(1) Atypical pneumonia is relatively- common in the R.A.F.,
and a series of fifty -four cases are reviewed.
en
dc.description.abstract
(2) The cases can be subdivided according to severity. A
number of typical cases from each group are described in
detail, and the clinical features are compared with
other descriptions.

(3) The aetiology is probably analagous to that of influenzal
pneumonia, in that any upper respiratory infection paves
the way for invasion of the lung by pathogenic organisms.

(4) The pathology is that of an acute tracheobronchitia, with
secondary invasion causing a bron Ohio bopneumonia with
small areas of lobular partial atele ctosis. This
fundamental process may be present in all degrees of
severity.

(5) Atypical pneumonia of a more lobar distribution and affecting the right middle lobe, runs a prolonged course, is resistant to sulphapyridine, and has an increased risk
of resultant fibrosis.
