WHO defines cases of suspected pneumonia as children reported to have an illness with a cough accompanied by fast and/or difficult breathing. Simple cases of cold with a blocked nose are filtered out with a second question: “Were these symptoms due to a problem in the chest or a blocked nose?” If a local term for “rapid breathing” exists, using that term may be the simplest way to obtain cases of ARI that need to be seen by a health care provider.
