia (66.8 %), and tachypnea (18 %) were the most prevalent clinical symptoms in children aged 1 to 14. Rapid breathing in children with acute respiratory symptoms, such as wheezing with rale and retraction, is the most significant clinical marker associated with pneumonia. It is statistically significantly associated with hypoxemia, as well as severe hypoxemia (SpO2 < 92 %), which is the most common in children under the age of six.
