Abstract
Due to increase in S. pneumonia resistance to penicillin, macrolides and oral cephalosporin, the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia in children has to be revised. The article presents current (Eurasian and WHO) recommendations on the choice of rational antibiotic therapy for pneumonia in the outpatient setting. The common mistakes in choosing an initial antibacterial drug, replacing an antibiotic, if it is ineffective, and prescribing inadequate dosage are shown by two clinical examples from real outpatient practice. Due to mistakes in the treatment, pneumonia may take a more protracted course and complicate the clinical situation, forcing the physicians to resort to additional tests.
