✦ Synopsis

Community-acquired pneumonia remains a common and serious illness, which affects children of all age groups. The spectrum of causative organisms is wide and it differs according to the age of patients. Therefore, age is a good predictor of the cause of pneumonia. Because of the nonspecificity, of clinical and radiological findings and the limitations of diagnostic tests for identifying the etiologic pathogen, initial therapy is inevitably empiric.
