Abstract
A case of persistent pneumonia in a depressed adult woman occurring as a complication of the repeated insertion of foreign bodies into the t rachea via a tracheostomy is presented. This is an unusual complicatio n of tracheostomy but should be considered in cases of persistent or u nusual pulmonary infection in tracheostomy patients.
