AB  - Educational aims To understand the pathogenesis of complicated community-acquired pneumonia in children To gain an understanding into the management of common complications of community-acquired pneumonia in children Summary Community-acquired pneumonia is a common paediatric infection and, even with the introduction of pneumococcal and Haemophilus vaccinations, most children will experience at least one episode before adult life. Most cases are self-limiting but a small number of children will develop sequelae and require hospitalisation. This review focuses on the presentation and management of complications of community-acquired pneumonia in children.
