Abstract
Forty fatal cases of pseudomonas bronchopneumonia were found in a retrospective review of 600 consecutive necropsies in a children's hospital. This type of infection has been much more common in recent years and was shown to have a predilection for the premature infant dying in the neonatal period, who had been mechanically ventilated.Keywords
