Excerpt from Pneumonia and Pneumococcus Infections
Another and important fact which recent years has made clear is that the pneumococcus is capable of causing other clinical pictures than that of the pneumonia and it seems reasonable to include here some, even though brief, description of them. With this introduction we can take up the subject of pneumococcus infections, particularly the pneumo coccus pneumonia, but before doing so it would be well to dwell upon a fact now very generally known, namely that in this part Of the world pneu monia has come to be one Of the most important Of the problems confronting the profession. Laennec, whose genius shed so much light upon this and other diseases of the thoracic viscera says Of pneumonia This is one Of the most serious and the commonest diseases and in frigid and temperate climates causes more deaths than any other acute disease. Juergensen thirty years ago said of it, Next to phthisis it is one of the most dangerous enemies of man. Since then the question has still further altered and today pneumonia causes more deaths than tuberculosis.
