38 Burden of Hospitalized Patients with Pneumococcal Pneumonia: Abstract

摘要

Patients admitted to hospital with pneumococcal pneumonia (PP) have significant morbidity and occasional mortality. Various complications including pleural effusion, bronchopleural fistula, sepsis, and hemolytic-uremic syndrome result in prolonged hospital stays. Complications of PP have been described as individual entities. However, encompassing studies of all-comer PP morbidity or complications are lacking.
