Lethality of pneumonia according to the data of the center for ecological pulmonology
Abstract
13 lethal outcomes of the croupous pneumonia were analyzed. The patients’ social status and life conditions, the timeliness of taking medical advice and the completeness of emergency medical care were estimated. The Municipal Center for Ecological Pulmonology conducted this study taking into consideration objective characteristics of the environment. In authors’ opinion the long living in cities with many industrial enterprises contributed to the development of chronic respiratory diseases leading to more severe course of pneumonia and fatal outcome.
