There were 18 fatal cases in the group. Nine of these are summarized in Table XVI as illustrative of the frequently complex character of bronchopneumonia following influenza and because of the interest attaching to the bacteriologic examinations made during life and at necropsy. Case 70 is a typical instance of the rapidly progressive type of confluent lobular pneumonia with extensive purulent bronchitis, intense cyanosis, and appearance of suffocation, with which pneumococci, in this case Pneumococcus IV, and B. influenzæ are commonly associated. Case 59 is illustrative of the small group of bronchopneumonias following influenza which die, often unexpectedly, after a long drawn out course, in this instance three weeks after onset. Examination of the sputum at the time the pneumonia began, showed Pneumococcus Type IV and B. influenzæ. At necropsy there was a lobular pneumonia with clustered small abscesses, probably due to a superimposed infection with S. aureus. There was a well-developed bronchiectasis in the left lower lobe. Cultures taken at autopsy showed a sterile heart’s blood, which is not infrequently the case in cases of pneumococcus lobular pneumonia after influenza. Cultures from the consolidated portions of the lung showed no growth, the pneumococcus having disappeared as might be expected from the duration of the case. B. influenzæ together with staphylococci were found in the bronchi. In Cases 50 and 56 a second attack of pneumonia caused by a different type of pneumococcus from that responsible for the first attack occurred, the second attack in both instances being due to contact infection with Pneumococcus Type II from a patient in a neighboring bed suffering with Pneumococcus Type II pneumonia. Both cases showed at necropsy the type of confluent lobular pneumonia so commonly found in pneumococcus pneumonias following influenza. Case 107 illustrates well the extent to which mixed infections may occur, especially when cases are treated in crowded hospital wards. The sputum at time of onset showed Pneumococcus IV in abundance and a few staphylococci. At necropsy there was a confluent lobular pneumonia with clustered abscesses, purulent bronchitis, and bronchiectasis in the left lower lobe. The heart’s blood was sterile, the lungs showed Pneumococcus Type III and staphylococci. B. influenzæ was not found, but through oversight, no cultures were taken from the bronchi. Cases 92, 99, 102, and 104 are all examples of superimposed hemolytic streptococcus infection occurring in the presence of a Pneumococcus Type IV pneumonia, with the picture of interstitial suppuration, abscess formation, and empyema due to S. hemolyticus on the background of a pneumococcus lobular pneumonia found at necropsy. All showed abundant pneumococci and B. influenzæ in the sputum and were free from hemolytic streptococci at time of onset of pneumonia, except Case 92 which showed 2 colonies of S. hemolyticus in the first sputum culture made.
