RESULTS From them 11 cases were with community-acquired pneumonia and 20 cases with hospital-acquired pneumonia,the underlying diseases in 27 cases.Of these cases,19 cases were kidney transplant recipients,four cases with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,seven cases with non-insulin dependent diabetes,three cases with cerebral vascular diseases,and two cases were with malignant tumors.All cases were diagnosed by bronchoscopy,bronchial lavage,and BCE positive in douche liquid.At last there were 24(77.4%) cases cured,2 cases discharged(6.5%) and 5 cases deceased(16.1%). CONCLUSIONS BCE is a multi-drug resistant bacteria.BCE pneumonia often appears severe.It appears non-specific clinical symptoms in early stage and higher mortality.It should be treated as soon as possible by using piperacillin /tazobactam-based combined anti-infection treatment.
