Article Review: Pneumonia and Children

This article is related to my research theme "Child mortality rate". This is one of the main causes of death of children in low-income countries. Every year, about 4 million children die before the age of five, which is almost a fifth of the child's mortality rate. In addition, this article also refers to the fourth "Millennium Development Goals". However, the progress made in sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, Oceania is not enough to achieve the goal and worries if fashion trends continue.

Pneumonia: WHO claims that more children die from pneumonia than any other infection. About 2 million children under the age of 5 each year die from pneumonia. Most of these deaths occur in Africa and Southeast Asia. In many parts of the world, access to medical facilities is restricted, leaving victims unable to receive life-saving medical care. Tuberculosis: In 2003, TB has delivered more than 1,700,000 deaths. Health officials are very concerned about the emergence of drug-resistant tuberculosis. Several strains develop resistance to all major anti-tuberculosis drugs. Drug-resistant strains develop in patients receiving poor supervision or incomplete treatment

Pneumonia: Acute respiratory infection (ARI), most commonly pneumonia, is the leading cause of death for children under 5 years of age, and more than 2 million children die each year. Up to 40% of the children seen in public health centers suffer from respiratory illness and many of the deaths caused by other causes are actually 'hidden' ARI death. Treatment is an urgent task as children may die from infection immediately. Most pneumonia patients can be treated with oral antibiotics. With proper management, we can save more than 1 million lives each year throughout the world

Pneumonia caused by S. pneumoniae is a major cause of childhood illness and death. It can also cause child meningitis and otitis media. More than 2 million children die each year from pneumonia, accounting for about one-fifth of five-fifths of the world's deaths. India accounts for 19% of worldwide pneumococcal deaths. As with children, adults with chronic diseases such as diabetes, asthma, and renal failure should also be vaccinated. Hepatitis A is an acute infection caused by hepatitis A virus (HAV). According to WHO, about 50 people are affected each year. Although the mortality rate is very low, the incidence and disease propagation rate are high, especially because contaminated water causes disease. Recommended for children and adults
