Article Description

We describe 22 patients who developed pneumococcal pneumonia within 96 hours of respiratory tract instrumentation. In 59% of cases, the time to onset of symptoms was <24 hours. Instrumentation bypasses normal protective barriers and carries organisms directly to the lower airways, leading to the rapid development of pneumonia.
