The type of the pneumonic process, as well as the invading organism, has
varied widely in different localities. From the foregoing brief survey,
it will be seen that before the associations suggested above can be
proven, much more definite evidence must be presented.
An attempt has been made to correlate the bacteriological findings in
this series with the distribution and type of pneumonic process. These
are tabulated in Table III. It will be seen at a glance that no
relationship is demonstrable between the type of single or associated
organisms and the distribution of the pneumonia, whether it is lobar,
pseudolobar, peribronchial or lobular and whether acute fulminating,
necrotizing or organizing. (See Table No. III.)
