Pneumococcal Sepsis and Pneumonia in the Neonate
Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1979Two neonates had early onset Diplococcus pneumoniae septicemia and pneumonia. Both recovered after intensive respiratory and antibiotic therapy, although a review of the literature indicates that early pneumococcal septicemia has been associated with an extremely high mortality.

Cellulitis in complicated pneumococcal pneumonia
British Journal of Diseases of the Chest, 1977Serious complications of pneumococcal pneumonia have become uncommon. This has been attributed to decline in pneumococcal infection (van Roy et al. 1971; Foy et al. 1975), but in this country it is more likely to be due to effective antibiotic therapy.

Emerging drugs for pneumococcal pneumonia
Expert Opinion on Emerging Drugs, 2011Nowadays, despite excellent antibiotics being available, mortality of pneumococcal pneumonia remains high. The excellent antipneumococcal activity and the large amount of clinical data available with β-lactams and fluorquinolones will probably delay the need for new antibiotics. However, concerns about the evolution of antibiotic resistance justify the
