Lung ultrasound for the diagnosis and monitoring of community-acquired pneumonia in children: a prospective observational study
This study confirms the usefulness of lung ultrasound in monitoring children with community-acquired pneumonia and in the early identification of those at risk of clinical deterioration. Moreover, our findings offer useful guidance for optimizing follow-up timing, supporting personalized ultrasound approaches tailored to disease severity while reducing unnecessary examinations.
