Abstract：Objective To summarize the clinical diagnosis and treatment of secondary organizing pneumonia(SOP)in children after infection.Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of a child with SOP after infection,and reviewed the reported cases of pediatric SOP through literature search.Results The patient presented with persis-tent dry cough as the main clinical symptom.The chest CT imaging and bronchoscopy biopsy results were consistent with SOP,and the diagnosis was post-infectious SOP;the CT lesions were significantly absorbed with anti-infection and steroid therapy.Eleven cases of SOP children with a variety of etiology and intricate and varied imaging presentations were docu-mented after a survey of the literature.The majority of cases had a high survival rate and responded favorably to glucocorti-coid therapy.Conclusions The diagnosis of SOP in children after infection requires the integration of clinical manifesta-tions,imaging,bronchoscopy biopsy,and pathology,with pathology being the gold standard.Early diagnosis and the ad-ministration of anti-infection and hormone therapy lead to a good prognosis.
