| Popis: | Moraxella (formerly Branhamella) catarrhalis is now a well-recognized pathogen of the upper and lower respiratory tract. Four pediatric cases of life-threatening pneumonia requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation are presented. M. catarrhalis was isolated within 48 hours of admission in three of the cases and within 24 hours of an acute deterioration in the fourth. We conclude that M. catarrhalis is either a significant pathogen in its own right, a marker of severe disease, or a secondary invader. Pediatr Pulmonol. 1994; 17:393–395. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc. |
