[Respiratory mycoplasmosis in surgical patients].
Respiratory organs of 35 patients older than 60 years, taken at random: dying after the operation with pneumonia, were studied. Pneumonia was of a various etiology, including respiratory mycoplasmosis in 13 patients. The latter was induced by Myc. pneumoniae, this being proved by immunofluorescent and serological examination. Small-focal lesions including characteristic changes of alveolocytes and bronchocytes were found in the lungs. Clinico-anatomical comparison allowed the conclusion that respiratory mycoplasmosis developed not infrequently before the operation.
