  • Descrição: BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Community-acquired pneumonia(CAP) imposes a big problem to childhood health, mainly in developing countries. Nonetheless, information on CAP incidence is scarce and our aim was to provide such information. METHODS: This is a prospective, population-based cohort study conducted in 4 communities in the urban zone of Salvador, Northeast Brazil. Every child aged less than 4 years living in the study area and without known immunodeficiency; cystic fibrosis; heart disease; neuromuscular disorder; chronic respiratory illness, except asthma, or HIV-infected mother was invited to participate in the study. After receiving informed consent signed by parents or legal guardians, information on child’s health and life style was obtained by a standardized form. Each child was followed by home visit or telephone call, every week. Whenever a child presented with cough and respiratory distress, a thorough investigation was performed in a sentinel paediatric hospital and registered into another standardized form. Chest x-ray was read by a blind pediatric radiologist. RESULTS: 1095 children were followed up in the first 6 months of the study. The median age at recruitment was 20months (mean: 21mo, minimum: 3days, maximum: 3years) and 537(49%) were males. The incidence of CAP was 62/1000child-year (95%CI: 48-79/1000child-year) (clinical diagnosis), 27/1000child-year (95%CI: 18-40/1000childyear) (presence of tachypnea according to the WHO guidelines) and 24/1000child-year (95%CI: 16-36/1000childyear) (presence of pulmonary infiltrate on chest x-ray). Alveolar infiltrate was described in 77% of the radiologically diagnosed cases.CONCLUSIONS: The maximal burden of CAP among children was 7.9% yearly. In order to add on health policy, investigation of etiology is a priority
