НЕОНАТАЛНИ ПНЕВМОНИИ, ПРЕДИЗВИКАНИ ОТ PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA (В. PYOCYANEUM)

Abstract

Macro- and histologic investigations are carried out of the lungs in 10 newborn children with pneumonia, caused by Bacterium pyocyaneum. Previous lesion of the fetus is established in all children, namely: asphyxia, malformations, pathologic pregnancy etc. On the basis of evidence for asphyxia, involvement of the bronchi and aspiration of amniotic waters, the inference is reached that the infection of the lungs in newborn with bacterium pyocyaneum is related to the delivery and occurs through aero genic pathways. A variety of histological alterations are disclosed in the lungs. The most common morphologic response on behalf of the pulmonary parenchyma is catarrhal desquamative inflammation.
