LONG-TERM FOLLOW-UP OF STAPHYLOCOCCAL PNEUMONIA

Melvin B. Wise M.D.1, Pierre H. Beaudry M.D.1, and David V. Bates M.D.1

1 Department of Pediatrics, McGill University and the Respiratory Function Unit of the Montreal Children's Hospital, Montreal, Canada

Fifteen patients who had recovered from severe staphylococcal pneumonia in infancy and early childhood were studied 5 to 16 years after the original disease. From the interim history, there was no suggestion of subsequent increased incidence or severity of respiratory disease. Physical examination and chest x-rays were all within normal limits. There was no evidence of disturbance of pulmonary function, as measured by vital capacity, functional residual capacity, residual volume, total lung capacity, forced expiratory volume, maximum mid-expiratory flow rate and mixing efficiency. Thus, all information obtained from these 15 patients indicates their complete recovery.
