After reviewing the incidence and aetiology of the lower respiratory infections found among children, the problem of diagnosis is tackled in relation to phenomenology and laboratory contributions before a detailed examination of diagnostic radiology. It is emphasised that diagnosis, which has a direct influence on choice of treatment, is essentially based on epidemiological and clinical data for which radiological findings merely constitute a back-up, however valuable, except in special cases.
在回顾了儿童下呼吸道感染的发病率和病因后，在详细检查诊断性放射学之前，从现象学和实验室检查结果方面着手解决诊断问题。需要强调的是，诊断直接影响治疗方案的选择，其主要基于流行病学和临床数据，放射学检查结果仅起辅助作用，无论其价值多大，特殊情况除外。
