Getting Pneumonia Some Respect


Dec 5th, 2006 3:00 PM UTC
By Virginia Simmons


Dr. Orin S. Levine, a professor at Johns Hopkins University, is out to get pneumonia some respect.


According to a piece in today’s New York Times pneumonia kills two million children a year, more than AIDS, malaria and measles combined, and yet it receives a fraction of their media attention and research funding.


“Part of the problem, he argues, is that pneumonia specialists ‘have a collective inferiority complex because our disease is so hard to diagnose.’ ”


The piece goes on to say:


“Another problem for the field [of studying pneumonia] is that almost every word in it is unpronounceable, including causal bacteria with names like streptococcus pneumoniae and haemophilus influenzae and the unfortunate moniker of the organization that Dr. Levine heads, pneumoADIP.”
