Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pneumonia Introduction: Some Remarks on the History, and Occurrence of Prognosis Monia, With Brief Statis-Tical Data Subsequent studies of great importance were made by Laennec, Cruveilhier and Rokitansky. The actual diagnosis of pneumonia by determining its physical signs was first described by Auenbrugger and Laennec, while to Rokitansky belongs the credit of first differentiating between lobar and lobular types. Occurrence: Pneumonia is world-wide in its occurrence. The people of some countries seem rather less prone to the ravages of this disease notably - those near the equator - but none escape it entirely. Emigration seems to rob individuals of any immunity they may have established in their native climes, and in the country of their adoption they often become much more susceptible. This opens up a most interesting line of thought concerning bacterial virulence and there can be little doubt that the pneumococcus is an organism particularly subject to environal modification. This fact taken into consideration with the great variability of human susceptibility makes it extremely difficult to establish any fixed data as to the occurrence of pneumonia.
