Overview
Goodpasture syndrome was first discovered by Dr.Ernest William Goodpasture, an American pathologist and physician, who studied the influenza pandemic in 1919, described a fatal disease that was associated with glomerulonephritis and pulmonary hemorrhage.
Historical Perspective
- The name Goodpasture's syndrome was first coined in 1957 in Melbourne, Australia by Stanton and Tange to describe 9 patients who presented with glomerulonephritis along with pulmonary hemorrhage.[1]
- However, In a book titled "Earnest William Goodpasture: Scientist, Scholar, Gentelman" by Dr. Robert D. Collins, Dr. Goodpasture believed that the name of this syndrome should not be named after him as he deemed it inappropriate as he had not studied the disease.[2][3]
- However, the name was adopted and is used today when describing the syndrome.
