Pneumococcal pneumonia

Therapeutische Umschau, 2001
Pneumokokken sind die wichtigsten Erreger der bakteriellen Pneumonien mit weiterhin hoher Morbidität und Mortalität. Die wichtigsten Charakteristika der Pneumokokken-Pneumonie sind Fieber, Schüttelfrost, produktiver Husten und ein radiologisch nachgewiesenes Infiltrat. Penicilline sind weiterhin die erste Wahl bei Pneumokokkeninfektionen.

Pneumococcal pneumonia with bacteraemia

British Journal of Diseases of the Chest, 1984
Fourteen cases of pneumococcal pneumonia with bacteraemia have been studied. Thirteen of the patients were older than 50 years and in ten there was evidence of pre-existing disease. Pneumococci of six serotypes were responsible for these infections but type 3 was the commonest and was associated with three of the four fatal cases. The patients who died

Pathogenesis of Pneumococcal Pneumonia [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1991
Pneumococcal pneumonia poses a serious threat to children in developing countries and remains an important disease in the industrialized world. Capsular polysaccharide is the only bacterial factor proven to contribute to pathogenesis. However, the mechanisms responsible for the hypoxemia, toxemia, crisis, and death associated with this common infection

Pneumococcal pneumonia

Current Infectious Disease Reports, 1999
Pneumococcal pneumonia accounts for about one-sixth to two-thirds of all cases of community-acquired pneumonia. Its high frequency of occurrence worldwide and the high number of deaths associated with it--especially with bacteremic (invasive) disease--mark its importance.

Pneumococcal Pyomyositis Secondary to Pneumonia

Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1997
A case of pneumococcal pyomyositis of the brachial and shoulder region is presented. A bacteremic right lower lobe pneumonia was the source of infection. The spread of pneumococci was presumed to be blood-borne, presenting with cellulitis over the right shoulder region, progressing over 5 days to abscess formation in the right biceps muscle and right ...

Molecular pathogenesis of pneumococcal pneumonia

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2001
The past two decades have witnessed an explosion of data on the molecular pathogenesis of pneumonia caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, one of the most important pathogens currently plaguing man. Identification and functional analysis of genes and their proteins, elucidation of mechanisms involved in adherence, colonization, inflammation, and invasion,

Bacteremic Pneumococcal Pneumonia

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1985
To the Editor. —In his prospective study on bacteremic pneumococcal pneumonia, Dr Esposito 1 usefully extended our understanding of this often fatal condition. His case fatality rates of 10% in adults under age 65 years and 17% in persons over age 65 years were impressively low.

Bacteremic Pneumococcal Pneumonia in the Elderly

The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1984
Pneumococcal pneumonia is an increasingly important disorder of the elderly. We reviewed, retrospectively, the clinical and laboratory manifestations of 29 elderly patients with bacteremic pneumococcal pneumonia during a five year period and surveyed the capsular serotypes of all blood isolates.

Pneumococcal Sepsis and Pneumonia in the Neonate

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1979
Two 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.
