Comparative Study[Analysis of clinical features and outcome of nosocomial pneumonia caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa].
This prospective study was focused on the initiation, development and outcome of nosocomial pneumonia (NP) caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in 51 patients receiving intensive therapy. The most characteristic features of this NP proved to be severe clinical course and poor prognosis (38% lethality). ⋯ Other frequent conditions were tissue destruction and oedema. The need of immediate hospitalization at the intensive therapy ward, septic shock, and infectious disease were predictors of fatal outcome of NP.
