Respiratory morbidity is the most frequent cause for children consulting a doctor, accounting for about one-quarter of primary care consultations. The current research aimed to analyze the clinical and paraclinical features of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) with comorbid chronic tonsillitis in children and to assess the prognostic value of the proposed diagnostic procedures to optimize the management of patients. The study was conducted at the Pulmonology and Allergology and Infectious Department of the Municipal Medical Establishment "Chernivtsi Regional Children's Clinical Hospital", Ukraine. Clinical group I included 20 children (mean age 9,40 +- 1,56 years) with uncomplicated community-acquired pneumonia and concomitant chronic tonsillitis, and the clinical group II consisted of 16 patients (mean age 9,60 +- 1,13 years) with CAP without concomitant pathology of the upper respiratory tract. Conclusions: the results obtained from the study show that children with CAP and comorbid chronic tonsillitis have more pronounced clinical symptoms, accompanied by paraclinical signs of inflammation that last longer during hospital treatment and require comprehensive therapy (OR 3,3) of longer duration (OR 4,0 - 10,0).
