RESUMEN
Se efectuó un estudio descriptivo y transversal en 112 ancianos y ancianas con diagnóstico de bronconeumonía bacteriana, ingresados en el Servicio de Medicina Interna del Hospital Provincial Docente Saturnino Lora de Santiago de Cuba durante el primer semestre del 2006, con vista a determinar la acción del tratamiento antimicrobiano seleccionado en la evolución de la enfermedad, para lo cual se revisaron las historias clínicas correspondientes. En la casuística predominaron el sexo femenino (58,0 por ciento), el grupo etario de 70 a 74 años y el criterio de selección del antibiótico empírico (61,7 por ciento); esto último fue generalmente la causa de una evolución desfavorable y una estadía hospitalaria prolongada en la mayoría de los pacientes.

In the case material prevailed the female sex (58,0 per cent), the age group of 70 to 74 years and the selection criterion of the empiric antibiotic (61,7 per cent); this last was generally the cause of an unfavorable clinical course and a prolonged hospital stay in most of the patients.
