  6. Active Hospital-based Surveillance Study of IPD and Pneumonia Among Urban Children (2007-2009) Bravo, Santos, Capeding et al Submitted for Publication

  7. Younger Children Bore the Greatest Burden of Pneumonia No. of cases 2008

  8. Risk factors for Pneumonia: Rudan et al. WHO Bulletin 2008 May 2008, vol 86 no 5; Pneumonia: The Forgotten Killer of Children Unicef/WHO 2006

  9. Outcome of Childhood Pneumonia EVRMC 2008-2011 Lupisan et al Asia-Africa Congress on Emerging and Re-emerging Infections Kobe, Japan January 2012

  10. Etiology of Pneumonia in <5 Years Old 1984-1986, RITM, N=537 Pre Hib/PCV Era RSV 37% Parainfluenza 17% Adenov 13% S. pneumo 15% Mixed Viral/bacterial 23% H influenzae 21% Others 17% S typhi 14% Lucero, et al. Reviews InfDis 1990

  11. Etiology of Pneumonia in <5 Years Old 1990-1992, RITM, N=332 Pre Hib/PCV Era Bacterial Pathogens S. aureus K. pneumoniae S. viridans A. anitratum Viral Pathogens Parainfluenza Influenza A and B Capeding et al. Etiology of ALRI in Filipino Children under 5 years Southeast Asian J Trop Med Public Health, Dec. 1994

  12. Etiology of Pneumonia in <5 Years Old 2008-2011, EVRMC N=1582 Hib/PCV Era S. pneumoniae H. influenzae Others S. aureus MRSA S. typhi RSV 14% Rhino-A 7% Rhino-C 6% hMPV* 3.3% Others Influenza A (H1N1) Influenza A/B Adenovirus Parainfluenza Lupisan et al Asia-Africa Congress on Emerging and Re-emerging Infections Kobe, Japan January 2012

  13. Determining Bacterial Etiology in Childhood Pneumonia is Challenging • Use of conventional bacterial culture considered as gold standard but with low sensitivity • Bacteria (S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae) are fastidious organisms • High percentage of antibiotic usage prior to hospitalization

  14. Mortality Rate by Case Definitions EVRMC Total number of cases = 108

  15. Risk Classification for Pneumonia-Related Mortality

  16. Risk Classification for Pneumonia-Related Mortality

  17. Empiric Antibiotic Treatment • PCAP A or B without previous antibiotic • Oral amoxicillin, drug of choice • PCAP C without previous antibiotic and complete Hib vaccination. • Penicillin G, drug of choice • PCAP C with incomplete Hib vaccination • Ampicillin IV • PCAP D • Refer to Specialist CPG, In the Evaluation and Management of Pediatric Community Acquired Pneumonia

  18. Percent Resistance of S. pneumoniaeJan-Dec 2010 % RESISTANCE CHL=ChloramphenicolPEN=Penicillin SXT=Cotrimoxazole *%R(N) ARSP Report 2010

  19. Clinical Management of Viral Etiology • In laboratory confirmed influenza A or B virus infection. • Influenza A: amantadine for 3-5 days, an option to discontinue within 24-48 hours after resolution of symptoms • Influenza A or B: oseltamivir for 5 days • Both drugs should be administered within 48 hours of onset of symptoms, ineffective against respiratory viruses other than influenza, not recommended for children below 1 year old CPG, In the Evaluation and Management of Pediatric Community Acquired Pneumonia

  20. Burden of Pneumonia Over the Past Decades • Pneumonia is the most common presentation of IPD in children. • Most commonly affects the very young • S. pneumoniae, H. influenzaeand RSV consistently are the most frequently detected pathogens • Pneumonia is the top killer of Filipino children <5 years old, accounts for 34% of deaths the 90’s
