In pediatric populations, pneumonia is a major source of morbidity and mortality, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). It is crucial to understand the frequency and function of microorganisms in hospitalized pneumonia patients in order to guide diagnosis, treatment, and prevention strategies. The purpose of this review was to determine the prevalence of hospitalizations for pneumonia caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae in children under five in LMICs. Premature newborns now have a far higher survival rate because to ongoing advancements in medical technology. One of the most frequent bacteria that causes newborn infections is Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae), which poses a significant risk to preterm infants in particular. The purpose of this study was to examine the treatment results, antibiotic susceptibility profiles, and clinical features of K. pneumoniae infections in these neonates. In preterm newborns, K. pneumoniae isolates show significant infection prevalence, poor treatment results, and increased resistance. Our knowledge of K. pneumoniae infections and their relationship to clinical outcomes in preterm newborns is improved by these findings.The significant prevalence of K. pneumoniae in hospitalized pediatric pneumonia patients, especially in Asia, is highlighted in this analysis. In order to diagnose, treat, and prevent K. pneumoniae-associated pneumonia in pediatric populations, the results highlight the need for additional research, consistent criteria for grading pneumonia severity, and focused initiatives.
