✦ Synopsis
Can use of chest x-ray help in the diagnosis and treatment of children with acute respiratory infections (pneumonia)?
To answer this question, scientists working with the Cochrane Acute Respiratory Infections Group were able to find only one trial involving a total of 522 children (aged two months to five years) diagnosed with acute lower respiratory infections. Participants must have had symptoms for 14 days or less at the time of the first chest x-ray, and be ambulatory (were not so ill they had to be in bed).
