CLINICAL AND LABORATORY CHARACTERISTICS OF ATYPICAL PNEUMONIA IN CHILDREN
Abstract
Atypical pneumonia in children is a significant cause of respiratory morbidity worldwide and is commonly associated with pathogens such as Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia pneumoniae, and various respiratory viruses. Unlike typical bacterial pneumonia, atypical pneumonia often presents with nonspecific clinical manifestations and subtle radiological findings, making early diagnosis challenging. Laboratory investigations, including hematological parameters, inflammatory biomarkers, serological tests, and molecular diagnostics, play a crucial role in accurate identification and management. This review summarizes current knowledge on the clinical presentation and laboratory characteristics of pediatric atypical pneumonia and highlights diagnostic challenges and implications for treatment.
