Overview

Cross-sectional study assessed pleural effusion rates in children, revealing significant infectious causes and complications.

Key Points

  • The prevalence of pleural effusion among children was found to be 0.82%, with 83.13% of cases attributed to infectious causes.
  • In pneumonia cases, parapneumonic effusion occurred in 19.96%, highlighting its association with respiratory infections.
  • Clinical phenotyping indicated that most cases were in children aged 2–6 years, with a notable male predominance at 63.7%.
  • Findings emphasize the need for enhanced pneumococcal vaccination programs and improved diagnostic infrastructure in the region.
