[Recurrent pneumonia in a pediatric pulmonology outpatient unit: concept and prevalence]

Abstract:

:OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of recurrent episodes of pneumonia in patients referred to the pulmonology outpatient unit at "Serviço de Pneumologia Pediatrica" of the Instituto de Puericultura e Pediatria Martagão Gesteira/UFRJ and to review the recurrent concept in accordance to medical references currently available. METHODS: Data were obtained by reviewing all documented initial appointments from January 1st, 1995 up to April 30th, 1997. RESULTS: One hundred and one visits out of six hundred and thirty eight appointments with suspected diagnosis of recurrent episodes of pneumonia were studied. In less than 40% of this population the initial diagnosis was in accordance with the criteria usually required in our unit to perform such diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS: We concluded that the recurrent nature of pneumonia episodes should be further clarified and discussed with pediatricians because it is up to them to refer such patients to specialists. Furthermore we emphasize the importance of normal chest roentgenograms taken between acute episodes so that "recurrent pneumonia" can be adequately characterized. This may help identify those patients who need subsequent evaluation by specialists regarding complementary diagnosis.
