We describe 22 patients who developed pneumococcal pneumonia within 96 hours of respiratory tract instrumentation. In 59% of cases, the time to onset of symptoms was <24 hours. Instrumentation bypasses normal protective barriers and carries organisms directly to the lower airways, leading to the rapid development of pneumonia.
我们描述了22例在呼吸道器械操作后96小时内发生肺炎球菌肺炎的患者。在59%的病例中,症状出现时间小于24小时。器械操作绕过了正常的保护屏障,将病原体直接带至下呼吸道,导致肺炎迅速发展。
