Klebsiella pneumonia with pneumatocele formation in a newborn infant.

Year: 1973

Type: article

Abstract: The case of a premature infant with bacteriologically proved klebsiella pneumonia in the first week of life is reported. The clinical course was complicated by the early formation of pneumatoceles and subsequent recurrent pneumothoraces. Treatment consisted of antibiotic therapy and chest tube drainage. Satisfactory clinical recovery, growth and psychomotor development were noted at 1 year of age, despite the persistence of a pneumatocele in the right lung.
