Abstract
The reasons for the current decline in childhood staphylococcal pneumonia are not immediately apparent. Nevertheless, the clini cian must not forget the possibility of this disease, particularly with infants under one year of age. Adequate antibiotic therapy together with surgical drainage of the pleural space, if the lat ter is necessary, will result in complete resolution without se quelae. Such an infection may indicate an underlying cystic fibrosis.
