THE EPIDEMIC OF PNEUMONIA FOLLOWING INFLUENZA AT CAMP LOGAN, TEXAS: PRELIMINARY REPORT
Open accessAbstract
During the period from Sept. 13 to Oct. 8, 1918, inclusive, there were admitted to the base hospital 2,487 cases of influenza, and 416 cases of pneumonia developed, practically all from the influenza cases. The pneumonia has differed in character so widely from the types reported elsewhere that a record seems to be advisable. Clinically, the disease was lobar pneumonia in all but fifty cases. Generally on the second to the fourth day of the influenza the temperature rose, usually, to about 104, occasionally with a distinct chill. Flatness over one lower lobe, often over both, was found at the first examination. In about half the cases suppressed respiration was noted, but crepitant râles could be elicited in nearly all cases and sharp bronchophony in a considerable number, even from the time of the first examination. Of the whole number of cases, in only four did the disease begin in

“A number of factors have been proposed to contribute to the severity of influenza disease, including uncontrolled virus replication and spread (19, 38), secondary bacterial infection (7, 20, 57), and excessive or dysregulated inflammatory responses (44, 73).”

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.
