      "diseaseInfo": "The main bacterial causes of pneumonia among children are Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib). Incubation period is usually less than 7 days, depending on the aetiology.",
      "transmissionRoutes": "Infection of the lower airways caused by bacteria or viruses transmitted person-to-person via aerosolized respiratory droplet spread.",
      "priorityReason": "Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) and pneumonia represent the number one cause of mortality among children less than 5 years of age.",
      "riskFactors": "",
      "additionalInfo": "WHO and UNICEF recommend use of Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) strategy to reduce morbidity and mortality attributable to childhood pneumonia. Early antimicrobial therapy has been shown to reduce mortality. Resistance of the pneumococcus and Hib to beta-lactams (for example, ampicillin), sulfonamides (for example, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole) and other antimicrobials is increasing. Viruses such as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) may also cause ARI and pneumonia."

      "suspectedCase": "Clinical case definition (IMCI) for pneumonia: A child presenting with cough or difficult breathing and: 50 or more breaths per minute for infant age 2 months up to 1 year, 40 or more breaths per minute for young child 1 year up to 5 years. Note: A young infant age 0 up to 2 months with cough and fast breathing is classified in IMCI as “serious bacterial infection” and is referred for further evaluation.",
      "probableCase": "Clinical case definition (IMCI) for severe pneumonia: A child presenting with cough or difficult breathing and any general danger sign, or chest indrawing or stridor in a calm child. General danger signs for children 2 months to 5 years are: unable to drink or breast feed, vomits everything, convulsions, lethargy, or unconsciousness.",

    "respondToAlertThreshold": "If you observe that the number of cases or deaths is increasing over a period of time: Report the problem to the next level. Investigate the cause for the increase and identify the problem. Make sure that cases are managed according to IMCI guidelines. Treat cases appropriately with recommended antimicrobial drugs",
    "respondToActionThreshold": "If the number of case or deaths increases to two times the number usually seen during a similar period in the past: Assess health worker practices of IMCI guidelines for assessing, classifying and treating children with pneumonia and severe pneumonia. Identify high risk populations through analysis of person, place and time. Conduct community education about when to seek care for pneumonia.",

      "person": "Count monthly pneumonia and severe pneumonia cases. Count pneumonia deaths. Analyze age distribution.",
      "time": "Conduct month-to-month analysis for unexpected or unusual increases. Graph cases and deaths by month. Construct epidemic curve for outbreak cases. Plot month-to-month data and compare to previous periods.",
