Klebsiella Pneumonia

A Review of Forty-five Cases and Re-evalution of the Incidence and Antibiotic Sensitivities

William T. Lampe II M.D.1

1 Veterans Administration Hospital, Hines, Illinois

The incidence of Klebsiella pneumonia is less than one per cent of all pneumonias. Forty-five Klebsiella pneumonias are reviewed. The mortality was 21 per cent. The results of antimicrobial therapy are analyzed in reation to the in vitro antibiotic sensitivities. These in vitro sensitivities on 161 strains of Klebsiella indicated that streptomycin and chloramphenicol are the drugs of choice. Streptomycin appears greatly superior to chloramphenicol in vitro. Streptomycin should always be used in combination with chloramphenicol.
