在35名老年经气管吸入物(TTA)记录的院内肺炎患者中，7例(20%)有肺炎链球菌感染。报告了这7名患者和另外2名院内肺炎球菌肺炎患者的临床和流行病学资料。恶性肿瘤和慢性阻塞性肺疾病是最常见的诱因疾病。9名患者中有4名此前曾接受过抗生素治疗。革兰氏阴性需氧菌肺炎前(2例)、合并肺炎球菌感染(3例)和肺炎球菌感染后(2例)。
Among 35 elderly patients with transtracheal aspirate (TTA)‐documented nosocomial pneumonia, 7 (20 percent) had Streptococcus pneumoniae infection. Clinical and epidemiologic data are reported on these 7 patients and on 2 others with nosocomial pneumococcal pneumonia documented by bacteremia. Malignancy and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were the most common predisposing illnesses. Four of the 9 patients had previously received antibiotic therapy. Gram‐negative aerobic pneumonia was found before (2 cases), concomitant with (3 cases), and after (2 cases) the pneumococcal infection in these patients.
