title: [Lobar pneumonia in alcoholics].
abstract: Four cases of unexpected death in chronic alcoholics are described where autopsy showed lobar pneumonia. Attention is drawn to the problems related to recognising this disease in this patient category, where the symptoms may be incompletely described or atypical and contact to a doctor frequently occurs late in the course of the disease.
