Core Tip	Complicated community-acquired pneumonia (CCAP) follows a severe course, and involve complications such as para-pneumonic effusion, necrotizing pneumonia (NP), empyema, or lung abscess. Present study conducted 5 years after introduction of pneumococcal vaccine in India found Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli as the most common bacterial etiology of pediatric CCAP. In addition, empyema was found to be due to a delay in antibiotics administration, and NP was the most severe pediatric CCAP with prolonged hospitalization. This is important as far as the empirical antibiotics as well as further management of pediatric CCAP cases are concerned.
