Pneumonia (Klebsiella pneumoniae)
Friedlander pneumonia usually causes consolidation in more than one lobe. Histologically, it is characterized by
necrosis and often leads to lung abscess. This organism is often the cause of chronic infection in cases of
bronchiectasis, but in cystic fibrosis the causative organism is more likely to be Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
