本文扼要介绍国外1983～1984年有关肺炎球菌感染的研究概况。肺炎球菌感染发病情况肺炎球菌感染的实际发病率仍不明确,如能对患者的血液、痰液或体液采用对流免疫电泳法(countercurrent immunoelectrophoresis,CIE)和放射免疫法(RIA)等检测肺炎球菌抗原,则可更精确地估计肺炎球菌感染的发病率。 Lockley报告英国诺丁汉地区院外感染的肺炎患者中,3/4经CIE证实为肺炎 This article briefly introduces the foreign survey of pneumococcal in 1983 ~ 1984. The incidence of pneumococcal infection The actual incidence of pneumococcal infection is still not clear, such as the patient’s blood, sputum or body fluid using convective immuno-electrophoresis (countercurrent immunoelectrophoresis, CIA) and radioimmunoassay (RIA) and other detection of pneumococcal antigen , The incidence of pneumococcal infection can be more accurately estimated. Three-fourths of C pneumonia confirmed by CIE were reported by Lockley in patients with pneumonia outside Nottingham, UK
