Though rare, Serratia marcescens pneumonia is being reported with
increasing frequency, especially in patients in intensive care units. We
report three cases of S. marcescens pneumonia that presented striking
similarities for age, group, type of surgical procedure, and
microbiological, hemodynamic, and respiratory patterns. All patients
survived after prolonged ventilatory support.
