Abstract

 «IMPORTANCE OF THE PNEUMOCOCCUS IN COMMUNITY-ACQUIRED PNEUMONIA IN TENDER-AGE INFANTS ON THE BACKGROUND OF VACCINATION»

The authors of the manuscript provide data demonstrating that una pneumonia against the background of vaccination is accompanied by a change in the etiological structure. The article is a new idea and overall it is well written and structured.

However, simple study design, lack of patient baseline and follow-up data limit the conclusion of withdrawal.

I invite the authors to solve the following questions:

1) There are many spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors. Authors should correct mistakes and rewrite the article in a clear and understandable style. I have visited the authors with the help of a language expert on rewriting.

2) The main problem of the manuscript is poor statistical processing and statistical reporting. The authors stated: “All data were expressed as confidence intervals. Thus, it is unclear whether the etiological structure was normally distributed. Moreover, following normal scientific practice, authors should indicate specific statistical significance values ​​when comparing each test parameter.

3) The cited literature is relevant to the research and meets the requirements of the journal. But mentions of 9/19 were published over 10 years ago. I recommend reading current research on this topic.

In conclusion, the work makes a good impression. On the other hand, it can be published after significant changes with reference to the comments mentioned above, including bug fixes and rewriting of the article in a clear and easily understandable style.
