One hundred and fifty children aged between 5 months and 5 years with cough of less than 2 weeks duration, and presenting at the paediatric filter clinic and paediatric observation ward of the Kenyatta National Hospital between July and December 1985 were each evaluated by a complete history, physical examination, and a chest X-ray. Ninety of them (or 60%) had radiological evidence of pneumonia. Respiratory rate of over 50 per minute, chest indrawing, flaring of alae nasae, and a history of rapid breathing were found to be valuable indicators of pneumonia.
1985年7月至12月期间，在肯雅塔国家医院儿科筛查门诊和儿科观察病房就诊的150名年龄在5个月至5岁之间、咳嗽持续时间少于2周的儿童，均接受了完整病史、体格检查及胸部X光检查。其中90名儿童（即60%）有肺炎的影像学证据。每分钟呼吸频率超过50次、胸壁凹陷、鼻翼扇动以及呼吸急促史被发现是肺炎的重要指标。
