[Clinical of 50 cases of aged patients with pneumonia caused by gram-negative bacteria].
The diagnosis and treatment of 50 cases of aged patients with pneumonia caused by gram-negative G-bacteria (from Feb. 1993 to Aug. 1997) were analyzed. Before the results of drug sensitive tests were reported, aminoglycosides plus broad-spectrum semisynthetic penicillin or first generation cephalosporin could improve the curative effect in patients with good renal function. Bacterial culture and drug sensitive tests were crucial for choosing the proper antibiotics.
