title: [Nosocomial pneumonia following surgery of esophageal tumors (apropos of 50 cases)].
abstract: Esophagus cancer surgery often becomes complicated with fistulas and above all with infections. In 50 cases, the authors relate 7 fistulas and 60 nosocomial infections among which pneumonia takes the first place. The pneumonia diagnosis has been established on the criteria of the "National Nosocomial Infection Study" and on bacteriologic samples. Those mostly isolate Gram-bacilli and streptococci. The diagnosis and etiologic factors leading to prophylactic measures are studied.
