Central nervous system infection is an important cause of death in underfives hospitalised with World Health Organization (WHO) defined severe and very severe pneumonia
چکیده انگلیسی

Over 6 years, 1667 children aged 2–59 months admitted for pneumonia [1287 severe and 380 very severe] were studied. The case fatality rate (CFR) in children with severe pneumonia was 2.1% and 14.3% with CNS infection, with very severe pneumonia the CFR was 18.9%, 10.4% in those with hypoxemia and 43.6% with CNS infection. High CFRs were associated with CNS infection and inability to drink/cyanosis. The appropriate management of children with very severe pneumonia should include cerebrospinal fluid examination, oxygen monitoring and possibly ventilated support, suggesting that these are minimal standards of care at the district hospital.
