LUS has become an important tool in the diagnosis and follow-up of lung diseases. LUS is easy to apply at the bedside and is a practical and low-cost method for diagnosing pneumonia.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Study Design\u2003This study was conducted in neonatal intensive care unit of Dr. Sami Ulus Obstetrics, Children's Health and Diseases Training and Research Hospital. From September 2019 to April 2020, 50 patients who were diagnosed with viral pneumonia were included in the study. Also, 24 patients with sepsis-related respiratory failure were included in the study as a control group. LUS was performed at the bedside three times, by a single expert, once each before treatment for diagnosis, on discharge, and after discharge in outpatient clinic control.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Results\u2003Before treatment, LUS findings were lung consolidation with air bronchograms (50\/50), pleural line abnormalities (35\/50), B-pattern (25\/50), disappearance of lung sliding (21\/50), lung pulse (5\/50), and pleural effusion (9\/50). During discharge, we found significant changes: lung consolidation with air bronchograms (6\/50), pleural line abnormalities (7\/50), B-pattern (12\/50), and pleural effusion (1\/50) (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Outpatient clinic control LUS findings were lung consolidation with air bronchograms (0\/50), pleural line abnormalities (0\/50), B-pattern (0\/50), disappearance of lung sliding (0\/50), and pleural effusion (0\/50) (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Also, B-pattern image, disappearance of lung sliding, and pleural line abnormalities were higher in control group (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Conclusion\u2003Ultrasound gives no hazard, and the application of bedside ultrasonography is comfortable for the patients. Pneumonia is a serious infection in the neonatal period. Repeated chest radiography may be required depending on the clinical condition of the patient with pneumonia. This study focuses on adequacy of LUS in neonatal pneumonia.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Key Points\n
