Context:

Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in children can lead to parapneumonic effusions (PPE).
Recent years have seen a potential rise in pediatric PPE cases.
Understanding the incidence and clinical features of PPE is crucial for effective management.

Purpose:

To determine the clinical features and incidence of pediatric parapneumonic effusions over an 11-year period (1993-2003).
To analyze trends in PPE incidence within a specific geographic area and hospital setting.

Summary:

A retrospective review of 130 pediatric patients with PPE (aged <15 years) was conducted.
The incidence of PPE significantly increased from 1993 to 2003, both per 100,000 children and per 100 hospitalized children.
