Clinical and rengenological characteristics of pneumonia in children with acute herpetic stomatitis

This work presents information on the clinical and radiological characteristics of 27 children with acute pneumonia on the background of acute herpetic stomatitis (main group). The control group included 30 children with focal-confluent pneumonia, which also required intensive treatment. Acute pneumonia against the background of acute herpetic stomatitis is characterized by a severe course. In these patients, pathological changes occur in the gastrointestinal tract and they aggravate the course of pneumonia. It occurs mainly in children 1 year of life and is characterized by a persistent severe course. This provides a basis for further study of acute pneumonia against the background of acute herpetic stomatitis and the development of new methods of therapy, as well as a logical approach to the algorithm for managing these patients.
