[The morphofunctional changes in the air-blood barrier in hypostatic pneumonia].

An autopsy lung tissue was studied from former patients with hypostatic pneumonia following stroke. Two groups of patients were identified among the decreased: those having died within 4-24 hours after stroke (group I); those having died by day 4-6 after stroke (group II). The control was lung tissue from those persons having been killed in road-motoring accidents.
