Serratia marcescens pneumonia. 1977

G C Carlon, and P C Dickinson, and P L Goldiner, and A D Turnbull, and W S Howland

Though rare, Serratia marcescens pneumonia is being reported with increasing frequency, especially in patients in intensive care units. We report three cases of S. marcescens pneumonia that presented striking similarities for age, group, type of surgical procedure, and microbiological, hemodynamic, and respiratory patterns. All patients survived after prolonged ventilatory support.
