129 cases of lobar pneumonia were analysed. The frequency of occurrence in autopsy material was 2.5%, and has not increased or decreased appreciably in the past 20 years. Men and women were affected with approximately the same frequency up to the age of 40, thereafter male mortality is considerably higher. The diagnosis of a lobar pneumonia was made clinically in only 16 percent of the cases. The anatomical appearance of the illness has not changed compared to the findings of earlier studies, however chronic clinical courses are common, occurring in about 15% of the cases. The lobar pneumonia was the direct or indirect cause of death in all instances. There has been a remarkable change in the causative agents in favor of gram negative organisms.
对129例大叶性肺炎病例进行了分析。在尸检材料中的发生率为2.5%，在过去20年中没有明显增加或减少。40岁之前，男性和女性的患病频率大致相同，此后男性死亡率显著更高。仅16%的病例是通过临床诊断为大叶性肺炎的。与早期研究结果相比，该病的解剖学表现没有变化，然而慢性临床病程很常见，约15%的病例出现这种情况。在所有病例中，大叶性肺炎都是直接或间接的死亡原因。病原体发生了显著变化，革兰氏阴性菌更为常见。
