Viral and Mycoplasmal Pneumonias

Prevention and Treatment

Hobart A. Reimann M.D.1

1 Hahnemann Medical College and Hospital

The discovery of many filtrable microbes that cause acute minor respiratory tract infections and their component pneumonias solyed many diagnostic and epidemiologic problems, but raised others in regard to prevention and treatment. The separation of mycoplasmal, bedsonial and coxiellar pneumonias from those of viral origin placed antimicrobic therapy on a logical basis for these infections. Hopefully, vaccines eventually will serve to control acute respiratory tract infections, but the multiplicity of causal microbes and other difficulties do not simplify the matter.
