title: [Clinical laboratory characteristics of croupous pneumonia in recent years (based on data from the N. I. Pirogov Institute (RNPISMP) for 1980-1984)].
abstract: The results from retrospective clinical-laboratory study of 110 patients are reported, discharged with the final clinical diagnosis--croupous pneumonia, from the clinics of internal secretion of the institute for the period 1980 to 1984 including. It was established that the disease has become, in the last several years, more frequent, affecting younger subjects, with a predomination of males; the cases with sudden onset, occurring in younger people, have been reduced. In 1/4 of the cases bilateral involvement of the lungs by the disease was observed but at the same time, only several segments were very often involved and not the whole lobe; in about 1/3 of the cases, pleura was also involved. No cases with leukopenia were reported and leukocytosis was established in about 2/3 of the patients; shifting to the left is a more frequent sign of the disease as compared with leukocytosis.
