Sixty-four patients who had been admitted to hospital in the Gambia with acute lobar pneumonia were investigated. Lung aspiration proved to be the most effective method of establishing a bacterial etiology, and Streptococcus pneumoniae was the pathogen isolated most frequently from patients irrespective of age. Among children, Haemophilus influenzae, either singly or in combination with another bacterial agent, was an important cause of pneumonia. Of 13 isolates of H. influenzae two were of serotype a, while four others were non-capsulated. All isolates of S. pneumoniae and H. influenzae were sensitive to penicillin.
对64名因急性大叶性肺炎入住冈比亚医院的患者进行了调查。肺穿刺抽吸术被证明是确定细菌病因的最有效方法,无论年龄大小,肺炎链球菌都是从患者中分离出的最常见病原体。在儿童中,流感嗜血杆菌单独或与另一种细菌病原体联合是肺炎的重要病因。在13株流感嗜血杆菌分离株中,2株为a型血清型,另外4株为无荚膜型。所有肺炎链球菌和流感嗜血杆菌分离株均对青霉素敏感。
