Pulmonary infection in children

Severe infection in children is the focus of pediatric intensive care medicine, in which the lung is one of the most common sites of attack. Effective and rapid etiological examination results, epidemiological characteristics of etiology, and the mastery of mechanism of action are very important for the prognosis of children with severe infection. At the same time, early risk assessment and accurate treatment are crucial to improve the survival of severely ill children. At present, the study of pulmonary pathogenic infection has been gradually deepened, but the mechanism and the relationship between it and the immune host are still unclear.

This Research Topic aims to collect new findings on efficient and rapid biomolecular technology. We also aim to analyze the relationship between pulmonary pathogen infection and immune host and epidemiological characteristics of pulmonary pathogenic infection in multi-center pediatric intensive care department.
