Round pneumonia is a disease that occurs mainly in young children who have a clinical presentation of lower respiratory tract infection together with a chest radiograph showing round opacity. The mean age of patients with round pneumonia is five 5 years; it is uncommonly seen after the age of 8, as the collateral airways tend to be well developed by this age. In our case, we evaluated a 10-year-old girl who presented with fever, cough, and rounded densities on her chest x-ray. The rapid urinary antigen test for Streptococcus pneumoniae was positive, and serum anti-Mycoplasma pneumoniae antibodies were non-reactive. The diagnosis of round pneumonia was confirmed when the patient showed a complete recovery both clinically and radiographically after a course of penicillin and gentamicin.
圆形肺炎是一种主要发生于幼儿的疾病，临床表现为下呼吸道感染，胸部X线片显示圆形致密影。圆形肺炎患者的平均年龄为5岁；8岁以后少见，因为到这个年龄侧支气道往往已发育良好。在我们的病例中，我们评估了一名10岁女孩，她有发热、咳嗽症状，胸部X线显示圆形致密影。肺炎链球菌快速尿抗原检测呈阳性，血清抗肺炎支原体抗体无反应。当患者在接受一个疗程的青霉素和庆大霉素治疗后临床和影像学均完全恢复时，圆形肺炎的诊断得以证实。
