Abstract

Primary staphylococcic pneumonia has been adequately described as a clinical entity. Chickering and Park1reported 155 cases of Staphylococcus aureus pneumonia occurring during the influenza epidemic of 1918. At this time there were 8,100 patients with influenza at Camp Jackson, S. C., approximately 1,400 of whom later developed inflammatory changes in the lungs. The picture, as described, was one of over-whelming sepsis, the temperatures ranging from 104 to 106 F. with frequent remissions. A peculiar "cherry red indigo blue cyanosis" was a regular accompaniment of the picture. Physical signs were diffuse and surprisingly sparse in view of the extensive consolidation on roentgenographic examination. The sputum was described as being friable, purulent and of a dirty salmon pink color resembling anchovy sauce or the "contents of an overripe furuncle"; on culture this yielded Staphylococcus aureus as the predominating organism. Because of technical difficulties, few blood cultures were taken, and two

  • At Camp Jackson, autopsies found S. pneumoniae to be the bacterial co-infection most associated with pneumonia, and 155 of 312 lung cultures were positive for S. aureus.

    “Autopsies found S. pneumoniae to be the bacterial co-infection most associated with pneumonia, however, 155 of 312 lung cultures were positive for S. aureus (Michael, 1942; Brundage, 2006).”

  • At Camp Jackson, 17% of influenza cases progressed to pneumonia, and 31% of pneumonia cases were fatal.

    “At Camp Jackson, 17% of influenza cases progressed to pneumonia with a further 31% of pneumonia cases proving fatal.”

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.
