Abstract
in ALF samples collected from hospitalized SCAP children experienced bronchoscopy intervention. Eighty percent of the cases had pulmonary consolidation and/or atelectasis. The presence of possible coinfection of these two pathogens might contribute to poor clinical anti-infection response. The results of this study might be helpful for the selection of clinical strategies for the empirical treatment of such pediatric SCAP cases.
