To the Editorial Board of Pediatric Pulmonology,
Dear Doctors,
I submit you the manuscript titled “Virus and Mycoplasma pneumoniae are the main etiological agents of community-acquired pneumonia in hospitalized pediatric patients in Spain” as an Original Study for consideration for publication in the Journal.
The paper is a study about etiology of community-acquired pneumonia in children and adolescents in three regions of Spain with a very extensive microbiological workup. We also analyzed different clinical, radiographical and analytical parameters associated with the three etiological groups: viruses, atypical bacteria and typical bacteria. We try with this work improve the use of antibiotics in pediatric community-acquired pneumonia.
All authors have seen and approved the manuscript, contributed significantly to the work. The manuscript has not been previously published nor is not being considered for publication elsewhere.
We would bear the cost of reproducing the color figures and tables.
Sincerely,
Enrique Otheo
