The study of pneumococci of different serotypes, isolated from patients with acute pneumonia and pleuritis and from healthy children was carried out. Among the pneumococcal serotypes causing pneumonia and pleuritis in children serotypes 1, 6, 19, 14 and 3 were most widely spread and constituted 62.3% of all isolated pneumococci. In young children cases of acute pneumonia and pleuritis were more often induced by serotypes 6 and 14 and in older children, by serotypes 1 and 3. In patients with uncomplicated pneumonia and pleuritis differences in the detected serotypes of pneumococci were observed, and the disease course differed in severity. Serotypes 14, 3 and 3 induced destructive processes in the lungs more often than other serotypes. Monitoring of the sensitivity of pneumococci to antibiotics showed that most of the strains retained high sensitivity to penicillin and ampicillin. In most cases the detected resistant pneumococcal strains belonged to serogroup 19.
