Cole and MacCallum[74] have published almost simultaneously, with that just cited, a report upon the pneumonia which has occurred at Fort Sam Houston and have shown the importance of hemolytic streptococci in its causation. They have found two varieties of pneumonia, namely, acute lobar pneumonia which does not differ essentially from that which occurs elsewhere and bronchopneumonia which in most cases has followed measles and is caused by S. hemolyticus. They think this infection is usually acquired in the hospital. They believe that the pulmonary lesions are characteristic. In this publication and elsewhere MacCallum has designated the lesion “interstitial bronchopneumonia.” The epidemic of streptococcus pneumonia and empyema occurring at Camp Dodge, Iowa, from March 20 to May 10 is described by Miller and Lusk[75]. During this period there were 400 cases of pneumonia, whereas from September 20, 1917, to March 20 there had been only 276 instances of lobar pneumonia. The type of pneumonia changed, there was more severe intoxication and empyema became very frequent; in 85 of 95 exudates streptococci were found. The outbreak of pneumonia bore no relation to measles. The authors state that a mild tracheitis was prevalent in the cantonment during March, and whenever a large group of soldiers congregated coughing was noticeable. MacCallum[76] studied the pneumonia at Camp Dodge during May and found 17 instances of the lesion which he had designated interstitial bronchopneumonia; of these, 9 followed measles, although in the earlier part of the epidemic there appear to have been, he states, few such cases. Cultures made at autopsy, except in a few fatal cases of uncomplicated lobar pneumonia caused by the pneumococcus, showed the hemolytic streptococcus in every situation throughout the respiratory tract and pleura. The pneumonia which occurred at Camp Funston is of special interest to our commission because we were for a time stationed at this camp and had the opportunity of following in the excellent records of the hospital the history of the occurrence of pneumonia during the year following the establishment of the camp in September, 1917. Stone, Phillips and Bliss[77] have described the outbreak of pneumonia which occurred in March, 1918. At this time there was, the authors state, severe pneumonia with frequent empyemas due to hemolytic streptococci. This condition which did not follow measles was responsible for the greatly increased death rate in March; 9 deaths occurred in February, 45 in March, 25 in April and 14 in May. They found during March 26 instances of multiple pulmonary abscess. In 29 autopsies they found a pleural lesion which they designate “subcostosternal pus pockets”; it occurs only in association with empyema caused by hemolytic streptococci.
