In Ukraine over the past 20 years, the incidence of pneumonia in children has increased. The aim of the study is to assess the contribution of respiratory viruses and bacteria to pneumonia in children in Ukraine. The etiology of community-acquired pneumonia was studied in 175 children at Medical Center "Eurolab" and Clinical Hospital 2 (Kyiv, Ukraine) over 2018 - 2022. Viral and bacterial pathogens were detected using polymerase chain reaction, chromatographic immunoassay. Conclusions: respiratory viruses, particularly respiratory syncytial virus and metapneumovirus, are the major contributors to community-acquired pneumonia in children in Kyiv.
