Abstract
In young children, the increase in the infectious morbidity of the bronchopulmonary system directly depends on the influence of risk factors that determine the likelihood of developing pneumonia in young children. Timely identification and elimination of risk factors leads to a decrease in the incidence of respiratory diseases and their complications. 52 sick children with pneumonia were examined. The results show that in sick children the most significant differences were observed in such factors as: burdened obstetric history, extragenital diseases of pregnant women, TORCH infections, gestational age at birth less than 28 weeks, artificial feeding.
