| Popis: | We read with great interest the recent paper about the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in Finland. [1] Clearly, the standard approaches to diagnosis of this disease may be changing. We suggest, however, that lung ultrasound (LUS) may be preferable to chest radiograph (CXR) for this purpose. © 2012 The Author(s)/Acta Paediatrica © 2012 Foundation Acta Paediatrica. |
