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