    This journal article summarizes a study on the etiology and factors associated with pneumonia in children under 5 years old in Mali. The study was conducted at a pediatric hospital and involved collecting samples and data from 118 pneumonia patients and analyzing causes and risk factors. It found that the most common causes were viruses like human metapneumovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, and influenza. Additional factors included prior antibiotic use, underlying conditions, and lack of vaccinations. The study provided valuable information on the causes and management of pediatric pneumonia in the region to help with diagnosis and treatment.

    SUMMARY OF THE JOURNAL


    This research journal studies were all about the Etiology and Factors Associated with
    Pneumonia in Children under 5 Years. The aim of this was to to assess the etiology and factors
    associated with community-acquired pneumonia in hospitalized children and it was conducted at
    Pediatric department of Gabriel Tour University Hospital at Bamako,Mali.
    Pneumonia is the leading cause of child mortality from infectious diseases worldwide.
    The main known causative pathogens reported are Streptococcus pneumoniae,Haemophilus
    influenzae type B, and respiratory syncytial virus. The study was conducted at Pediatric
    department of Gabriel Tour University Hospital at Bamako,Mali. Pneumonia cases were
    hospitalized children who fulfilled the following criteria: cough, dyspnea, tachypnea and absence
    of wheezing at auscultation. Nasal swabs, antibiotic usage history, urine sampled, whole blood
    and pleural effusions was collected and analyze in terms of Demographic characteristics,
    underlying diseases, medical history, clinical examination at enrollment, radiological findings,
    vaccinations, and outcome were recorded prospectively for each patient on a standardized
    form.
    They found out that among the 118 patients with pneumonia, (13.6%) were referred from
    another health center due to cases presented a ventricular septal defect. Among cases with
    pulmonary crackles. Other signs or medical history of pneumonia cases included sickle-cell
    anemia, dehydration, epilepsy, goiter, edema, pallor), and trisomy. The patient who took
    antibiotics before hospitalization, received amoxicillin, ceftriaxone, amoxicillin, clavulanic acid,
    cotrimoxazole. The 4 microbial agents associated with pneumonia, 3 were viruses: human
    metapneumovirus, RSV, and influenza. Vaccine development, particularly against RSV, is
    warranted to prevent pneumonia in children. The importance of the study were its prospective
    design with the inclusion of controls that permitted to assess pneumonia etiologies while taking
    into account the prevalence of pathogen detection in non-infected patients.
    RELEVANCE TO AREA OF ROTATION:
    Pediatric community-acquired pneumonia was very common disease in the area. The
    relevance of this study is to provide an updated review on the etiology and factors of pneumonia
    that may help in assessing or diagnosing patient with pneumonia and as a guide using the
    factors associated, in rendering nursing management .

    RELEVANCE TO NURSING EDUCATION:


    This journal study is relevance to nursing practice because as a nurse we should know
    the etiology and associated factors of pneumonia so that we know how to interpret and treat the
    underlying cause of problem and prevent the infection.
    LEARNING INSIGHTS ON THE JOURNAL:
    I learned in this journal the management and how to treat pneumonia though the use of
    vaccination and prevent the spreading of microorganism. Increased pneumococcal conjugate
    vaccine coverage in children would significantly reduce the burden of pneumonia in this country.
