VIVA – Pneumonia is a very dangerous disease for children because it can cause death. Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lung tissue and its environment.
"The inflammation means that the network is damaged," said Dr. Darmawan Budi Setyanto, SpA (K) at a seminar on media organized at the Indonesian Pediatricians Association's office in Jakarta. , Thursday, November 29, 2018.
This lesion causes the tissue to fill with inflammatory fluid. As a result, gas exchange in the lungs can not occur. This condition is a danger for patients with pneumonia.
If the lung tissue is damaged, the entry of oxygen will be reduced. This is the cause of death in patients with pneumonia.
Although it is dangerous and the leading cause of death among children, pneumonia has still not received public attention. Even though in a day, children who died of pneumonia were the same number as pbadengers on large aircraft.
Infants are the age group most vulnerable to pneumonia because their immune system is not good.
"Pneumonia is the neglected killer, even though the number of deaths from pneumonia remains higher than malaria and measles," said Darmawan.
