Abstract
Summary.After serum treatment of 28 children, in whom the pneumonias were verified by X‐ray, no difference in the mortality was found in comparison with the control cases within the different pneumonias and age‐classes.The intraperitoneal blood transfusion is a valuable therapeutic remedy in the treatment of acute primitive as well as of chronic and migrating pneumonias, and it is able to serve as substitute for intravenous blood transfusion during the first year of life.46 Children (21 of whom below 2 years) with pneumonia, verified by X‐ray and typing, were treated with sulfanilylamino‐pyridine (M. & B. 693). Decrease of temperature ensued in 45 cases. One child died on account of complicating encephalitis with type VI. Sulfanilyl‐aminopyridine is able to kill pneumococci in lung tissue and blood, but not in brain tissue, which is poor in lymph.In the treatment of pneumonias in early childhood sulfanilyl‐aminopyridine is very superior to serum.
