Abstract: Our primary objective in this review was to discuss and highlight the most common causative agents and risk factors associated with childhood pneumonia, also we intended to review the management strategies which is mostly pharmacological procedures age based guidelines. We conducted a literature review to identify studies with pneumonia etiology and treatment strategies among children aged less than 5 years old which were published up to September, 2017. Searched performed using electronic databases such Medline, and Embase. Pneumonia continues to be the leading reason for both morbidity and death for little ones past the neonatal duration as well as requires ongoing methods and also progression to lower the worry further. Studies of kids in creating countries recommend that concerning fifty percent of all pneumonias are brought on by either H. flus or S. pneumoniae. Nevertheless, it is not always feasible to define the causative pathogen, and even with advanced lab methods 25%-- 33% of instances of pneumonia worldwide are not credited to any type of pathogen. The professional evaluation of pneumonia should be more details. In addition, better as well as less costly modern technology is needed to identify bacteria as well as other agents that cause pneumonia. This will certainly help in reducing the stress on the growth of resistance to antimicrobials by rationalising making use of antibiotics. There has actually been significant progress in inoculation approaches for the avoidance of childhood infections and also pneumonia. The significance of measles and also pertussis vaccination in decreasing kid mortality is well established.
