Radiographic follow‐up of pneumonia in children	2005-07-11		.txt	text/plain	3317	203	51	This study assessed the clinical value of routine follow‐up chest radiographs in hospitalized children with community‐acquired pneumonia. This prospective study was undertaken to investigate the resolution of chest radiographic changes in children with viral and bacterial pneumonia, and to assess the clinical value of information obtained from follow-up radiographs taken 3-7 weeks after a diagnosis of pneumonia. For a long-term perspective, 8-10 years later, the medical records of patients were reviewed, and a questionnaire was sent to the parents to elicit the illness history after the time of follow-up chest radiograph. As part of a 3-year prospective study of the etiology and clinical profile of childhood community-acquired pneumonia, 3, 6, 9, 10 we studied follow-up chest radiographs. No single etiologic agent predicted the persistence of radiographic changes (data not shown), and the numbers of viral and bacterial infections showed no significant differences between the original patient population and those with residual findings on follow-up radiograph ( Table 3 ).	./cache/cord-288305-qt2a4pxs.txt	./txt/cord-288305-qt2a4pxs.txt
