Example algorithm of how to systematically assess children aged >2 months and <5 years, initially diagnosed and treated with non-severe pneumonia and who returned for follow-up, in low HIV prevalence settings, based on the experience and recommendations of the panel

This assessment is intended to supplement and not to replace the clinical judgment of the first-level health worker. If Integrated Management of Childhood Illness guidelines have been followed, the child should have been assessed for malnutrition and HIV in settings with high prevalence. This figure is offered only as an example of such an algorithm that can be developed.
