We have reviewed the current literature and the case histories of 10 patients with varying degrees of respiratory illness from whom K. pneumoniaewas isolated. The following points have been derived: 1.Predisposing diseases are important in the etiology of Friedlander's pneumonia. Six of our patients had diabetes.2.Isolation of Friedlander's bacillus from a patient with pulmonary disease does not prove causal relationship.3.Early bacteriological diagnosis is important.4.Combined therapy with penicillin and streptomycin was ineffective in this series.5.The best antibiotic regimen is probably streptomycin plus a broad spectrum antibiotic.6.Chronic Friedlander's pneumonia may resemble tuberculosis or carcinoma.7.The use of nor-epinephrine and/or cortisone may be lifesaving as supplemental therapy for acute overwhelming pneumonias. |
