pubmed-article:9334470 | pubmed:abstractText | A two year old girl with chronic neurologic convulsive disease was admitted with a six day history of pneumonia and, despite treatment, died on hospital day 3. The X-ray revealed right upper lobar pneumonia. The results of pleural effusion and blood cultures drawn on admission yielded a non-typable Escherichia coli. No other source of infection was identified. The authors discuss the clinical and pathophysiological aspects of Escherichia coli pneumonia. | lld:pubmed |
