Role of Brain Natriuretic Peptide assay in identifying children with pneumonia complicated by congestive cardiac failure
Background: Pneumonia in children is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in developing countries. It is often complicated by Congestive Cardiac Failure (CCF), with some of the symptoms similar to those of pneumonia. Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) assay can differentiate cardiac from respirat...
