Abstract

One hundred fifty four cases of pneumonia occurring over a 6 month period were analyzed. Population characteristics admission diagnoses, causative pathogens, frequency of associated illnesses, antibiotic usage and mortality were evaluated. Despite population characteristics known to predispose to a poor clinical outcome, the mortlity was low, probably because of rapid institution of a single, appropriate antibiotic.
