A total of 125 such children were divided into two age groups of 2\u201312 months (Group A) and 13\u201360 months (Group B). After taking a history and clinical examination, routine investigations including full blood count, blood, urine, and nasopharyngeal swab culture and radiology were performed. Multiplex polymerase chain reaction for Streptococcus pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae was carried out. Failure to eat or drink was more common (40.9%) in Group A, than Group B (18.7%). Lung consolidation was more common in Group B. Blood and urine culture were found to be more positive in Group A while combined nasopharyngeal culture and multiplex polymerase chain reaction favoured more bacterial growth in Group B.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0049475520971595","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,25]],"date-time":"2020-11-25T07:31:27Z","timestamp":1606289487000},"page":"71-77","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Clinical and microbial spectrum of community-acquired pneumonia in children of north India"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"51","author":[{"given":"Rajesh Kumar","family":"Yadav","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Professor and Head, Department of Pediatrics, Uttar Pradesh University of Medical Sciences, Etawah, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8612-5979","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dinesh","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Associate Professor, Department of Pediatrics, Uttar Pradesh University of Medical Sciences, Etawah, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amit","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Professor, Department of Microbiology, Uttar Pradesh University of Medical Sciences, Etawah, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohd.","family":"Ziauddin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Assistant Professor, Department of Pediatrics, Hind Institute of Medical Science, Sitapur, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dinesh Kumar","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Professor, Department of Pediatrics, FH Medical College and Hospital, Firozabad, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0049475520971595","volume-title":"Crofton and Douglas's respiratory diseases","author":"Seaton A","year":"2008","edition":"5"},{"key":"bibr2-0049475520971595","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(03)13779-8"},{"key":"bibr3-0049475520971595","unstructured":"United Nations Inter Agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation.\n                      UNICEF, United Nations population division: levels and trends in child mortality reports 2014\n                      , https:\/\/www.unicef.org\/media\/files\/Levels_and_Trends_in_Child_ Mortality_2014.pdf (accessed 25 December 2017)."},{"key":"bibr4-0049475520971595","unstructured":"World Health Organisation, Global Health Observatory.\n                      Proportions of child deaths by cause\n                      .
