Abstract

A 80 year-old man was diagnosed as having gastric cancer by an upper G. I. series. During the course of the therapy with blood transfusion and predonisolone, acute pneumonia developed. A gram stain on direct smears from the sputum revealed numerous gram -negative diplococci in the polymorphonuclear cells and culture of the specimen yielded abundant colonies of Brahna-mella catarrhalis.
Carbenicillin and cephalothin were effective against that pneumonia, but soon after slight improvement, E. coli pneumonia developed and the patient died
Neeled biopsy specimen of the lung revealed the histological picutre of bonchopneumonia
