Figure 1 Effect of anti-infective therapy on survival in patients with pneumococcal bacteremia in 3 eras: the preantibiotic era (384 patients), the period during which serotype-specific hyperimmune serum was used therapeutically (93 patients), and the early antibiotic era, when low-dose penicillin was the treatment of choice (298 patients). Approximately 10% of patients in all 3 periods died within the first 5 days of hospitalization, even those receiving adequate anti-infective therapy.
