Tuberculosis pneumonia

Major causes of morbidity and mortality in many developing countries such as malaria, tuberculosis, pneumonia, acute diarrheas, maternal diseases can be treated with simple essential medicines (Box 1). But, essential medicines will save lives and improve health, only if they are available, affordable and of good quality, and properly utilized.

Before vitamin D was discovered, a widely held concept was that rickets and infection were related. Children, with rickets as the manifestation of their vitamin D deficiency, suffered from the common infectious maladies of the late eighteenth, nineteenth, and early twentieth centuries, namely, tuberculosis, pneumonia, dysentery, and severe measles (Park 1923). The rachitic lung was listed as one of the clinical features of rickets (Khajavi and Amirhakimi 1977). In a severe form of rickets leading to inanition and death, children often succumbed to serious infections (Chesney 2010). Indeed, rickets was felt by many child health professionals to be the result of infection (Jenner 1895). 

The ultracentrifuge has found comparatively little application to the study of pathological sera. McFarlane (235) obtained sedimentation diagrams of the sera in patients with tuberculosis, pneumonia, scarlet fever, multiple myeloma, ovarian carcinoma, and other disorders, but the results proved difiUcult to interpret. He found evidence of an increase in globuhns in some of the infections and in one case of myeloma noted a large fraction (probably not the X-protein), intermediate in sedimentation rate between the A and G components. Interesting results have been obtained in multiple myeloma (162, 178, 233, 235, 251, 271) in efforts to identify Bence-Jones proteins in the blood and urine. Whereas typical Bence-Jones proteins obtained from the urine (235, 251,...

Human foods that are particularly rich in copper (20 to 400 mg Cu/kg) include oysters, crustaceans, beef and lamb livers, nuts, dried legumes, dried vine and stone fruits, and cocoa (USEPA 1980). In humans, copper is present in every tissue analyzed (Schroeder et al. 1966). A 70-kg human male usually contains 70 to 120 mg of copper (USEPA 1980). The brain cortex usually contains 18% of the total copper, liver 15%, muscle 33%, and the remainder in other tissues — especially the iris and choroid of the eye. Brain gray matter (cortex) has significantly more copper than white matter (cerebellum) copper tends to increase with increasing age in both cortex and cerebellum. In newborns, liver and spleen contain about 50% of the total body burden of copper (USEPA 1980). Liver copper concentrations were usually elevated in people from areas with soft water (Schroeder et al. 1966). Elevated copper concentrations in human livers are also associated with hepatic disease, tuberculosis, hypertension, pneumonia, senile dementia, rheumatic heart disease, and certain types of cancer (Schroeder et al. 1966).

The symptoms include pneumonia and fluid around the lungs. The pneumonia may result from inhaling the bacterium during an assault or via bloodstream infection. Any infection with this bacterium may lead to blood infection, which may cause hypotension and shock. The three forms of this disease recognized are acute, subacute, and chronic. The acute form is primarily a bloodstream infection (septicemia). The subacute form mimics tuberculosis, and the chronic form presents an inflammation of skin tissue.3... 

Despite tlie high toxicity of phosphorus, it was formerly a widely used pharmaceutical, happily in quite small doses (though happier would have been no dose at all). It was recommended for nervous breakdown, depression, migraine, epilepsy, stroke, pneumonia, alcoholism, tuberculosis, cholera, and cataracts. " Free Phosphorus in Medicine, published in 1874, extolled its benefits. By 1930, elemental phosphorus was eliminated from the practice of medicine. That is entirely appropriate since it has absolutely no medical benefits. 

The European bubonic plague of 1347 killed one-third of the population of Europe. It is the largest single plague ever recorded. The disappearance of the Aztec civilization was spurred by smallpox and measles introduced by Hernando Cortes and his band of Spanish invaders. The same diseases also decimated Native Americans in what is now the United States. Much more recently, the influenza epidemic of 1918 killed an estimated 40 million people worldwide. Malaria continues to be a major problem for people and their countries today in areas in which it is endemic. AIDS, tuberculosis, influenza, hepatitis, pneumonia, and a lengthy list of parasitic infections continue as important constraints on the welfare of people throughout the world.
