Ethnographic study explores antibiotic guidance in paediatric pneumonia, highlighting local constraints and innovations.
This study addresses a current research gap in Medicine concerning Impact of a laboratory-developed algorithm using C-reactive protein and procalcitonin to guide antibiotic therapy in children under five with pneumonia in rural health centers of Kisumu County in Senegal. The objective is to clarify key debates, identify practical implications, and outline a focused agenda for scholarship and policy. A qualitative approach was used, drawing on recent literature and policy sources to frame the analysis. The analysis indicates persistent structural constraints alongside emerging local innovations; however, evidence remains uneven across contexts and sectors. The paper argues for context‑specific approaches and stronger empirical foundations in future research. Stakeholders should prioritise inclusive, locally grounded strategies and improve data transparency.
