In that period many changes have taken place both in the treatment of this disorder and in the attitude of the medical profession toward it. The introduction of a series of antimicrobial drugs effective against all capsular types of pneumococcus has led to widespread abandonment of the more precise bacteriologic techniques designed for the recognition of this organism and secondarily to the impression that pneumococcal disease no longer constitutes a serious medical problem. To determine the validity of these practices and attitudes, established techniques for...References1. TILGHMANFINLAND RCM: Clinical significance of bacteremia in pneumococcal pneumonia. Arch. Intern.

How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design.
