A retrospective review of gram-negative bacteraemia in Papua New Guinean adults revealed four cases of primary gram negative pneumonia over a two-year period. Patients with primary gram negative pneumonia constituted less than 1% of all pneumonias admitted to the medical ward. Pseudomonas pseudomallei, Haemophilus influenzae and Klebsiella pneumoniae were the aetiologic agents. Three of four patients died following a fulminant course. It is concluded that primary gram-negative pneumonia in Papua New Guinea is rare but carries a high mortality.
对巴布亚新几内亚成年人革兰氏阴性菌血症的回顾性研究显示，在两年时间里有4例原发性革兰氏阴性菌肺炎病例。原发性革兰氏阴性菌肺炎患者占内科病房收治的所有肺炎患者的比例不到1%。伪鼻疽伯克霍尔德菌、流感嗜血杆菌和肺炎克雷伯菌是病原体。4名患者中有3名在经历暴发性病程后死亡。研究得出结论，巴布亚新几内亚的原发性革兰氏阴性菌肺炎很罕见，但死亡率很高。
