Résumé

Les étiologies des pneumopathies communautaires de l'enfant varient avec l'âgec. Les infections virales prédominent chez le nourrisson et le virus respiratoire syncytial en est toujours le principal agent responsable. Les étiologies bactériennes deviennent prédominantes entre 3 et 6 ans. L'émergence de Streptococcus pneumaoniae de sensibilité réduite à la pénicilline, la mise en cause de Haemophilus influenzae non typables et sécréteur de β-lactamase, et la place importante des germes atypiques Mycoplasma pneumoniae et Chlamydia pneumoniae sont à l'arigine de nouvelles réflexions thérapeutiques. La mortalité liée aux pneumopathies reste faible dans les pays industrialisés. Cependant, la morbidité semble augmenter et il est nécessaire de s'assurer de la guérison clinique et randiologique.
