Abstract: Objective To discuss the clinical value of lung ultrasound(LUS)in the diagnosis of neonatal infectious pneumonia(IPN). Methods The chest X-ray(CXR)and LUS results of 80 infants with IPN clinical signs and symptoms from May 2016 to Oct. 2017 were retrospectively analyzed, and the positive diagnosis rates were also comparied. The IPN infants diagnosed by LUS were followed up to observe therapeutic effects. Results The positive diagnosis rate of LUS and CXR were respective 95%(76/80)and 81%(65/80), in which 4 infants were CXR positive while LUS negative, 15 infants were CXR negative while LUS positive. Seventy-six infants were followed up with LUS, in which 40 showed a complete regression, 15 had absorptions of consolidation while with scattered or confluent B-lines, 13 had significantly reduced consolidation, 8 had no obvious changes in size of consolidation, and 4 exhibited a “lung pulse”. Conclusion LUS is of great value in diagnosis and monitor the progresses of IPN, and can be used as the preferred diagnostic method in imaging.
