Community acquired pneumonia remains a major cause for hospitalization of infants despite the availability of pneumococcal conjugated vaccines. We are still facing invasive and difficult to treat cases of pneumonias that could be life threatening especially in immunocompromised patients. Imaging studies mainly high resolution CT scan should be requested whenever dealing with poorly resolving pneumonia for better specification of possible complications and to implement the appropriate treatment as soon as possible. |
