Abstract

The paper represents a systematic review of current etiological diagnostic methods in childhood communityacquired pneumonia based on studies and guidelines of recent years. The authors compare sensitivity and specificity of different diagnostic methods, advantages and limitations of different routine microbiological diagnostic approaches. According to most opinions molecular methods are very valuable, quick and easy to use but should be combined with culturing and other routine tests for better interpretation of results.
