Penicillin Dosing for Pneumococcal Pneumonia
Chest, 1997Most textbook authors still endorse penicillin G as the specific antibiotic of choice for pneumococcal pneumonia. However, problems with early precise etiologic diagnosis of pneumonia and the emergence of drug-resistant pneumococci cause penicillin to be seldom used for this purpose today.

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.

Pneumococcal Pneumonia With Pneumatocele Formation
Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1978Two infants had pneumococcal pneumonia and bacteremia, complicated by pneumatocele formation. The pneumatoceles appeared during the recovery phase and were indistinguishable from those associated with staphylococcal pneumonia. Complete resolution occurred in both patients.

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

Antigen detection in pneumococcal pneumonia
Journal of Infection, 1991Streptococcus pneumoniae remains the commonest proven cause of community-acquired pneumonia in patients admitted to hospital, but no currently available diagnostic method can be regarded as a gold standard. Microscopy of sputum is usually considered insensitive and poorly specific, and more invasively-obtained specimens are not routinely collected ...

IMPORTANCE OF PNEUMOCOCCAL TYPING IN PNEUMONIA
The Lancet, 1970Abstract Pneumococci were isolated and typed from 137 patients with pneumonia. Types 3 and 8 were most commonly isolated and were found in 36% and 15% of cases respectively. Pneumococcal bacteraemia was present in 15% of patients. All patients were treated with antibiotics but the mortalityrate in bacteraemic pneumococcal pneumonia was 25%.
