The median length of hospitalization was 9 days. Oxygen supplementation was required in 77%, of children 75% had chest tube placement 33% were admitted to an intensive care unit. While similarity in use of pain medication, antipyretics and antimicrobial use was observed. wide variation in number of chest radiographs and invasive procedures (thoracentesis, placement of chest tubes) was observed between centers.

36 Conclusions Streptococcus pneumoniae is the leading cause of bacterial meningitis and pneumonia. Spn meningitis causes high rate long term sequelae, principally neurological and hearing loss. Spn meningitis mortality rate is high even penicillin susceptibility or not. The cost of treatment is very high for the Family, Society and Heath System.
