Overview
The literature on aspiration pneumonia came into knowledge of medical society along with the discovery of pneumonia. During 1893, Veillon was first to write about the role of anaerobic bacteria in aspiration pneumonia. The major breakthrough came when x-ray was invented by Roentgen in 1896.
Historical Perspective
Following are important land mark events that shows how aspiration pneumonia became an important entity of critical care:[1][2][3][4][5][6]
| Year | Events |
|---|---|
| 460 BC–380 BC | Hippocrates described pneumonia. |
| 1138–1204 AD | Maimonides wrote about pneumonia as "The basic symptoms which occur in pneumonia and which are never lacking are as follows: acute fever, sticking pleuritic pain in the side, short rapid breaths, serrated pulse, and cough." |
| 1875 | Edwin Klebs identified bacteria in the airways of individuals who died from pneumonia. |
| 1848 | Carl Friedländer identified the two common bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumoniae and Klebsiella pneumoniae that cause pneumonia. |
| 1893 | Veillon was first to write about the role of anaerobic bacteria in aspiration pneumonia. |
| 1896 | Roentgen described x-rays. |
| 1918 | Sir William Osler, known as "the father of modern medicine," appreciated the morbidity and mortality of pneumonia, describing it as the "captain of the men of death." |
| 1927 | Smith was first to clearly show anaerobic bacterial growth in animal models suffered from aspiration pneumonia. |
| 1929 | Drinker and Shaw announced the invention of the iron lung during the polio epidemic. |
| 1985 | Specimen collected from patients with aspiration pneumonia were vastly cultured and it was called anaerobic bandwagon. |
