Viral-bacterial pneumonia in children and their emergency treatment

The study included 100 children with acute respiratory viral infections: 30 with adenovirus infection, 26 with influenza, 112 with respiratory syncytial infection, 9 with parainfluenza and 123 with mixed viral infections. In all children, the disease was complicated by pneumonia, predominantly staphylococcal in nature. Viral-staphylococcal pneumonia was more often recorded in children under the age of 1 year; their course was especially severe, toxic forms with neurotoxicosis, encephalitic reaction, cardiac and severe respiratory failure with obstructive syndrome prevailed. Due to the timely use of syndromic, complex antibacterial and stimulating therapy, 96 children experienced a complete clinical recovery.
