EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PENTOXIFYLLINE IN THE TREATMENT OF COMMUNITY-ACQUIRED PNEUMONIA ACCOMPANIED BY MYOCARDITIS IN CHILDREN

Аннотация

According to statistics, respiratory diseases rank first among pathologies in young children and are one of the main causes of mortality in this category. The literature shows that the incidence of pneumonia, its clinical severity and prognosis largely depend on the interaction of various modifiable and non-modifiable factors affecting the child's health. Also important are the socio-economic conditions of the family, factors contributing to infection, and the level of availability of medical services. In modern literature, there are no clear criteria for assessing the severity and prognosis of various types of pneumonia in children suffering from myocarditis. This indicates the need for further research aimed at analyzing the influence of both modifiable and non-modifiable factors on the development and severity of community-acquired pneumonia in the context of myocarditis. It is also important to study their role in the formation of complicated forms of the disease in children of this age group. Taking into account all of the above, in our work we investigated the importance of pentoxifylline in the treatment of childhood pneumonia accompanied by myocarditis, and developed differentiated approaches to the treatment of complicated forms of community-acquired pneumonia in children with myocarditis.
