Amaç
2019 koronavirüs hastalığı (COVID-19), Aralık 2019'dan bu yana önemli bir halk sağlığı tehdidi olmuştur. Bununla birlikte pnömoni, özellikle gelişmekte olan ülkelerde, çocuk ölümlerinin başlıca nedenlerinden biri olmaya devam etmektedir.
Olgu Sunumu
Bu çalışmada, COVID-19 dışındaki farklı etkenlerin neden olduğu pnömoni görülen 11 çocuk olgu sunulmaktadır. Tüm hastalarda SARS-CoV-2 polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu negatif sonuçlanmıştır. Bu olgu serisinde pnömoninin en sık nedeni Streptococcus pneumoniae olarak belirlenmiştir. Bir hastada eş zamanlı olarak pulmoner tüberküloz teşhisi konulmuştur.
Sonuç
Klinisyenler, çocuklarda yaygın görülen bu enfeksiyonların uygun yönetimi için COVID-19 dışındaki diğer bilinen pnömoni nedenlerini de göz önünde bulundurmalıdır.

Objective
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been a major public health threat since December 2019. However, pneumonia remains one of the major causes of childhood death, especially in developing countries.
Case Report
Here, we report 11 children with pneumonia caused by different non-COVID-19 agents. The SARS-CoV-2 polymerase chain reaction was negative in all patients. The most causative pathogen of pneumonia was Streptococcus pneumoniae. One patient was diagnosed with concomitant pulmonary tuberculosis.
Conclusion
Cinicians should consider other old non-COVID-19 causes of pneumonia in children to accurately manage these common infections.
