Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because of the high fatality rate of untreated pneumococcal pneumonia, both the disease and its principal cause, the pneumococcus, were objects of intense scrutiny by physicians and bacteriologists during the last two decades of the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth. As a result, scientists learned much of the fundamental importance to microbiology, immunology, and genetics while developing the pneumococcal vaccine.

Download or read book Acute Lobar Pneumonia written by Oswald Avery and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-01-14 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Avery, Chickering, Cole and Dochez have been doing wonderful work in the study of pneumonia. Their monograph on the subject, No. 7, Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research, is a masterpiece. In discussing the etiologic diagnosis they observe that since it is now known that certain cases of pneumonia may be successfully treated with the serum of immune animals, provided that the organism used in preparing the serum is identical with that causing the infection, etiologic diagnosis becomes imperative. Practical and quite rapid methods have now been devised for the detection of the organism causing the disease. even for the differentiation of the specific types of pneumococci. This etiologic diagnosis is, however, not only of importance in relation to serum therapy, but has an important bearing on prognosis and is essential for acquiring knowledge concerning the epidemiology of this disease. For the determination of the etiologic agent in cases due to other organisms than pneumococcus, the same general methods are applicable as in cases due to pneumococcus. In certain cases, as those due to Friedlander's bacillus, streptococcus, or staphylococcus, the microscopic examination of the sputum gives much information and cultures of the sputum made on agar plates may show a great predominance of the organisms causing the disease. When the sputum from these cases is inoculated into a mouse these organisms outgrow the ordinary mouth saprophytes just as do pneumococci. Blood cultures from the patient, when positive give, of course, clear evidence as to the nature of the infection. In the cases due to pneumococcus it is important not only to determine that the infection is due to this bacterium, but it is also of prime importance to determine the specific type of pneumococcus causing the infection, since treatment with serum is only applicable in the cases due to type I organisms. The authors give a careful description of the various procedures employed in the isolation of pneumococci and determination of the specific types. The types of the pneumococcus are determined by the agglutination or precipitation methods, although type III can be identified morphologic and cultural differences. There is also explained the determination of types of pneumococcus in blood cultures, spinal fluids, empyema fluids and by lung puncture, and by means of specific precipitin reaction in the urine. -Medical Times, Vol.46
Download or read book Pneumonia Before Antibiotics written by Scott H. Podolsky and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2006-05-01 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Uses [pneumonia] as a vehicle for examining the evolution of therapeutics in America between the ‘Golden Age of Microbiology’ and the ‘Age of Antibiotics.’”—Isis Focusing largely on the treatment of pneumonia in first half of the century with type-specific serotherapy, clinician-historian Scott H. Podolsky provides insight into the rise and clinical evaluation of therapeutic “specifics,” the contested domains of private practice and public health, and—as the treatment of pneumonia made the transition from serotherapy to chemotherapy and antibiotics—the tempo and mode of therapeutic change itself. Type-specific serotherapy, founded on the tenets of applied immunology, justified by controlled clinical trials, and grounded in a novel public ethos, was deemed revolutionary when it emerged to replace supportive therapeutics. With the advent of the even more revolutionary sulfa drugs and antibiotics, pneumonia ceased to be a public health concern and became instead an illness treated in individual patients by individual physicians. Podolsky describes the new therapeutics and the scientists and practitioners who developed and debated them. He finds that, rather than representing a barren era in anticipation of some unknown transformation to come, the first decades of the twentieth-century shaped the use of, and reliance upon, the therapeutic specific throughout the century and beyond. This intriguing study will interest historians of medicine and science, policymakers, and clinicians alike. “Podolsky’s scholarship is awesome, and his grasp of the philosophical and sociologic context of the issues considered make this an important work.” —New England Journal of Medicine “This thoroughly documented, carefully written book is a landmark analysis . . . It should be read by everyone who is involved in research and therapeutic development.” —JAMA

Download or read book Pneumonia and the Biology of Pneumococcus written by Roderick Heffron and published by . This book was released on 1979-06-14 with total page 1112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The search for effective immunization against pneumonia was a principal avenue of investigation before the advent of The search for effective immunization against pneumonia was a principal avenue of investigation before the advent of antibiotics made such an effort appear unnecessary. Recently, however, the limitations of antibiotic therapy have become increasingly evident, and interest has been renewed in many of the threads of research which have all but lain dormant since the 1930s. In 1978, a pneumococcal vaccine was licensed by the F.D.A., merely as evidence of a renaissance in pneumococcal research which is now taking place. We are pleased to be reissuing two classic volumes which provide a unique repository of data amassed prior to the time when penicillin precluded further exhaustive observation of the unmodified infection. Heffron's Pneumonia is a compilation and analysis of all aspects of pneumococcal disease, including the distribution of pneumococcal types, the pathology of pneumonia, its epidemiology, symptoms, signs, complications, diagnosis, prognosis, and immunology. With a complete cross-reference index and an extensive bibliography, Heffron's book is still the definitive work on pneumococcal infections. White's Biology of Pneumococcus contains the wealth of information acquired in the first six decades following the discovery of the pneumococcus. With a bibliography drawing together some 1593 papers, White's volume is of unquestionable significance as a historical record and the basis for further study.
