Overview
Literature on aspiration pneumonia came in to knowledge of medical society along with discovery of pneumonia. Major break through 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 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. |
| 1946 | Fenn and coworkers published work on pulmonary gas exchange. |
| 1950 | Steroids were used for asthma. |
| 1970's | Plethora was discovered with introduction of using clindamycin in its treatment. |
| 1985 | Specimen collected from patients of aspiration pneumonia were vastly cultured and it was called anaerobic bandwagon. |
