Retrospective analysis reveals high prevalence of pneumonia-related pleural effusion in pediatric patients, suggesting need for improved vaccination.

The prevalence of pleural effusion was found to be 0.82% among patients, predominantly due to pneumonia and other infectious causes.
Clinical phenotyping identified a male predominance of 63.7%, with children aged 2-6 years most affected, representing 44.4%.
Chest imaging was performed as clinically indicated in a retrospective analysis from January 2016 to December 2023.
The implications of this study highlight the necessity for enhanced vaccination programs to mitigate morbidity in the Delta region.

Zedan et al. (2025) studied this question.
