Asking for Other, Female, 1 years old, Nazimabad
She was infected with pneumonia after pneumonia treatment her pro Bnb is raised till 330.2
get opinion from pediatric cardiologist and get an echocardiography done
Can have a post infections myocarditis or sometimes NT pro BNP can be raised in pneumonia. Yes if there are symptoms then get an echo done
During pneumonia you have sepsis and BNP levels can rise hence it can be false positive for Heart Failure
Don't worry
Get an echo done by a Paeds Cardiologist
