Interventions
Lung ultrasound will be performed on all children to investigate imaging patterns characteristic of pneumonia.
Eligibility Criteria
Cases will be children 2 through 23 months of age who present to a study hospital with history of cough or difficulty breathing and chest indrawing. Controls will be children 2 through 23 months of age who present with cough or difficulty breathing, but without chest indrawing, fast breathing or fever.
You may qualify if:
- Male or female, 2 through 23 months of age
- Cough \<14 days or difficulty breathing
- Visible indrawing of the chest wall, with or without fast breathing
- Ability and willingness of child's caregiver to provide informed consent and to be available for follow-up for the planned duration of the study, including accepting a home visit if he/she fails to return to the study facility for a scheduled follow-up visit
- Male or female, 2 through 23 months of age
- Cough \<14 days or difficulty breathing
