In most articles dealing with pneumonia, either this complication is not mentioned at all or it is merely dismissed as a possible but exceedingly rare complication. Several reports of its occurrence in the pneumonias of infants and children have appeared during the past few years1-10but very few instances have been recorded in cases of acute lobar pneumonia in adults,11-31although it was recognized as far back as...References1.
