Abstract
The case fatality rate among adults with community-acquired bacteremic pneumococcal pneumonia (Pnb) in Stockholm in 1984 was 11% (7/62), corresponding to an incidence of fatal Pnb of 0.5/100000. This figure is low compared to data from the US and the UK, but corresponds well to our finding of a 7% mortality among patients with Pnb in a recent study covering part of the Stockholm population (2 hospitals).This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
