Acute Onset of Pneumococcal Pneumonia Following Instrumentation of the Respiratory Tract

We describe 22 patients who developed pneumococcal pneumonia within 96 hours of respiratory tract instrumentation. In 59% of cases, the time to onset of symptoms was <24 hours. Instrumentation bypasses normal protective barriers and carries organisms directly to the lower airways, leading to the...

description We describe 22 patients who developed pneumococcal pneumonia within 96 hours of respiratory tract instrumentation. In 59% of cases, the time to onset of symptoms was <24 hours. Instrumentation bypasses normal protective barriers and carries organisms directly to the lower airways, leading to the rapid development of pneumonia.
