In this paper, the importance of superinfection in the development of acute purulent destructive pneumonia (APDP) in children is shown. The study is based on the analysis of a number of clinical, microbiological and immunological indices in 240 patients with severe forms of APDP. A negative effect of superinfection on the course of the disease was found. The presented data may be criteria for the probability of super-contamination, as well as the rationale for timely correction of therapy. These criteria can be used to predict the disease.
