The purpose of the study is to retrospectively analyze the diagnosis of pneumonia outside the hospital in children. Materials and styles. 2019-2022 in the pediatric pulmonology department of the TTA multidisciplinary clinic with the diagnosis of pneumonia outside the hospital. retrospective analysis of medical history of treated children aged 3-18 years. Results. It became known that today, for clinical practice, there are the following difficulties in differentiating bacterial pneumonia outside the hospital from the viral type, which require their own solution: that is, the use of antibiotics before bacterial inoculation; the difficulty of obtaining a reliable sample of sputum from the respiratory tract in young children; application of the molecular diagnosis method in a narrow scope. The development of diagnostic tests with a high level of specificity and sensitivity in determining the etiology of pneumonia in sick children is considered highly effective for the activities of medical care institutions.
