Management of otitis media caused by resistant pneumococci in infants. Pulmonary hemorrhage in infants linked to Stachybotrys atra. An epidemiological investigation performed on the homes of 10 infants who developed pulmonary hemorrhage and hemosiderosis in Cleveland OH, revealed that the likelihood of finding this organism in the homes of the affected infants was higher than in homes of controls. It is hypothesized that S.atra produces mycotoxins which could be linked to the development of pulmonary hemorrhage. Acute Pulmonary Hemorrhage in infants associated with exposure to Stachybotrys atra and other fungi.
