Аннотация

Pneumonia in children is one of the urgent problems in pediatrics, which is determined by the continuing high incidence and severe prognosis, especially in young children. The aim of the study was to determine the clinical characteristics of acute myocarditis in children with community-acquired pneumonia. We examined 46 children aged 6 months to 7 years with pneumonia, which we divided into 2 groups. Group I (control) included 23 children who had only respiratory complaints. Group II (main) included 23 sick children with pneumonia, who had a violation of the cardiovascular system, the presence of which was confirmed by instrumental methods.
