Xác định tỷ lệ viêm phổi nặng và các yếu tố tiên lượng của viêm phổi do adenovirus ở trẻ em

Abstract

Objective: To identify the rate of severe pneumonia due to adenovirus and it’s prognosis factors in children. Subject and method: A cross-sectional study collected 100 children from 2 months to 5 years. All participants were confirmed adenovirus pneumonia by realtime PCR in the National Children’s Hospital from June of 2018 to May of 2019. Result: The prevalence of severe pneumonia caused by adenovirus was 64%. The probability of developing severe pneumonia in the group with lobar pneumonia in chest X-ray were 7.74 times higher than that of the group without lobar damage (OR = 7.74, 95%CI: 3.45 - 26.39, p<0.05). The risk of having severe pneumonia in children infected from family was lower than those infected in the hospital (OR = 0.2, 95%CI: 0.05 - 0.79, p<0.05). Conclusion: Most of the children with pneumonia due to adenovirus were severe. Lobar pneumonia in X-ray and infection from family members were associated with the severity of adenovirus pneumonia in children.
