Generaltreatment. A common treatment is fever reduction, isolation, organ function support, and extrapulmonary organ function monitoring, such as the heart, liver, and kidneys. More importantly, children with adenovirus pneumonia should be isolated as early as possible to prevent the occurrence of cross-infection.
Virusesthat can cause pneumonia include: Parainfluenza virus (which causes croup). These viruses don’t respond to antibiotics but a child’s immune system can usually fight them off. The second most common cause of pneumonia is bacterial infection. A particular bacterium – streptococcus pneumoniae – is most often to

Implications Observational studies showed that corticosteroid treatment was associated with increased mortality and nosocomial infections for influenza and delayed virus clearance for SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV. Limited data on corticosteroid therapy for COVID-19 were reported. Corticosteroids were used
WHATS NEW IN THE GUIDES. Although in the last year most management and treatment publications and guidelines have focused on SARSCoV-2, some guidelines on CAP and nosocomial pneumonia have been published. In this paper, Martin-Loeches and Torres [ 9] highlight recent advances in guidelines for
