Staphylococcal Pneumonia in Influenza: Five Cases
Abstract
During the early winter months of 1960 a second wave epidemic of Type "A" influenza (Asian strain) reached epidemic proportions in Minnesota. In Red Wing, a town of 10,000 people, there were an estimated 1,000 cases which occurred largely among healthy adults during a period of about 3 months. The first wave of this epidemic in 1959 either did not strike this community or was so mild that it was not identified as such. This second wave epidemic seemed to have several rather surprising characteristics: (1) few cases occurred among school children (no increase in school absenteeism as compared with identical weeks in previous years); (2) no epidemic among the approximately 120 aged people living in the 7 nursing homes in the city; (3) the severely ill patients (including 4 of the cases herein reported) were mostly among previously healthy adults. A considerable number of cases of primary influenzal pneumonia,

Secondary staphylococcal disease continued to be seen through the second wave of the Asian flu in 1960-1961, but for the following several decades staphylococci once again became uncommon as a cause of either primary or secondary pneumonia.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
