    Snippet: The assessment of pediatric CAP severity defined by the extent of consolidation on chest X-rays and the presence of pleural effusion. [7] Because of this definition, there is no scoring system available for the severity of children CAP. Although X-rays are important for the diagnosis, it should not be used as routine method.

    Document: The assessment of pediatric CAP severity defined by the extent of consolidation on chest X-rays and the presence of pleural effusion. [7] Because of this definition, there is no scoring system available for the severity of children CAP. Although X-rays are important for the diagnosis, it should not be used as routine method. Lee et al [26] found that PCT has a higher sensitivity and specificity than CRP in the differential diagnosis of lobar and bronchial pneumonia. Agnello et al [27] reported recently that CRP is better than PCT, neutrophil count, and WBC for the assessment of CAP severity. Our study did not find the advantages of traditional inflammation markers for the differential diagnosis of CAP severity, which may be attributed to the reduction of bacterial infections in CAP and the complexity of pathogens.
