Pneumonia course



This session covers paediatric pneumonia, including the recognition of clinical features, aetiology and treatment.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Define pneumonia
- Recognise the clinical features of paediatric pneumonia
- Describe the aetiology of pneumonia
- State the features of severe pneumonia
- Describe the treatment of pneumonia
Pneumonia is the inflammation of the lung parenchyma, which can include the acute inflammatory consolidation of alveoli, or infiltration of the interstitial tissue with inflammatory cells, or a combination of both.
Before commencing this session you should complete:
- History (172-28)
- Inspection and Examination (172-29)
