Epidemic Respiratory Disease: The pneumonias and other infections of the repiratory tract accompanying influenza and measles
The foregoing instance is an example of the chronic fibroid pneumonias
with bronchiectasis which occur as sequelæ of the epidemic of influenza.
It is not improbable that a considerable number of those who suffer with
chronic bronchitis and bronchiectasis following influenza have less
extensive lesions similar to those which have been described.
=Bacteriology of Unresolved Bronchopneumonia.=—Bacteria found in the
bronchi in 10 instances of chronic bronchopneumonia have been as
follows:
BACTERIA IN BRONCHI WITH CHRONIC BRONCHOPNEUMONIA
B. coli 1
B. influenzæ and pneumococcus 1
B. influenzæ and S. hemolyticus 2
B. influenzæ and staphylococcus 1
S. hemolyticus and B. coli 1
B. influenzæ, pneumococcus and staphylococcus 3
B. influenzæ, S. viridans and M. catarrhalis 1
Bacteria found in the lungs in 17 instances of chronic bronchopneumonia
were as follows:
BACTERIA IN LUNGS WITH CHRONIC BRONCHOPNEUMONIA
B. influenzæ 1
Staphylococcus 1
S. viridans 1
B. influenzæ and pneumococcus 1
B. influenzæ and S. hemolyticus 3
B. influenzæ and staphylococcus 3
Pneumococcus and S. hemolyticus 1
S. hemolyticus and B. coli 2
