What causes pneumonia in children?

We all know that the environment around us will continue to be polluted, so it is easy to cause respiratory diseases. Usually, we need to pay attention to the occurrence of pneumonia. When this disease occurs, it will also bring many impacts. Usually, we should not ignore the occurrence of this disease. We must adjust it comprehensively. So, what are the causes of pneumonia?

Understand the causes of pneumonia.

(1) Mycoplasma pneumonia: caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae, it is a common cause of this type of pneumonia.

(ii) Fungal pneumonia: Candida albicans, Aspergillus, Actinomycetes, etc. are common causes of pneumonia.

(III) Pneumonia caused by other pathogens: These are also common causes of pneumonia, such as Rickettsia (such as Q fever Rickettsia), Chlamydia (such as Chlamydia psittaci), Toxoplasma (such as Toxoplasma gondii), protozoa (such as Pneumocystis carinii), parasites (such as Echinocystis carinii, Paragonimus, Schistosoma japonicum), etc. People with low immunity (such as AIDS patients) are prone to pulmonary infections such as Pneumocystis carinii, Legionella, Mycobacterium avium, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and Toxoplasma.

So what causes neonatal pneumonia? Please see below:

The neonatal cerebral cortex has poor regulation function on the respiratory center, and the swallowing movement is uncoordinated, so amniotic fluid, meconium, breast milk, etc. are easily inhaled into the lungs. Children with severe digestive tract malformations, such as congenital esophageal atresia, severe cleft lip and palate, are more prone to aspiration.

The trachea of ​​newborns is short and the lumen is relatively dry. The cilia have poor ability to remove bacteria and dust, so bacteria can easily descend into the lungs.

The differentiation of the lung tissue of newborns is not perfect, the number of alveoli is small, and the pulmonary blood vessels are relatively abundant, which makes them prone to congestion and inflammation.

Newborns have low immune function and are easily invaded by pathogens. If the mother suffers from an infectious disease before delivery, the pathogens can pass through the placenta and cause fetal infection. Symptoms often appear within 24 hours after delivery.

Intrapartum infection caused by delayed labor, premature rupture of membranes, multiple vaginal examinations, etc. often causes fetal distress, resulting in inhalation of contaminated amniotic fluid or vaginal secretions and causing neonatal pneumonia.

In normal times, we need to pay attention to the causes of pneumonia, and in daily life, we must also pay attention to conditioning methods. We should pay attention to reasonable health care, and also pay attention to some conditioning methods in life. We must pay attention to understanding the causes, such as respiratory tract infections and mycoplasma infections, which can cause diseases.
