    Pneumonia and diarrhea are leading causes of death in children under five, often presenting as comorbid conditions that complicate treatment.

  • 2

    Gut microbiota dysbiosis in children with pneumonia-diarrhea comorbidity is characterized by reduced beneficial bacteria and increased opportunistic pathogens.

  • 3

    Immune disorders resulting from gut microbiota dysbiosis include Th1/Th2 imbalance and decreased regulatory T cell function, exacerbating inflammation.

  • 4

    Supplementation with microecological preparations like Saccharomyces boulardii can improve clinical outcomes, reducing hospital stays and enhancing immune function.

  • 5

    Future research should utilize metagenomic approaches to explore specific bacterial roles in gut-lung axis regulation for better prevention and treatment strategies.
