clinical management

Pediatric pneumonia remains a significant cause of morbidity worldwide, with radiological assessment playing a crucial role in diagnosis and management. The ability to recognize specific patterns of lobar involvement, particularly in the left upper lobe, combined with clinical findings, guides appropriate therapeutic interventions and monitoring strategies.

Bronchiolitis represents one of the most common lower respiratory tract infections in pediatric patients, with characteristic radiological patterns that aid in diagnosis and management. Understanding these patterns, along with clinical correlation, is crucial for healthcare providers managing respiratory infections in children.
